The GSh-18 Pistol can fire a very hot (similar to 9mm +P+) 9mm Luger round loaded with an AP bullet called the 9mm PBP. It has the capability to punch holes through 8mm of steel or a Class III bulletproof vest at 20 meters. This video (from RIAN) shows off its capabilities:
Defense Review wrote about the pistol recently.
H/T: Reddit
Sven has blogged about recent developments and challenges in working out a snipers’ location from the sound generated by the sniper rifle.
The most successful technical principle in use is apparently based on triangulating the sonic boom of rifle bullets. The technology is relatively similar to the artillery sound ranging since about 1916, radio direction finding, radar receiver, sonar receiver and passive radar warning/direction finding.

A big thanks to my brother who moderated the comments. I would not have been able to turn on auto-moderation because of the sheer amount of spam the blog has been getting over the past week.
If you have emailed me while I was away, expect a delay in getting a reply. My inbox is packed with emails wanting a reply.
Random Thought: I was shooting earlier today … I can never decide if I like the taste of the mucous, burnt power and lead that collects at the back of my throat when shooting. I think overall I enjoy the “nostalgic” taste. It brings back memories of other times I have been shooting and those are usually good memories.
No posts till I get back.
Trijicon have partnered with FLIR Systems, night vision expects, to develop a very compact thermal imager for ACOG scopes. The ATWS or Advanced Thermal Weapon Sight uses a 640×480 pixel uncooled camera.
While it is compact it is not light, weighing in at 1.5 lbs.
This video shows a guy shooting a steel spinner target up close. He is hit by a ricocheted .223 bullet hitting him in the arm.
… he then goes on to show off the stitching kits he stole form the hospital / clinic that sewed his arm up.
Many thanks to Jay for emailing me the video.
Sport-Systeme Dittrich, who manufacturer semi-automatic reproductions of German WWII weapons, have produced three alternative history versions of the famous Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) assault rifle. These rifles explore how the StG44 may have developed if Germany had won the war. Legendary photographer and editor-in-chief of Bron i Amunicja Remigiusz Wilk (REMOV) took these photos at IWA 2009, an outdoor expo in held in Germany, and emailed them to me.
