From the very earliest days of organized warfare, combatants have wanted to develop weapons with more firepower. This has inevitably led to a wide variety of repeating weapons, capable of a degree of sustained fire without reloading. Based largely upon new research, this book explores the history of repeating and multi-fire weapons, beginning with the Chinese repeating crossbow in the 4th century BCE, and ending with the world's most common firearm, the Kalashnikov AK-47. The author describes the potency of the machine gun in World War I, the development of the semiautomatic pistol and the role of the submachine gun in improving the effectiveness of the infantryman.
Greater Balochistan region was remotely located far away from Kingdom of the Persia in the west and equally at a distance from Indian princely states in the east. In present time Balochistan, a part of Greater Balochistan is now disputed remote territory, illegally annexed by Pakistan, lies between Sindh province of Pakistan and the western international border of Iran. The whole region was populated most heavily by ethnic Baloch people and thus named this region Balochistan.

A voice which wants to save the Baloch culture, people and homeland from Pakistan’s army and its leadership.

침팬지들 사이에서 물체를 무기로 사용하는 것이 관찰되어 초기 인류가 일찍이 5 백만년 전에 무기를 사용했다는 추측을 불러 일으켰습니다. 그러나 나무로 된 곤봉, 창, 형태가없는 돌은 모호한 기록을 남겼을 것이기 때문에 물리적 증거로는 확인할 수 없습니다. 가장 초기에 발견 된 모호하지 않은 무기는 Schöningen 창으로, 300,000 년 이상 거슬러 올라가는 8 개의 나무 투척 창입니다. 초기의 고대 무기는 후기 신석기 시대 도구의 진화 적 개선 이었지만 재료와 제작 기술의 상당한 개선으로 군사 기술의 일련의 혁명이 일어났습...

Бронза заменила камень в оружии. исторически меч развился в бронзовом веке, эволюционировав от кинжала; самые ранние экземпляры датируются примерно 1600 годом до нашей эры. меч позднего железного века оставался довольно коротким и без перекрестья. спата, в том виде, в каком она была разработана в позднеримской армии, стала предшественницей европейского меча средневековья, сначала...
Brąz zastąpił kamień w broni. Historycznie rzecz biorąc, miecz powstał w epoce brązu, ewoluując od sztyletu; najwcześniejsze okazy pochodzą z około 1600 roku pne. Późniejszy miecz z epoki żelaza pozostał dość krótki i bez jelca. Spatha, tak jak rozwinęła się w późnorzymskiej armii, stała się poprzednikiem europejskiego miecza średniowiecza, początkowo przyjętego jako, i dopiero w późnym średniowieczu, rozwinął się w klasyczny miecz uzbrojony z jelcem. Miecze z wczesnej epoki żelaza znacznie różniły się od późniejszych mieczy stalowych. Były raczej utwardzane przez zgniot, a nie hartowane, co sprawiało, że były mniej więcej takie same lub tylko nieznacznie lepsze pod względem wytrzymałości i twardości do wcześniejszych mieczy z brązu. Oznaczało to, że podczas użytkowania nadal mogły zostać wygięte. Jednak łatwiejsza produkcjaa większa dostępność surowca pozwoliła na znacznie większą skalę produkcji.
Използването на предмети като оръжие е наблюдавано сред шимпанзетата, което води до спекулации, че ранните хоминиди са използвали оръжия още преди пет милиона години. това обаче не може да бъде потвърдено с помощта на веществени доказателства, тъй като дървени тояги, копия и неоформени камъни биха оставили неясен запис. най-ранните недвусмислени оръжия, които могат да бъдат наме...
Хронологичните рамки на настоящето изследване са формирани от дългогодишното царуване на Филип V Македонски (221 – 179 г. пр.Хр.), чиито взаимоотношения с траките – в контекста на амбициите на Птолемеите, Селевкидите и навлизането на римляните на Балканите – не са получили достатъчно внимание в проучванията на съвременните учени. Представлявайки опит за запълване на тази съществен...
