LVOA
The LVOA is an AR-15–style rifle designed by War Sport Industries and currently manufactured by ZRODelta. The LVOA is semi automatic, with multiple variants, such as the LVOA-S and the later LVOA-C and LVOA-SP. History War Sport Industries developed the rifle as its option for "Low Visibility Operation / Applications for the modern warfighter", in an effort to provide a relevant response to current unconventional warfare environments and as a solution to short barreled rifles for close quarters combat. In late 2010, Warsport reached out to John Boyette from Trace Armory Group to help study the philosophy behind short barreled rifles, and how they were going to go about designing and creating a new solution to the short barreled rifle intended for close quarters combat. By 2012, Warsport had a working prototype of the LVOA rail that was intended to reduce muzzle flash and to manage the unspent gas. The rifle was shown off at SHOT Show of 2013 after Warsport had a full prototype a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
AR-15–style Rifle
An AR-15–style rifle is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on or similar to the Colt AR-15 design. The Colt model removed the selective fire feature of its predecessor, the original ArmaLite AR-15, which is a scaled-down derivative of the AR-10 design (by Eugene Stoner). It is closely related to the military M16 rifle. ArmaLite sold the patent and trademarks for both to Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1959 after the military rejected the design in favor of the M14. After most of the patents for the Colt AR-15 expired in 1977, many firearm manufacturers began to produce copies of the rifle under various names. While the patents are expired, Colt has retained the trademark to the ''AR-15'' name and is the sole manufacturer able to label their firearms as such. From 1994 to 2004, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban restricted the sale of the Colt AR-15 and some derivatives in the United States, although it did not affect rifles with fewer listed features. After the phrase "mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
223 Wylde Chamber
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious and cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Wildlands
Wilderness or wildlands (usually in the plural) are Earth's natural environments that have not been significantly modified by human activity, or any nonurbanized land not under extensive agricultural cultivation. The term has traditionally referred to terrestrial environments, though growing attention is being placed on marine wilderness. Recent maps of wilderness suggest it covers roughly one-quarter of Earth's terrestrial surface, but is being rapidly degraded by human activity. Even less wilderness remains in the ocean, with only 13.2% free from intense human activity. Some governments establish protection for wilderness areas by law to not only preserve what already exists, but also to promote and advance a natural expression and development. These can be set up in preserves, conservation preserves, national forests, national parks and even in urban areas along rivers, gulches or otherwise undeveloped areas. Often these areas are considered important for the survival ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
