Ceramic ammunition and "Gyrojet" projectiles

Using ceramic materials is very easy to make ammunition, what is extremely dangerous.  Below this text is a film what shotgun makes to the bulletproof vest if it is loaded by glass projectiles. Those projectiles would penetrate to the bulletproof vest because ceramic materials would not be elastic, and because they would be stiff, they would penetrate to the target very much better than metal bullets. That's why glass or stone ammunition can be very dangerous for people, who are using bulletproof vest. But There have also been tested bullets what are made of granite or other stones.


Those ceramic bullets just formulate the shape of the bullet, by using turning lathe. In that film is used shotgun and ammunition, what is made of standard glass. But this type of ammunition could be more dangerous if the used material would be bulletproof glass and the weapon more effective like Barrett 50. BMG, what has one of the most powerful ammunition in the world. Also, those glass bullets can be covered by using Chromium or other metal, what allows it to penetrate more effectively. The rocket pistols like "Gyrojet" seemed ineffective because they needed special rounds.


The reason for creating "Gyrojet" was that special forces needed the silent weapon, what can be used in elimination operations, but that special ammunition made those weapons too expensive for production. And the silenced rifles replaced those pistols and rifles. But today is claims that there would be special hybrid-ammunition for rifles, what has rockets inside the cartridge. They can be shot by normal military rifles, but the ammunition would involve rocket, what flies from the shell. When we are thinking about this kind of ammunition, we might guess how dangerous they are. I don't know how effective those rocket bullets are, but ceramic bullets are the very risky thing if they are in the wrong hands.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
