Did you guys catch in the news that the US Army is purchasing several hundred or more Carl Gustaf Rocket launchers. These will be used in place of the far more expensive javelin system for engaging insurgent positions in hardened shelters.

I believe the thermobaric round is going to be the primary vs. HE or HEAT.

Technically it's a recoilless rifle and believe me, you do NOT want to fire one with a hangover!!!

Guys, I'm tired. Between the medication for mental illness, Tricare refusing to approve Nuvigil for me anymore, and pain and lack of quality sleep from pain of fibromyalgia and ostoarthritis (and a little dog named Winston who has to be let out 1-4 times a night due to his diabetes, I'm just beat. And it goes beyond the physical; I'm emotionally and mentally exhausted.

I'll still do site updates and the occasional special request (I'm doing one now), but they'll come fewer and further between and will probably contain less data. I'll probably skip around and update or put in what new information interests me at that time, instead of slogging through the site updates in order. If you spot an error, it may be fixed immediately...or fixed whenever. That doesn't mean you don't hold my feet to the fire anymore; it just might take a while before I make a correction.

I need to learn to relax and do things just because instead of slogging through the site updates like there a job. With my own illnesses, taking care of my elderly and often erratic mother, and day to day stuff, I have my hands full. So as far as my site, things will slow down considerably.

Paul, as a result of you mentioning fibromyalgia a number of times over the years, my curiosity pushed me to read up on the condition. It seems to me that having it must really suck. And it's such a complicated, hard to pin down syndrome, it seems. It must have taken years and years for you and your physicians to firstly correctly diagnose it, then many more years to find a treatment that works for you. You must be one seriously tough individual to continue caring for your mum and your animals while dealing with your own, seriously debilitating illnesses. You sure have my respect, man.

[Raellus]

No worries, Paul. Take care of yourself. You can rest easy in the knowledge that you've done more than just about anyone else out there for the T2K community at large. We appreciate you. Thanks for everything.

hear , hear

Your site is the motherload Paul.

Take care and get some rest. A happy 2012 to you.

[Legbreaker]

I have a friend with fibromyalgia so I understand the situation you're in. It's a crap way to be with little hope for long term relief.
If you need help with anything Paul, all you've got to do is say the word and virtually anyone here will be there. We all owe you for what you've given us.

What Rae said...thanks for all that you do and take care of yourself.

Hey Paul, noticed you've got the Italian PRC-738 Secure Manpack/Vehicular, PRC-638 Manpack, PRC-447 Manpack, and PRC-677A Manpack/Vehicular Radios listed twice as well.

[pmulcahy11b]

Well, it's been a while, but I did some updates. As usual, check them for correctness of code as well as correctness of info.

And Dang me, I still haven't fixed what Leg spotted on the Radios page!

*
Canadian Wheeled APCs and Finnish Wheeled APCs have been somewhat modified; basically most references to mortar carrier or mortar support versions have been removed from these pages, as they were put into the Mortar Carrier and Mortar Support pages of the countries involved. While I was at it, I took the opportunity to make a few more tweaks in the vehicles on those APC pages.

Chinese Mortar Carriers, Czech Mortar Carriers, Finnish Mortar Carriers, and French Mortar Carriers have been updated, expanded, and tweaked.

In US Antimateriel Rifles A-L, details of the Barrett XM-500's barrel and construction have been added, and some of the stats have been tweaked.

In AR-15 and Clones, the Mossberg Tactical .22 was added.

In Indian Assault Rifles, the IOFB INSAS has been tweaked and has had some information added (and will probably have to be altered again very soon; the INSAS has, in fact, been the subject of mixed opinion on the part of Indian troops, especially special operations troops).

In South Korean Assault Rifles, the Daewoo K-11 Composite Infantry Weapon has been added. The Daewoo K-2 has had some information added.

