Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cgrant26: I started watching Jive when he was just streaming Cold Waters games. He would talk about his knowledge and experiences (as much as he could) during the game streams but started doing whiteboard videos when his viewers started asking for it. Pretty awesome that he's turned it all into a career. (he also writes for Warzone magazine now) His sonar clip analysis videos are fantastic. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brownbomber: The hammer spring and the extractor spring in the AK are both stranded-wire springs. I think the intent of using 3 wires in the hammer spring, which is a torsion spring, is simply to take advantage of the higher tensile strength and lower stress levels of the smaller wires - the strength of drawn wire increases tremendously as one progresses down to the smaller grades. If it were made of a single wire, it would "take a set" at a lesser angle of deflection. The intent in the extractor spring, as in an operating spring, is to damp a mechanical "surge wave" and limit operating stresses and bouncing of the extractor. I've seen pictures of stranded-wire operating springs in AKs, but mine doesn't have one. I don't know if there was a variant that had one as standard. Stranded-wire springs actually give inferior service life if they are NOT loaded quickly enough, so replacing a homogeneous single-wire spring with a stranded-wire spring is not always advisable. I just checked a technical report on the ShKas machine gun that I have, and with the gas regulator fully-open, it is puking out an astonishing 36 rounds per second. That is almost twice as fast as an MG42! I believe the stranded-wire (made of 2 wires instead of 3, strangely) was invented for that weapon.

The operating spring impinges on an "acceletator" lever, since the rounds must be fed and ejected at a velocity nearing or possibly even in excess of rate-of-expansion of the spring. They've had interesting, ridiculously-high-rate-of-fire machine guns dating back to the 1920s with the ShKas machine gun. The stranded-wire spring was invented by the Soviets to provide a spring that wouldn't fail within a few hundred cycles from that kind of abuse.

The one gun I've owned that I never detailed stripped was my MAK-90. I knew if I ever took that hammer spring off, I'd never get it back on. Now it's owned by a AK-fan who is a SSG in the USAR. |

WW2 German Traffic Analysis of the Russian Communications
Chapter 3. SUMMARY OP GERMAN SUCCESSES IN TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OF RUSSIAN COMMUNICATIONS 1. The Russians depended on the use of One-time Pad cryptographic systems for security of their high level traffic and on code books and enciphering tables for their medium and low level traffic. The One-time Pads were not read by the Germans, but the medium and low level systems were read to a great extent. 2. The main source of information the German Traffic Analysts had came from exploitation of the Russian use of call signs, radio frequencies, message indicator groups, and direction-finding reports. 3. Another source of information came from the intelligence gained from reading pre-arranged message forms. The Russians used these forms extensively for reports. The Germans had little difficulty In reading such traffic. 4. There was very close cooperation between the German Intercept operators and traffic analysts in the field. Integration of available information, such as traffic analysis results, evaluation of data, cryptanalysis, prisoner of war interrogations, captured documents, and other types of intelligence vas carried out with excellent efficiency. 5. The Russian call sign systems were not as secure as the Russians believed. Given sufficient call sign, traffic and day-to-day continuity the German Signal Intelligence Service vas able to reconstruct the systems. 6. Some of the outstanding successes of German Traffic Analysis were: a. A knowledge of the Russian Air Force order of battle and of battle situation. b. A knowledge of the organization and order of battle of some Russian Army units. c. A knowledge of strength, types, and armament of aircraft, d. A knowledge of the location and occupation of airfields. e. "A knowledge of the movements and concentrations of Air and Ground Force units. f. A knowledge of operational intentions. g. A knowledge of the amount and type of air transport. h. A knowledge of the Russian supply situation. i. A knowledge of probable targets. |

The Novorossiysk mystery
After WWII, the victorious Allies divvied up most of the surrendered Italian navy. The USSR received the battleship Giulio Cesare which was renamed Novorossiysk. Later rated as a training ship, Novorossiysk sank on 29 October 1955 in what is the largest-ever Soviet or Russian peacetime naval disaster. The mystery surrounding the ship’s loss has never been solved. |
