https://lnkd.in/eAKbjvtT The article discusses the advancements in military technology during World War II, highlighting the development of the M24 Chaffee light tank. It begins by contrasting the technology in 1939 with the innovations by 1945. The M3 Stuart, an earlier American tank model, was quickly outdated due to its weak 37mm cannon and flat armor, making it vulnerable to German weapons. By 1943, there was a realization for improvement, leading to the development of the M24 Chaffee, which featured enhanced armor, a powerful 75mm gun, and better suspension for improved combat performance. The M24 Chaffee tank was developed as a result of combat experiences, replacing outdated elements with modern improvements, particularly focusing on mobility, armor sloping, and firepower. It retained the Cadillac engine from the M3 Stuart but included a torsion bar suspension system for better handling. The tank's main lightweight 75mm gun, evolved from an aircraft-mounted model, offered significant offensive capabilities, aligning the Chaffee with even the heavier Sherman tanks. Its enhanced design, including sloped armor, allowed for better deflection of enemy fire, making it a formidable light tank in the battlefield. The M24 saw limited but crucial action during World War II, entering service in the late stages of the war, notably during the Battle of the Bulge. Despite not being as resilient as heavier tanks, its speed and agility were vital for reconnaissance missions. Post-war, the Chaffee was used in various conflicts like the Korean War and in supporting French forces during the First Indochina War, although it showed limitations against more modern tanks. Despite these issues, the Chaffee was recognized as an effective and influential light tank during its era, leaving a legacy as an integral part of the U.S. armored forces’ evolution.

Meet Charlie G The Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle has been a staple in infantry arsenals since its inception in the late 1940s. Developed by Saab, the system has evolved through multiple versions, with the M4 being the latest and most advanced iteration. Specifications of the M4: Weight: 6.6 kg (14.6 lbs) Length: 950 mm (37.4 in) Caliber: 84 mm Range: Effective: Up to 1,000 meters (1,093 yards) Maximum: 2,000 meters (2,187 yards) Rate of Fire: 6 rounds per minute Ammunition Compatibility: Anti-armor, anti-structure, multi-role, anti-personnel, smoke, and illumination rounds Sight Systems: Integrated Picatinny rail compatible with advanced optics, including telescopic, red dot, and thermal sights Design Features: Lightweight construction with carbon fiber components, ergonomic adjustments for improved handling, and a shot counter for maintenance tracking The Carl Gustaf M4 is a testament to Saab's commitment to innovation and reliability, providing military forces worldwide with a versatile and powerful support weapon. Its continued evolution and adoption by over 40 countries underscore its significance in modern warfare.

The BERETTA M9A3 series is a modern iteration of the iconic Beretta M9, which has been a standard sidearm for the U.S. military for decades. In response to military feedback, Beretta has developed the latest addition to the M9 family, the M9A3 9mm pistol. The M9A3 incorporates all the essential features modern combat professionals need for demanding environments delivering superior reliability and versatility. The M9A3 introduces several enhancements, including design and material, resulting in increased modularity, reliability, durability, and ergonomics. For example, the sand-resistant magazines ensure reliable performance even in harsh, sandy environments. The gun's high-visibility, three-dot sight system is also a valuable feature, as it provides better accuracy in low-light conditions. An integral 3-slot Picatinny rail under the barrel enables the attachment of lights, lasers, and other accessories. Also, the Beretta M9A3 slide can be converted from “FS” to “G” mode, changing the safety/de-cocker into a de-cocker-only operation.

A personal project of mine utilized clips available on the internet; I redid the sound design and everything.

2025 Experiment: We're adding these types of picture posts in your LinkedIn feed starting in, um, well, now. It's another way for us to selectively highlight defense tech happenings that might otherwise get lost in the noise. Love it? hate it? Let us know and we'll decide at the end of January whether to keep it or kill it. Here's what it'll look like ?? \\\ Austria is buying 12 Leonardo M-346FA jets. They will serve a training and air defense role. The M-346FA variants have 7 external hardpoints for weapons, targeting pods, and even a forthcoming gun pod. Link: https://lnkd.in/gpQpmXyT

Popular is oft conflated with quality. This can be particularly jarring when encountering people who think whatever noises Ted Nugent or Kid Rock emit is “music”. But it also applies to #Firearms. ? Seeing not only NATO countries such as #France & #Germany, but also #NewZealand, give up on their service rifle designs & adopt AR-15/M-16 based #Weapons, is a quite swan song for other post-WWII weapon designs such as the Galil, STEYR ARMS GmbH AUG, Heckler & Koch GmbH HK33/53, & FAMAS (sorry, not baller enough to be able to afford a FAMAS). ? While the civilian market will always flourish with new designs for #Guns, western militaries seem to be consolidating on M16 based weapons. That is, except the US Army, which seems hell bent on giving SIG SAUER, Inc. a #Government #Jobs program to reinvent the battle rifle with a bunch of extra, unproven steps. But I digress. ? I don’t think this consolidation on M16 derived platforms is because the M16 design is the “best”. If we had a Khmer Rouge “Year Zero” restart with guns, I’d argue that the IMI Systems Ltd Galil ACE is a simpler & better design for mass issue as a service rifle. But like with 5.56 as a caliber, the ship for other designs sailed long ago & the argument is essentially over. ? I think the AR’s enduring success is because it’s a fully mature design; accessories, parts, magazines, etc are ubiquitous; and the manual of arms is fairly simple & well known.

It might look like this weapon came out of a movie or videogame, but back in 2015, DRDC and Colt Canada developed this integrated assault rifle concept for the Canadian Armed Forces. Their goal was to create a multi-role platform that provided more firepower, improved accuracy, and smart integration of accessories that connected to command-and-control networks. DRDC scientists rose to the challenge and worked with advanced material and electronic component technologies to test ergonomics, lightweight case telescoped ammunition, automatic target detection and data-sharing, and assisted target engagement (like a real world “aim-assist”). Though this rifle never made it past the prototype stage, it provided some important lessons and data to help move forward the Small Arms Modernization project, which successfully delivered on its other objectives like the C-22 Pistol, C-21 Sharpshooter Rifle, and C-19 Ranger Rifle.
