When New Zealand resident and engineer Bruce Simpson, out of necessity, declared himself a freelance cruise missile designer, he started the same path taken by Dr. Gerald Bull. Bull was an engineer who believed ballistics could send satellites into space; his funding cut, he pursued "Project Babylon" in 1980's Iraq and was found dead, presumably killed by foreign agents, presumably Mossad.. The controversy was revisited with a made-for-tv movie.

If you don't have kids, but you're still fascinated by working scale models of tanks, you can always build large scale models of tanks and armor such as this 1/3 scale model of a German tank that shoots shotgun shells as well as 22-caliber pistol rounds. Or if you're not interested in being invited to meet the friendly agents of the BATF, you could satisfy yourself by building model tanks that shoot paintballs, and then fighting them against one another.

It's been alleged that the U. S. military practiced germ warfare during the Korean War. The Brits' "anthrax island" is a testament to their own research into biologic weaponry. So, it's reassuring, then, to know that we both signed the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention in 1972, banning such research and putting it in our misguided past, right? Wrong -- the U. S. military is proposing the development of new biologic weaponry for use by Special Forces. Perhaps it's time to heed the call for weapons inspections of the United States.

In addition to its diameter, many firearm calibers bear suffix names, which typically describe the cartridge's history or original manufacturer. Common examples include the 9mm Parabellum, the .40 S&W (Smith & Wesson), or the .357 SIG (Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft). The .577 Tyrannosaur, on the other hand, was named for its insanely high muzzle energy, which tips the scales at 13,700 joules (by way of comparison, the standard high-powered military/sniper .308 rifle cartridge delivers approximately 4,000 joules). While most of us may never experience the shoulder-jarring impact of shooting a gun designed to stop a charging rhino, we can all still snicker at four hapless guys trying their hand at firing a .577 Tyrannosaur-chambered Hannibal hunting rifle.

At about the same time Commander Randall G. Bowdish wrote Information-Age Psychological Operations, members of the Fourth Psychological Operations Group were working for CNN and NPR. Bowdish writes: "The power of TV and radio to influence behavior has not been lost on military PSYOP personnel. During Operation Uphold Democracy, radio and TV programming was used in a carefully crafted interagency campaign "to prepare Haitians for democracy's restoration and the imminent arrival of US forces." Although it would be imprudent to claim a causal link, the mission was a resounding success-with PSYOP playing a major role."

If you have some social problems like I do, and enjoyed the exploits in 1997 of the two criminals otherwise referred to as the North Hollywood Bank Robbers, you might be interested in some action figures from 21st Century Toys. I'm specifically pointing out the two Kevlar-clad figures in the Villians series, though maybe I'm just imagining the striking similarities. And while I'm on the subject of deadly action figures, obsessive fans of 21st Century Toys figures are pretty big on building dioramas, in which their toys act out training routines, situations with deadly, bloody consequences, or experience time travel (?) Some fans even build website "shrines" to their favorite little soldier toys.

The National Reconnaissance Office has information on all sorts of technology that was pretty neat 25 years ago, but can't tell us what they're doing now. They do have some informative video clips of CORONA, the US's first spy satellite system.

Bored? Hate your neighbors? Haven't incinerated anything recently? Head to Glubco's Weaponry Division and get schematics to build your own O2 Cannon, railgun, and more! Nothing makes a barbeque more exciting than a hot plasma arc.
