The spatha, a double edged straight sword from 30 to 39 inches long, became the ancestor of the basic medieval blade, the arming sword, carried by medieval knights.

Ten thousand strong soldiers approach in battle formations, no remorse, no pity, no heart for even the innocent, who took no part.

I narrowed the crosshairs around the vehicle and pulled the trigger. The self-guidance system steered the warhead into the target, successfully concluding the virtual training program for the Javelin Missile. This achievement provided immense satisfaction as I had dedicated the past three months towards renovating the…

fire 400-600 rounds of ammunition per minute. The machine gun could fire so many rounds because it had a long metal clip that usually sat in an ammunition box with rounds that fed a fabric belt or a metal strip.
