Thanks to the .458 SOCOM, AR-15s are Getting Thicker Bullets
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 37 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * .458 SOCOM was developed in 2000 as an upgrade for the standard M4/M16/AR-15 family of rifles. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The development of .458 SOCOM represents some of the best recent innovation in firearms, allowing millions of existing AR-15-type rifles to switch to a higher caliber by substituting just two of scores of parts. The sheer number of AR-15 rifles in the wild will probably keep .458 SOCOM a viable option for gun owners for years to come. One of the more interesting—and powerful—upgrades for the standard AR-15 rifle is an ...
Was This America’s Best Hope to Survive Nuclear Armageddon?
Zachary Keck, The National Interest - 37 minutes ago

All of these measures were necessary to enhance the credibility of America’s strategic deterrent, which ultimately prevented the civil defense plans from being needed at all.

Could Russia Have Won the Cold War?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 2 hours ago

Israel’s Nuclear Submarines are Netanyahu’s Ace in the Hole

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The most survivable arm of the nuclear triad is typically the sea-based one. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Having three submarines in operation generally means at least one is at sea at any particular time, a necessity for a sea-based nuclear deterrent. The Dolphin class reportedly carries up to sixteen torpedoes and missiles; if the submarines’ primary task is nuclear deterrence, half of its weapons space might be allocated for carrying nukes. The result is that at any given time Tehran is likely in the nuclear crosshairs of an Israeli submarin...
