I show that the interaction depends on pervasiveness of guns, injury probabilities and, in particular, the impact of the gun on the probability of success against armed relative to unarmed adversaries. While the sanction on armed offense is max...

Abstract The firing efficiency during the marching fire is an important indicator to measure combat of self-propelled antiaircraft gun, and it very improve accuracy fire. In order understand coupling mechanism between density various influencing factors anti-aircraft guns, this paper combines different driving shooting conditions study such as speed, road grade, load, angle other factors. A met...

Blank cartridge guns are devices that discharge sound and gas, but no bullet or shot. These devices are very similar to real guns in the form of their external design and the sound generated during their firing. Although it is widely held in society that these devices are harmless, reports from Turkey and the world have shown that these guns are not entirely innocent. Herein, we present a 26-ye...
