Researchers in Arizona say they have discovered the oldest gun in the U.S., a cannon used during the first European expedition across the Southwest.
The MK3A2 was used to clear bunkers by detonating in confined spaces where blast pressure would reverberate off the walls. However, the exterior coating of the MK3A2 contained up to 50% asbestos, which can be hazardous to troops when inhaled. The M67, introduced in 1968, was left as the only anti-personnel grenade in the inventory.
The decision whether to construct a tunnel using a TBM or using a drill and blast method includes a number of factors. Tunnel length is a key issue that needs to be addressed because large TBMs for a rock tunnel have a high capital cost, but because they are usually quicker than a drill and blast tunnel the price per metre of tunnel is lower.

The M795 is a 155 mm high-fragmentation, steel (HF1)-body projectile, filled with 10.8 kilograms (23.8 lb) of TNT.It weighs approximately 47 kilograms (103 lb). The high-fragmentation steel body is encircled by a gilding metal rotating band, making it compatible with 3W through 8S (M3A1 through M203A1) zone propelling charges across all current 155 mm howitzers.
A cannon fragment dating from the Revolutionary War was recently discovered not far from where it was originally forged nearly 250 years ago.
The blast from such an explosion would destroy life in a wide area. The size of this area is difficult to estimate, but it will probably cover the centre of a big city." Edgar Sengier, a director of Shinkolobwe Mine in the Congo which produced by far the highest quality uranium ore in the world, had become aware of uranium's possible use in a ...
Direct reduction is theoretically well-suited to the use of ores that are less compatible with blast furnaces (such as fine ores that clog furnaces), which are less expensive. It also requires less capital, making it a viable alternative to the two tried-and-tested methods of electric furnaces and blast furnaces. [20]
The high inflation of the post-pandemic era has made everything more expensive, so it's likely you really are spending more on groceries than you used to. However, it's also possible that you're...
