Obama Restricts Military Equipment For Police
Obama didn't restrict the USE of anything. The white house announced new restrictions on police departments from OBTAINING military-style equipment FROM the federal government. If the local police want bayonets, grenade launchers, etc. they are still free to purchase them elsewhere.
Obama Restricts Military Equipment For Police
"We need to get rid of all this heavy weaponry and armour. The APCs, the grenade launchers. All of that junk. What other kind of things are the police parading around with?"
"Tanks, Obama"
Nothing about this toy makes sense!
The bit where the launcher connects to the head breaks fairly quickly which leaves you with a working head but no way to propel it.
It's a cheap toy that is available in junk shops like The Reject Shop (in Australia at least), made in China of course. Seems to entertain the kids and drug smokers of course. ; )
Launching Small Rockets to Space from Jets
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's primarily an anti-satellite missile system. They've built those before, but if it's the launcher itself they're putting into LEO, from there maybe it can fire sub-munitions that can hit something useful like geostationary satellites.
100 lbs to LEO for $1M: that's $10k/lb. Cheaper than the space shuttle, but a fair bit more than what the private launch folks (will eventually) launch for. Also the video doesn't show de-orbit or passivization of the 2nd stage, meaning this is a potential source of a lot of new space junk. Furthermore, since this is Darpa/military, it strikes me as a cover story for further weaponization of space.
Seat belt violatiation ends w/ Police Smash Window and Taser
Seems kinda tame, they didn't have a tear gas launcher handy?
Interesting Way To Launch Fireworks
The description from one of the other slingshot rocket launcher vids is:
It seems to be the season for it, people here are still letting off illegal fireworks 24 hours after New Years Eve (and they started several weeks before Christmas!).
That video also explains what's going on, it was his test run during the day:
tombstone-skin that smoke wagon and see what happens
Lead Launcher
Palm Cannon
Thumb Buster (.45 revolver)
Gut Cutter
Blue-steel hole-filler
GTA V 5-Star Police Chase
this is going to encourage people with miniguns, rocket launchers and super cars to go out and do these things.

Chances are good, that if there was a practical application for the military as a personal combat weapon, it would already be here. Wait for tinier more powerful batteries maybe? But by that time, a walking DarpaBot with a minigun and grenade launcher will have replaced puny human infantry fleshbots..
How many years till this technology has real world military application?
Russian Navy Hovercraft Lands on Busy Beach
I dunno man, 140 mm Ogon launchers 2 x 22 with 132 rockets or a 30 mm AK-630 Air Defense Gun Mount 2 x 6 with 6000 rounds makes for a pretty robust Navy vessel insurance policy, besides that...... seamen are safer on beetches !
No insurance on government property! Certainly no insurance on Navy vessels...

Russian Artillery In Slow Motion - (16000 Frames Per Second)
Fun note here: the missile launcher on the tripod towards the end is 'wire' guided and you can see the wire unspooling. It is attached to the missile all the way until impact to steer it.
Australia's Gun Control Program
It was a confiscation policy. All guns that were banned HAD to be handed in. This was easily enforced by our mandatory gun registration laws in most states (except in Tasmania where the massacre that trigger this scheme occurred). People could hand in any gun they wanted even if it wasn't banned. I am not sure if there was compensation involved.
One stupid outcome was that many antique and rare guns were destroyed rather than rendered inopporeable or transferred to museums etc. My neighbour handed in a very valuable double barrell shotgun that was destroyed despite it being legal. He didn't want it anymore and like manny citizens took advantage of the amnesty to dispose of it.
You can still own pump action and semi-auto guns. You just need a special license for them. To get the license you need an especially good reason to need such weapons. There are strict regulations surrounding their storage and use. That said, my brother got a job as a pest controller for a class D license which enabled him to have grenade launchers if he wanted.
tl:dr - Australians have a very sensible approach to guns. You didn't see any whining about self protection in this vid did you?
UK Bank Robbery Attempt à la Guy Ritchie
But what if all those civilians were carrying guns? Or disposable rocket launchers!
That security wall is brilliant but locking the doors behind him could end up badly if a robber was armed and there were innocent civilians trapped in there with him.
