If any firm has exhibited the continued development of a weapon type it is the firm of Erma. They have developed the MP (Machinen-Pistole) series of submachine guns for over 40 years and as a result the weapon range displays the advances in material and in technique of manufacture which have taken place.
Erma, ERfurt MAchinen = ERMA, was founded in 1924 by Berthold Geiupel, who had been the Director of the main arsenal at Erfurt which had been disbanded alter World War I in 1919. Although the first submachine guns had been demonstrated in prototype form during the first World War, it was not until 1927 that an efficient weapon was developed. Once again, as with many weapons of this era, the early submachine gun developments were put to their initial tests during the Spanish Civil War. |

As the need arose to replace the Yakovlev Yak-28 Brewer making up the backbone of the Soviet Air Force's tactical bomber fleet since 1960, the Sukhoi Design Bureau began development of a twinjet tactical bomber known in-house as the T-6.
The first prototype (called T6-1) flew in June 1967, featuring delta wings and four lift-jets buried in the fuselage to improve field performance. However, the weight penalty imposed by the lift-jets was deemed unacceptable and the aircraft was radically reworked to feature variable-geometry wings, becoming the Soviet counterpart to the General Dynamics FB-111. The resulting T6-21 entered flight testing in May 1970, subsequently entering production and service as the Su-24.
The bomber underwent a progressive refinement and development process, spawing dedicated reconnaissance and ECM variants. To this day, the Su-24 remains the principal Russian tactical bomber. Apart from deployment in East Germany and Poland in the Cold War days, the type has participated in "hot" conflicts as the Afgan War and the First Chechen War. |

The Colt .45 has had a love-hate relationship with its users since its arrival was announced in 1905. Love, because it will fire continuously in the worst combat conditions and give 100% stopping power ; hate because of the heavy twisting recoil that makes the rookie gun-shy if not carefully trained. |
