Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* While sniper rifles existed before World War I, they really came into their own in the trenches of the Great War. *Here’s What You Need to Remember*: As a sniper rifle, the P14 was markedly superior to almost any other on the front. While sniper rifles existed before World War I, they really came into their own in the trenches of the Great War. Precise rifles with telescopic sights were critical tools when it came to picking off enemy soldiers from trench to trench. But of all the sniper rifles developed during the Great War, one stands above t...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Can Iran stop the world’s best military? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Massed together, Iran’s air defenses provide Tehran with a degree of deterrence because they increase the difficulty, expense and time required to launch air attacks on Iran—particularly from regional actors. Iran’s military planners face an unenviable military challenge: preparing defenses against air attacks from the most formidable air forces on the planet. The once-formidable Iranian Air Force, starved of spare parts for its 1970s-era American-built fighte...

Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* A lot of Kel-Tec’s designs are interesting, albeit flawed. But that they could be a lot more interesting if better materials and QC were applied to them. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* Kel-Tec is new and it's going to stick around. *Who Is Kel-Tec?* Kel-Tec is one of the most polarizing companies in the American gun industry, known for making exotic designs at cheap prices, but also with quality control issues.

Taiwan Has Its Own Spin on America’s Favorite Weapon: The M-16
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* The primary difference between the T65 and the M16 is the incorporation of a short-stroke external piston gas system instead of the internal piston gas system used in the M16. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The T91 will remain an interesting footnote in the history of the M16 platform as one of the first truly viable external short-stroke piston ARs to reach widespread production.

Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* Is this the world's best gun? *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* In recent years, Sig Sauer, Inc. debuted its first bolt action rifle, the Sig CROSS. While Sig Sauer, Inc. (then known as SIGARMS, Inc.) sold bolt actions prior, the SSG 2000 and SSG 3000 were designed by Sig Sauer, GmbH in Germany, not by the U.S. division.

How the Beretta 92x Became a Comeback Kid
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Americas* The Beretta seems to be more receptive to what the community wants. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* In 2019, the Beretta 92 had a mild renaissance. Long derided by veterans and service members in as being hard to shoot, bulky, and unreliable in the military M9 configuration, the Beretta started to become hip again. Likely as a result of the increased interest, Beretta announced a new version of the Beretta 92, the 92X in the summer of 2019. But what prompted the continued interest in the Beretta 92? A lot of it can be attributed to one ma...
Elections in Palestine: Prelude or Ploy?
Omar H. Rahman, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Omar H. Rahman* *Palestine, Middle East* Although Palestinian Authority elections are limited in scope, they are simply the most accessible instrument for breaking the authoritarian stranglehold over Palestinian institutions and kickstarting a process of reform that can spread outward. For nearly two months after the U.S. presidential election in November, Donald Trump attempted to subvert the results of the democratic process and remain in power. Ironically, his inability to do so prompted another would-be-authoritarian half a world away—one who has managed to succeed repeated...
