Internally, the explosive – initially ammonal but later approximately 170 g (6.0 oz) of trinitrotoluene filling [3] – was connected to a detonator, and a pull cord ran from the detonator down the length of the hollow handle, emerging from the base. To use it, a soldier would pull the string downwards, dragging a rough steel rod through the ...
Milliradian adjustment is commonly used as a unit for clicks in the mechanical adjustment knobs (turrets) of iron and scope sights both in the military and civilian shooting sports. New shooters are often explained the principle of subtensions in order to understand that a milliradian is an angular measurement.
Laid out line charge being used to destroy surplus ammunition. Systems in current use include the British Python minefield breaching system, which can clear a 7.3-metre (24 ft) wide by 180–200-metre (590–660 ft) long path, and the American M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge, which can clear an 8 m wide by 100 m long path.

To adjust a 1 ⁄ 4 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 x 4 = 12 clicks down and 1.5 × 4 = 6 clicks right; To adjust a 1 ⁄ 8 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 x 8 = 24 clicks down and 1.5 × 8 = 12 clicks right; Comparison of minute of arc (MOA) and milliradian (mrad).

Hawley threatened to “use every procedural means at my disposal to make it painful” if he didn’t get his way on the NDAA. But his strategy hardly made a dent.
It must weigh less than 3.5 pounds (1.6 kilograms) It must throw enough fragments so that at a range of 55 yards (50 m) it achieves a 100 percent strike rate on a 1.3 square feet (0.12 m 2) target (man-sized) The fragment area must not be more than 8 feet (2.4 m) high and no more than 60 degrees wide
Two adjustment knobs are used to secure the base to the receiver. A bore-sighting device is usually used to roughly zero the sight before a first-time shooter takes it to the range. Adjustments come in 0.25-mil clicks (one mil equals 10 cm at a range of 100 m, so each click adjusts the sight by 2.5 cm at 100 m). Sighting in a C79 sight is ...
