In Ancient China many advancements in weaponry were made due to one of the most important inventions in China’s history‚ Gunpowder. The Ancient Chinese made gunpowder by mixing certain fuels and ores could explode if mixed in the right proportions and heated.

In addition to the control of history and information‚ the use of advanced technology by the Party plays a big role in the construction of the book 1984.

The M163 Vulcan was a full-tracked armored personnel carrier that had “great cross country mobility and a mounted turret with a 6-barrel M61 Vulcan Gatling cannon that fired 20-mm high explosive and armor piercing projectiles” (Laur and Llanso 195). The crew consisted of four to six members depending on combat situations. Rather than serving its main purpose to provide forward air defense against low flying aircraft‚ it provided security as a soldier foot patrol escort

The understanding of blood spatter patterns is not a widely recognized forensic practice. Bloodstain pattern interpretation (BPI) is commonly used in murder investigations‚ but could be utilized in everything from simple assault to mass murders if the number of trained professionals increased. BPI can reveal critical information into reinventing a given crime scene. Everything from the number of blows‚ stabs or shots a victim was given‚ the movement that was undergone by the victim and assailant

Achievement standard 90963 Basic anatomy: During the activity of kicking a football a person will use most of the muscles and joints in their body to perform the movement. Many of these muscles and joints may only play a small role in the movement but will affect the overall quality of the kick. Because of the amount of muscles and joints used in the kick I have chosen to only discuss the most important to the skill of each to discus. The three main joints used to perform a kick in football are

bullet was shot. Ballistic scientists can. Ballistics is the study of any projectile used as a weapon. This can certainly make or break a case involving a gun.

The definition of ballistics is very simple‚ the study of projectiles from a weapon‚ mainly referring to bullets out of a gun. That is a dulled

ball and a separate powder charge. The gun used a fixed configuration shell. Which means the projectile and powder charge were together in the same shell. This meant the loading and firing of the French 75mm could be done with one man instead of the normal 3 people required. This also cut down reload time and allowed for more rounds to be fired. Finally the shells were more stable and allowed more range. The third improvement of French 75mm was the barrel had rifling groves‚ which allowed the
