The 6.5×52mm Carcano, also known as the 6.5×52mm Parravicini–Carcano or 6.5×52mm Mannlicher–Carcano, is an Italian military 6.5 mm (.268 cal, actually 0.2675 inches) rimless bottle-necked rifle cartridge, developed from 1889 to 1891 and used in the Carcano 1891 rifle and many of its successors. A common synonym in American gun literature ...
In March 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald purchased a "6.5 [mm] Italian carbine", later improperly called a Mannlicher–Carcano (although it uses a Mannlicher-style en bloc clip system), through mail order, for $19.95 (equivalent to $183.90 in 2022.) [37] The advertisement only specified a "6.5 Italian Carbine" and actually shows a Carcano model M91 TS ...
On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated using a 6.5×52mm Carcano Model 38 rifle. In March 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, using the alias "A. Hidell", purchased by mail order the infantry carbine (described by the Warren Commission as a "Mannlicher–Carcano") with a telescopic sight. [1]
For example, for n ≥ 2, the graph consisting of n+1 vertices in a circle is obtained from A n in this way, and the corresponding Coxeter group is the affine Weyl group of A n (the affine symmetric group). For n = 2, this can be pictured as a subgroup of the symmetry group of the standard tiling of the plane by equilateral triangles.
It is the direct descendant of the 6.5×53mmR rimmed cartridge from the 1891 Mannlicher rifle, designed to function smoothly through the Schönauer's rotary magazine. 6.5 mm bullets are typically known for their high ballistic coefficients and sectional density, which gives them great stability in flight, resistance to wind deflection, and high ...
They used the first of a series of 6.5-millimetre (0.26 in) Mannlicher cartridges [1] which became the standard service rifle cartridge for the Romanian Mannlicher M1893 from 1893 to 1938, [2] and the Dutch Geweer M. 95 from 1895 to 1945. [3]
In 1914 D. M. Y. Sommerville used the idea of a geometric motion to establish the idea of distance in hyperbolic geometry when he wrote Elements of Non-Euclidean Geometry. [12] He explains: By a motion or displacement in the general sense is not meant a change of position of a single point or any bounded figure, but a displacement of the whole ...
The dilogarithm along the real axis. In mathematics, the dilogarithm (or Spence's function), denoted as Li 2 (z), is a particular case of the polylogarithm.Two related special functions are referred to as Spence's function, the dilogarithm itself:
