...confrontation between Sumer(Iraq) and Elam(Iran) broke out near the modern Basra. From that point on countries would start to build up their military forces and weaponry. New weapons can dramatically change the face of war. Chariots were invented in the year 2000 BC, chariots were pulled by animals like the endangered Onager, Ox, Donkey’s but were later pulled by the horse. The chariot was a fast weapon, while one man would control the chariot and a second man would shoot arrows at the enemy soldiers. These became crucial to several governments including the New Egyptian Kingdom and the Shang Dynasty. Some military unit types/technology invented or developed in the ancient world were: * Slinger (A Slinger was a projectile weapon, it was usually used to throw blunt projectiles such as stone, clay or lead its can also be called the Shepherd’s sling) * Hoplites (Hoplites were citizen-soldiers of Ancient...

...Forensic Significance of Radiography in Evaluation of Gunshot Wounds to the Spine Samantha Lawson Introduction Gunshot wounds cases are continuing to increase across the country. One of the most severe cases of gunshot wounds is the spinal injuries as a result of penetration of bullet fragments towards the spinal column. Determining the projectile of the bullet and its position is vital for physicians to treat such an injury. Forensic Radiography is a technique that can be used in medical facilities to determine the exact position of the bullet fragments. Forensic Radiography is quite useful in the medical profession. Understanding the right type of radiography is vital in ensuring that physicians are able to make sound decisions in treating patients with spinal injuries as a...

...Lab # 111 “Projectile Motion” Objectives : The purpose of this lab is to understand projectile motion in two dimensions and apply linear motion equations to solve the problem. Also to predict where a given size bullet to be placed in horizontal direction to leaving table. In addition to that measure the range of projectile leaving table at an angle, and use the value to predict where the projectile bullet to strike at floor. Theory : To predict where bullet will land on the floor when lunched from the mini launcher from a table at an angle, but to do that first we need to determine the velocity of the bullet and to determine by launching the bullet horizontally from the table and measuring the vertical and horizontal distances through distance that the bullet travels. Then the initial velocity can be used to calculate where the bullet will land when the bullet lunched from the mini launcher at an angle. Horizontally lunched bullet at θ=0 off a table with an initial speed, vo, the horizontal distance travelled by the bullet and the vertical distance of the bullet drop in time t describe: x= v0t (1) y=v0yt+12gt2 (2) Now we can determine the initial velocity of the bullet by measuring x and y. where y = 0, therefore, the time of the bullet can be found by equation: t= 2yg, Where g = 9.8 (3) Now, to guess the range of the bullet, x, at and angle, θ, above horizontal, we guess the time of the bullet using vertical motion equation: 12gt2-(v0sinθ)t-H=0...

As the male is walking down the street a cop pull up in his automobile and starts to question the young male. The cop makes very racist remarks and assumes the male is a trouble maker based on the color of his skin. The male, instead of letting it go and remain respectful to the officer, argues back with him and continues to be disrespectful and rude. This scenario is similar to a scene of interpersonal conflict in the film “Crash” of a Persian man being treated differently because of the color of his skin and the way he looks. In the film “Crash” a Persian man named Farhad and his daughter named Dorri are in a gun store looking to buy a gun for protection, for they too own a store and fear getting robbed and killed. While Farhad and Dorri are in the store trying to decide which gun to buy the gun store owner, who remained nameless in the film, assumes they are Arabs and do not want to sell Farhad the gun. In assuming this the gun store owner makes remarks that...

(Last Name, Year) Ballistic Evidence. When removing bullets from a do not try to dig the bullet out with your fingers or forceps, instead remove it by cutting out the portion of material in which the bullet is embedded, then send the material cutting containing the bullet to a laboratory. When handling a bullet that is in a deceased person, ask the doctor not to use regular forceps, instead to use his fingers, or rubber tipped forceps to preserve any evidence that may be present. Bullet with blood on them should be washed in running water without scrubbing, but do no wash the projectile if trace evidence could be present in a way that could occur with ricochet. After washing the bullet it is imperative that you let it dry prior to packaging it, you can dry the projective by blotting, not rolling, a soft dry facial or toilet tissue. Never seal a bloody or wet bullet in air tight packaging as this may destroy any evidence present on the bullet, instead wrap in a soft tissue paper and seal in a labeled paper envelope or box. Make sure to package each bullet separately, and do not mark the bullet or allow it to be marked, mark the sealed container with full description of the bullet and all pertinent data, you may also wish to sketch the bullet for your records, if any further consultation is needed on this manor contact...

...Gun control has been a hotly debated issue for decades in America. There are the people who think that guns should be more restricted or just completely outlawed and there are the people who believe that our access to weapons should remain the way it has been ever since the constitution was written. The second amendment in the Bill of Rights is our “right to bear arms” amendment, if there were more restrictions on guns then that would violate one of our rights. In a way gun control makes sense. To someone who doesn’t think about the matter clearly it would look like the perfect solution to crime. This, however, would not be the case at all. Take Canada for example, they have fairly high restrictions on guns. As a result crime has not decreased at all. In fact, crime has skyrocketed. You might be asking yourself why this is. Well, it makes perfect sense; the people who obey the law are going to give up their guns while the people who don’t care a bit about the law are going to be the only ones who have guns. They can easily break into a house and steal anything they want because they know that the law-abiding people who live inside that house aren’t going to be able to defend themselves. In America however if someone breaks into a house there is always that possibility that they could wind up getting shot. A majority people think the best solution is to “just take away their guns.” However, this has been proven not to work. England banned all guns in 1997 and as a result...

...First person Shooter Games First Person Shooter Games in Real Life Jason Campbell English 121 Deborah Zeringue 6/4/12 First Person Shooter Games in Real Life Shooter games have been around since man made the first projectile weapons, and his children tried to emulate the hunt. From running around with sticks, pretending to shoot the other kids, to the more evolved forms we have today. Today there are a variety of these types of games, though mainly these games are found on entertainment consoles. To experience these types of games for yourself in real life, without the controller, there are two to choose from, Airsoft or Paintball, and while similar, have many key differences, such as equipment used, projectiles, and game formats. Airsoft and paintball both have very similar game formats, and type of equipment used. Paintball utilizes a weapon called a “marker” to propel a paint filled gelatin shell ball using compressed air or CO2, while an airsoft weapon, called a “replica”, uses battery power to fire a 6mm plastic BB from a very realistic looking weapon. Projectiles fired from the paintball marker are used to hit the other players and mark them with paint, and when they are hit, they are out of that current game by being called “dead”. The same goes with airsoft as well, but as there is no paint, it relies on the “honor system” or to call out when you have been hit. The team that still has players considered...

...Experiment 4 Projectile Motion Introduction We examined projectile motion by observing a ball rolling down then leaving the ramp, thus becoming a projectile with a horizontal initial velocity. We measured the horizontal initial velocity using the photogate and computer. We measured the horizontal and vertical distances that the projectile traveled from the end of the ramp to when it hit the floor my using a meter stick to measure Experimental Set-Up In our experiment, we used the following: ramp, photogate, steal ball, plumb bob, meter stick, and vernier caliper. Experimental Procedure 1.At the edge of our lab table, we prepared the ramp. 2.Exactly below the launch point, we marked a point on the floor by using the plumb bob. 3.We determined the vertical distance that the ball fell (mm) from when it was launched from the ramp and fell on the floor. We then entered this in our data table. 4.We positioned a piece of paper on the floor to where the ball would land. We put the carbon paper above the paper and taped them to the floor. 5.We fixed the photogate so the ball rolled out and the light beam was blocked and unblocked. The photogate was plugged into the LabPro Dig/Sonic1 port. 6.We opened up the One Gate Timing from the Logger Pro folder. 7.We measured the diameter of the ball with the vernier caliper and recorded it in the computer so that it could calculate the ball’s launch velocity. 8.We launched the ball from a specific height from the ramp so that the ball...

...Week 2 Thought Paper CJE4610 8/31/14 A case starts the moment the call is received. In many cases there is evidence or clues on the call itself. One of the things you can get from the call is a description of the incident, suspect information, and other various clues and information. Then when you get on scene your real investigation will begin. You may or may not have real life suspects or victims on scene. Once you get on scene you have to start processing information and the scene itself. You never know what clues you will get when you show up on scene. There are different types of evidence to collect when you process a scene. There is trace evidence, which includes hairs, fibers, glass and soil. The second is impression evidence, which includes fingerprints left on objects, and also palms, tires and cloth. The next kind of evidence is biological to include blood, teeth and skeletal remains. The fourth kind of evidence is firearms and weapons including the guns and ammunition. The last is probably the one that most people forget or disregard, are documents to include contracts, currency, passports, and other documents. In the case that was presented on page 126 there was a lot of evidence to be processed. The call originated as a disturbance from neighbors. The officers arrived and discovered a very disrupted house. From the pictures, there were obvious signs of a struggle with in the residence. So the description stated that when the officer arrived no one...

...that you must follow in air rifle firing activities. RULES FOR SAFE GUN HANDLING There are three basic rules that are the foundation for the safe handling and shooting of all types of guns. These rules fully apply to the air rifles that are used in JROTC marksmanship programs. These fundamental safety rules focus on three key parts of every gun that control when and where the gun can be fired. Those parts are the MUZZLE, ACTION, and TRIGGER. Everyone should know these basic parts of a gun, whether or not they ever will be involved in target shooting, so that they can practice the rules for safe gun handling any time they are in a situation where a gun is present. • MUZZLE. The forward end of the barrel. The point where the pellet or projectile leaves the barrel when the gun is fired. A gun is aimed by pointing its muzzle at the target. ACTION. The working mechanism of the gun. Gun actions typically have a bolt or lever that is used to open and close the action so that the gun can be loaded and unloaded. TRIGGER. The trigger is part of the action or working mechanism of the gun. The trigger is a lever that projects out of the bottom of the gun. A trigger guard protects the trigger. After a gun is loaded and the action is closed, the gun is fired by pulling the trigger. Trigger Action action muzzle safety trigger CBI INTRODUCTION The sport of target rifle shooting is one of the safest of all youth sports. In 104 years of Olympic shooting, there has never been an accidental...

...We know that Jake runs a Delicatessen store in a high-crime section of the city. We know that he was robbed eight times in one year. We know that he obtained a permit and bought a pistol. We also know that a man came into the store brandishing a knife asking him for all the money in the cash register. We know that Jake moved towards the register and instead of opening it, he went for his weapon and without warning opened fire hitting the robber. What we don’t know if the permit was obtained legally. He could have gotten the permit by not going through the proper channels making him discharging his weapon illegally. What we don’t know if Jake was premeditated in his actions. Jake has been robbed multiple times and he may have believed the next time there’s an encounter he’s going to discharge his gun and ask questions later. Jake’s action wasn’t ethical, the fact that he pulled his weapon and point blank shot a person at point blank range isn’t justifiable. It’s understandable that he has been victimized many times in one year but that doesn’t give him a right to pull the trigger and shooting six times at that. He didn’t give the robber a warning shot or told him that he will pull the trigger if he doesn’t put his knife down. Just the simple fact that the robber was carrying knife he should’ve considered not shooting. Jake could’ve handle it by telling warning the robber to stop or he’ll shoot. There was no warning and I believe Jake had the upper hand in this scenario...

...Second Draft Two-hundred fifty feet below the sea, I stomp. I stomp wearing a dim green tank strapped horizontally across my chest with a regulator in my mouth As I am readjusting my full face mask, I see a flurry of movement ahead of me in the thick kelp forest. This forest, unlike other forests, is completely submerged beneath the sea. Because of the depth, the lack of sunlight allows me only twenty feet of vision in any direction. I slowly marched into the green forest, unstrapping my black harpoon gun from my back. As I penetrated the thick green brush, I marveled at the diversity of baitfish swimming through the weeds. This was a good sign of large fish within the kelp. My purpose for the hunt was to simply fill my stomach. Due to certain unknown underwater disturbances, all the fish in the surrounding area left. Because of this, I haven’t eaten in about 2 days. With a growling stomach, I went deeper into the thick kelp going slower as to not to spur any activity. Within a second of my slower advances, the seaweed parted showing a large school of Goliath Grouper swimming toward me. This large fish has short spikes on its six foot long spine and a large mouth. The goliath school included about fifty fish. In order to actually be able to retrieve one, I shouldered my harpoon gun and aimed at the smallest one. Even though he was the runt of the pack, it was still large enough to give me trouble. Knowing this fact, I aimed at the right flank of the fish and slowly pulled...

...C.E.R, How Does The Magnet Cannon Work? - Jack McWilliams The contact force from ball ‘d’ pushes ball ‘e’ to fire, which causes the magnet cannon to fire. In our physics unit, we worked with magnet cannons and free - body diagrams. A magnet cannon is a chain of metal balls that are all connected to the magnet while ball ‘a’ shoots at the magnet which makes ball ‘e’ shoot out with a huge amount of force. We used a slow motion camera to experiment what happens to the rest of the balls when ball ‘a’ fires. When we replayed the footage, we saw that ball ‘d’ pushed out after ball ‘e’ fired. The reason this happened is because the contact force of ball ‘a’ and the magnet pushed all of the other balls and eventually came to ball ‘d’ and ‘e’. All of the balls moved a lot more to make ball ‘e’ shoot out fast and for ball ‘d’ to go away from the magnet. This happens because when ball ‘e’ shoots out, the ball has to have some way of contact force going from each ball. So when ball ‘e’ shot out, ball ‘d’ did not have enough magnetic pull when the magnet shot out and it came out for less than a millisecond and then came back to the magnet. We also experimented what would happen if we used people for the magnet and balls. We saw that when I pushed on Enzo, he pushed on the person in front of him, then the other person then the other person until it came to Jack and pushed him away. Besides the fact that Jack got pushed out, we saw that Austin got pushed out after Jack shot out of the human...

...civilian court cases and regulatory proceedings. Ever since my junior year in high school I have been very interested in what crime scene investigators do. Inspired by the forensics class I took I learned that although their job takes a lot of patience and thinking, it would seem like the perfect job for me. Not knowing everything about this area, entering college allowed me to broaden my horizons. My major was Forensic Science but is now and remains Criminal Justice as I decided to branch out with a minor in Computer Forensics. Continuing to get more familiar with my minor I learned that within forensics there are technicians that work specifically with guns. This area is called ballistics; the scientific study of the characteristics of projectiles, such as bullets or missiles, and the way they move in flight. (Dictionary.com, 2012) Needless to say I had absolutely no idea of the specifics of a Forensic Ballistics Expert. After doing some research I have found significant information such as the qualifications, their salary, examples of the progression within the system and etc. The basic qualifications would be outstanding observation and...

...A projectile is a body in free fall that is subject only to the forces of gravity (9.81ms‾²) and air resistance (Webster). It was Galileo who first accurately described projectile motion. He showed that it could be understood by analyzing the horizontal and vertical components separately. No one had done this prior to Galileo. People use to think that when something is shot in the air it goes in the air and some how hit something and explode, before Galileo which followed largely Aristotelian lines but incorporating a later theory of "impetus," which maintained that an object shot from a cannon, for example, followed a straight line until it "lost its impetus," at which point it fell abruptly to the ground. Later, simply by more careful observation, it was realized that projectiles actually follow a curved path. Yet no one knew what that path was, until Galileo. There was yet another brilliant insight that led Galileo to his most astounding conclusion about projectile motion. First of all, he reasoned that a projectile is not only influenced by one motion, but by two. The motion that acts vertically is the force of gravity, and this pulls an object towards the earth at 9.8 meters per second. But while gravity is pulling the object down, the projectile is also moving forward, horizontally at the same time. And this horizontal motion is uniform and constant according to Galileo's principle of inertia. He was indeed able to show that a projectile is controlled by two independent...