In Blackpowder Rifles, the Indian Trade Musket, JP Murray Carbine, and the Kentucky Rifle have been added. It's been pointed out to me on Juhlin's forum that there are no links to Blackpowder Rifles on any other page of the site (though you can find them in the PDFs made from the pages on the site), so I have added one on the home page. Further note that the Blackpowder Rifles listed are for the most part modern reproductions of the old muzzle-loaded weapons (some are modern inlines), as the reproductions and replicas are the types of weapons I have the most information about. I've tried to choose the reproductions that are as faithful as possible to the original. (I'm working on beefing up my library with books about real weapons of the period.) Handguns and more modern guns firing blackpowder propellants in cased cartridges will hopefully come later.

The Taurus PLY has been added to Brazilian Pistols.

The Para-Ordnance PXT SA Long Slide Limited was added to Canadian Pistols.

The Chiappa Mfour-22 Pistol was added to International Pistols.

In Swiss Pistols, the Scorpion variants of the SiG-Sauer 1911 and P-229 have been added to their respective entries. In addition, a little more information has been added to the descriptions of both pistols.

In US Pistols M-Q, the Nighthawk Custom Falcon and the alloy-frame version of the Nighthawk Custom Lady Hawk were added. In addition, more information was added to the description of the Nighthawk Custom Lady Hawk.

The Smith & Wesson SD has been added to the US Pistols - Smith & Wesson page.

Virtually of the Smith & Wesson Revolvers pages have been replaced. The reasons may be something as little as that items that were once on a page were moved to another, or it may be because the revolvers on the page have been tweaked or corrected or in a few cases have been greatly updated, expanded, and essentially redone. The Smith & Wesson 10-30 page has only the Model 10 entry updated; I'm still working on the pages.

In Italian Semiautomatic Shotguns - Benelli, the Benelli Vinci has been added.

In Italian Semiautomatic Shotguns F-Z, the rarely-seen 16-inch barrel version of the SPAS-15 has been added to the SPAS-15 entry.

In US Bolt-Action & Lever-Action Shotguns, more information has been added to the C-MORE M-26 MASS.

The PGM Precision Ultima Ratio has been moved from International Sniper Rifles to French Sniper Rifles, for reasons that are explained in the text of the entry. The rifle's entry has been greatly expanded and updated. The Mini-Hecate has also been moved to French Sniper Rifles, and renamed the PGM-338 (it's current market name according to PGM); however, the entry is only partially redone.

The Les Baer Monolith SWAT was added to US Sniper Rifles G-L.

In the CZ-550 entry, the variant CZ-557 was added, in Czech Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles.

The Marlin X-7 was added to US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles L-M.

In US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles - Remington, the Remington Seven Synthetic, Seven CDL, and Seven Predator have been added, while the Remington 700 BDL has been updated and expanded.

The Browning BL-22 Micro Midas was added to the BL-22 entry in Belgian Lever-Action Sporting Rifles.

On the US Lever-Action Sporting Rifles - Marlin page, the Marlin 1894SBL and 1894CBSL have been added to the Marlin 1894 New Model Entry.

The CZ-512 was added to the Czech Semiautomatic Sporting Rifles.

The Mitchell's Mausers PPS50/22 was added to International Semiautomatic Sporting Rifles.

A new page, Armenian Submachineguns, was added, with the Grozniy K6-92.

The Uzina Mechanica Cugir was added to Romanian Submachineguns.

The Brugger & Thomet APC/APS was added to Swiss Submachineguns.

An updated C-47 entry has been added to the US Cargo Aircraft page. A really updated page. In fact, the other entries on the page look stunted by comparison. (Please note that the AC-47 and DC-3 are not included on this page - the AC-47 will be put on another page, and if I ever do airliners, that's where the DC-3 will be.) Than damn entry took me forever it seems, but I was doing it in response to a very kindly and politely-worded email. Sometimes I'll do that.

[atiff]

Paul, fine work as usual, and put yourself in for a Congressional Medal of T2K!

[Legbreaker]

Paul, I've noticed on your site a number of weapons which have a Pen equal to their damage dice. For example a weapon might do Dam 2, Pen 2-Nil.
Given Pen is the number of dice lost per level of armour, how does that differ to a Pen of simply nil
