Wax bullets (such as those used in Simunition training) are occasionally used for force-on-force tactical trainings, and pistol dueling with wax bullets used to be a competitive Olympic sport prior to World War I.
Jacketed hollow point (JHP): Soon after the invention of the JSP, Woolwich Arsenal in Great Britain experimented with this design even further by forming a hole or cavity in the nose of the bullet while keeping most of the exterior profile intact.
If you’re in the military, getting new orders that require a move is not uncommon. Follow these four tips for a quick and efficient military move #MilitaryAppreciationMonth
A bullet can be made of virtually anything (see below), but lead is the traditional material of choice because of its high density, malleability, ductility, and low cost of production. However, at speeds greater than 300 m/s (980 ft/s), pure lead will melt more and deposit fouling in rifled bores at an ever-increasing rate. Alloying the lead with a small percentage of tin or antimony can reduce such fouling, but grows less effective as velocities are increased. A cup made of harder metal (e.g. copper), called a gas check, is often placed at the base of a lead bullet to decrease lead deposits by protecting the rear of the bullet against melting when fired at higher pressures, but this too does not work at higher velocities.
We respect new perspectives and experiences, and we value our collaborative ways of working. We are committed to growing and supporting diversity in our workforce and ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to reach their potential.
Manufacturing bullet jackets is similar to making brass cases: there is a series of drawing steps with annealing and washing.[14]
The month code came from a six-letter word that changed with each half year. The order of the letters in the word became the order of the months in that half year. For example, if the code was GM14RXV6 the date portion was M14R. If M stood for the second half of 1957 and the month code word for that six-month period was ORCHID then the date would translate to August 14, 1957.

In the remote Australian Outback, U.S. Marines are participating in a crucial training exercise focused on addressing a significant military vulnerability in the Pacific: supply lines. As tensions with China escalate, particularly regarding Taiwan, the U.S. military is rethinking its logistics strategy in the region. This exercise involves setting up a makeshift refueling station using giant fuel bladders, enabling aircraft to refuel and rearm near the front lines without needing to return to larger, rear bases. Staff Sgt. Gabriel Castillo, who was in charge of the operation, emphasized the complexity of the task, noting the vast amount of equipment and website coordination required to establish these portable gas stations quickly.
