.40 cal. S&W semi-automatic handgun.
A widely available, hard-hitting handgun developed and manufactured by Jackal Combat Company. Due to its availability, it has seen endless use by many gangs, crime syndicates, and rogue states around the world.
The AH-40 isn't especially accurate, but it more than makes up for it with unparalleled firepower and magazine capacity.
Many Western special forces encourage their newest recruits using scavenged and confiscated AH-40s as their back-up weapon, so as to alleviate supply issues.

Caborca, Sonora, México.
El 6 de abril de 1857 la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción de Caborca fue escenario de violentos combates cuando la gente del pueblo de Caborca fue sitiada en la vieja misión por una banda de filibusteros americanos, encabezados por Henry Crabb; los filibusteros fueron derrotados por los pápagos, apoyados por habitantes de municipios vecinos. El pápago Francisco Javier atacó con flechas incendiarias el depósito de dinamita de los filibusteros, destruyéndolo en el acto, mermando de esta manera las acciones de los invasores. El capitán Lorenzo Rodríguez comandaba las acciones de los nacionales triunfadores. . En memoria de esta defensa en abril de 1948, Caborca cambió su denominación por el de "Heróica Caborca".

Caborca has a very long and interesting history. It was first christened in 1692 by Father Francisco Kino as "The Conception of Our Lady of Caborca." On April 6th, 1857, Caborca was the scene of a defense against foreign invasion. A force of American filibusters, captained by Henry Crabb, was defeated by Tohono O'odham (Papagos) with the help of neighboring communities. In memory of this defense, the city changed its name to “Heroica Caborca” in April 1948.
Nous avons fait un shooting en boxeuse, légèrement dénudé, mais on ne voit rien, j'aime bien ce style de photos.

With the rise of UFC these days, combat sports have never been more popular. But like all true martial arts (particularly those influenced by Asian disciplines) the aim is not to punish your opponent, but to develop resilience and self-discipline.
Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century.
According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster.

This guy's hoodie, decorated with images of various assault and submachine guns, is belatedly appropriate here because once upon a time this area was known as the Combat Zone, an officially recognized "adult entertainment" area. Now long gone, "the Zone" was mainly populated by strip joints, sleazy bars, and hookers -- and of course their male clientele. LaGrange Street, on the left behind the green plastic, where a couple of strip clubs still operate, was perhaps the most notorious street in the city.
After putting our tank divisions through exercises and trials, Central Command has authorized the construction of both a Martel light tank and a Basque Grand heavy tank variant.
The Basque Grand II 105 is equipped with a mine plow mounted in the front designed to either prematurely detonate the explosives or bury or flip them to the point of harmlessness. Furthermore, they can act as makeshift dozers if needed. They are equipped with 50% better armor on their lower hull in case of a plow failure. As an additional bonus, the plows can act as an additional layer of armor for the front of the vehicles.
For armament, we replaced the 75mm sponson gun, the 47mm anti-tank gun, and one of the machine guns with a low-velocity 105mm howitzer. This weapon delivers a large HE shell to enemy bunkers and other fortifications but is not known for having a particularly good rate of fire or accuracy.
The Martel Mk. II Dozer is a variant that mounts a bulldozer blade on the front of the vehicle and replaces the autocannon with a .30 caliber machine gun.

The TRANSIENT is the newest Dawn Forge answer to the increasingly sneaky Csek. It's speed and firepower are only matched by the insanity of the pilots.
These things are really hard to photograph.
Oh, and if you haven't noticed yet, I got pro this afternoon.
And the name is subject to change. I don't like it.

The Kampf Ingenieur Panzer-2 is a combat engineering vehicle built by Konigsblau Systems and derived from the SPZ-50 Samurai IFV Hull. The vehicle features a powerful excavator bucket, as well as internal and external stowage for tools. It carries 6 combat engineers, along with a driver and gunner who may also be used for extra hands if needed. The Kipz-2 are usually held in battalion engineer sections, or the brigade engineer battalion, in typical operations, the vehicles are often attached one per company from the battalion engineer section.
First time making any lego aircraft, when ace combat 7 released I follow the hype and found this drone design looks nice so I build it.

In the past, I've build various mecha builds before, usually four legged ones, or if bipedal, they usually had very squat and stubby proportions, but I wanted to do a pose-able "Gundam-esque" mecha with more “heroic” proportions for a long time now. This is the result, and I tried to balance aesthetics, range of motion, and overall structural strength.
I got the ab joint design from chubbybots and I repurposed it for the knees.
This is the first time I made a mech of this scale, scope, and size and I'm not 100% satisfied with it so let me know your thoughts and critiques.
A little weapon mod I made up and painted. I haven't been overseas in a few years now and REALLY miss it. I do go to Japan for some extensive training later in the month though. I also got some new materials that I added to the base. Weeds, static grass and tiny leaves.
This machine gun was designed with urban combat in mind, the quick change barrel is short and is chromium lined, the barrel shroud is made out of a tough aluminium alloy with a heat and water resistant rubberized high impact polymer coating, the receiver and internals are made of hefty grade stamped steel alloys, and the pistol grip and stock are made from a very resilient high impact military grade plastic. The Type-500SL can use most standardized rifle calibers by just changing the bolt, feed tray, feed pawl, and barrel.
Cost: 1250$ USD
Peregrine Aerial Combat Training Phase is always a joy to watch. Engineers have actually used some of their moves in designing fighter jets!
As the Second Greco-Roman War dragged on, the resources at the NGRF's disposal continued to dwindle. This was accelerated by the URE's capture of the Macedonian construction yards, effectively cutting the Federation's manufacturing output in half. No longer able to produce Hastati IIs at an acceptable rate, they fell back on bolstering their forces with Decurions.
The Decurion began its development cycle as an early prototype for the Hastati. Based largely off of tech from the Gremlin, the original design was updated with modern armor and features to become the System we see today. Its performance falls short of the URE's Aardwolf III, but it makes up for that in sheer versatility. It specializes in ground combat but the B-type equipment adds a number of propellant tanks and thrusters to allow for limited use in outer space. This equipment has also been used for dropping Decurions into combat zones from the air, a tactic that has proved somewhat effective for surprising URE forces.
The Decurion's standard armament is a 100mm machine gun but it is also capable of wielding the "Pilum" heavy beam bazooka. Optional equipment includes "System Buster" warheads that can be mounted on the waist and missile pods that fit over the shoulders.
Geez that description took a lot out of me. I make most of it up on the fly and have to scour through all my old descriptions to properly reference stuff and make sure I don't contradict anything.
Anyway I wanted to do a build inspired by Dipo Muh's work, especially his Zaku redesigns. I put a lot of effort into the weapons as well, and really like how the flip-out stock on the rifle turned out as well as how all the parts on the bazooka mesh together. The backpack looks pretty heavy but it stands up pretty well. Only weight issues I've had is with holding the bazooka, where the shoulder guard is kinda necessary.
Came in today! These all look very good, though the two pairs of grey combat pants are actually different...
Also I got the black pants as a freebie I assume. They look pretty cool.
For the BrickArms Mystery Pack vol3.
There is one of these in each pack.
Included trans, crazy metallics, rubber, and swirls.
