Carbon 15 rifles have carbon fiber upper and lower receivers which are lighter than the standard aluminum and steel construction of AR-15 receivers. Carbon 15 rifles are generally chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO/.223 Remington, [4] although Bushmaster also produced 9×19mm Parabellum versions of the pistol and carbine. [citation needed]
After Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company purchase of the rights and intellectual property to the AR-10 and AR-15 rifles from Armalite in late 1959, Colt's embarked on a research and development program to create variations of the AR platform that evolved into the CAR-15 family of firearms.
CFSMC, or Carbon Fiber Sheet Molding Compound (also known as CSMC or CF-SMC), is a ready to mold carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite material used in compression molding. While traditional SMC utilizes chopped glass fibers in a polymer resin, CFSMC utilizes chopped carbon fibers. The length and distribution of the carbon fibers is more ...
In 2018, Tsinghua University, Beijing, released their findings where they have enhanced carbon nanotubes to now withstand the weight of over 800 tonnes, requiring just 1 of material. [13] The scientific nanotechnology team hinted at aerospace, and armour boosting applications, showing promise for defence related nano-weapons. [ 14 ]
Controversially, in 2006, cricket bats with a thin carbon-fiber layer on the back were introduced and used in competitive matches by high-profile players including Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. The carbon fiber was claimed to merely increase the durability of the bats, but it was banned from all first-class matches by the ICC in 2007. [37]
The coatings are made of several different substances, including low-cost metals, rare earths, carbon fiber, silver, and diamonds that have been processed to fine sheens and tailored against specific laser weapons. China is developing anti-laser defenses because protection against them is considered far cheaper than creating competing laser ...
