HK G3

El G3 es un rifle automático en calibre 7.62 x 51 mm, desarrollado en la década de los 50's por la empresa estatal española CETME (Centro de Estudios Técnicos de Materiales Especiales) con apoyo del fabricante alemán de armamento HK (Heckler & Koch GmbH). Cuenta con selector de fuego automático de tres o cuatro posiciones (modo seguro, modo semiautomático o tiro a tiro, modo automático y el opcional de ráfagas de tres tiros), sistema operado por gases, percutor de martillo y cerrojo de dos piezas. Sus miras metálicas se pueden ajustar en deriva y elevación para 100, 200, 300 y 400 metros, así como disponer de un riel para adaptarle una mira telescópica o de visión nocturna. El rayado del cañón tiene una relación de 4 vueltas por cada 305 mm, terminado en una apaga flamas y base para bayoneta o lanza granadas. Cuenta con accesorios tales como bípode desmontable, bayoneta, portafusil, kit de limpieza y dispositivo de recarga rápida. Sus orígenes se remontan a los finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial cuando la fábrica Mauser diseñó el rifle de asalto StG45(M) en calibre 7.92 mm. Basados en este prototipo, CETME desarrolló el rifle LV-50 recamarado inicialmente en el calibre intermedio 7.92 x 33 mm Kurz y posteriormente en 7.92 x 40 mm M53. Interesados en el rifle, los alemanes solicitaron a CETME una variante del rifle en calibre 7.62 mm x 51 mm para estandarizarse con el resto de la OTAN. CETME desarrolló dos prototipos en calibre 7.62 x 51 mm CETME (cartucho similar en dimensiones al de la OTAN pero con una carga de pólvora menor). Sin embargo en 1956 las autoridades germanas decidieron adoptar como rifle de cargo el FN FAL (denominado como G1), en calibre 7.62 x 51 mm OTAN. Dado que el nuevo ejército de Alemania Occidental (Bundeswehr) no pudo adquirir la licencia de fabricación del FN FAL, decidió buscar otra alternativa en calibre 7.62 x 51 mm OTAN. CETME presentó su Automatisches Gewehr G3, compitiendo con el SIG SG-510 (G2) y el AR-10 (G4) como reemplazo del rifle G1. En enero de 1959 el Bundeswehr adoptó el rifle CETME G3, el cual incluía también la licencia de fabricación. La producción propia del G3 fue asignada a las fábricas Rheinmetall y HK (Heckler & Koch). En 1969 Rheinmetall dejó de producir el G3, por lo que HK se encargó totalmente de su producción. Para 1977 el gobierno alemán le cedió a HK los derechos de fabricación y venta del G3.

Inicialmente los rifles G3 originales (A1) disponían de miras ajustables de dos posiciones y culata fija de madera o bien culata movible. El G3A2 presentaba una mira trasera de tambor rotatorio. La versión mas conocida es la A3, con miras de tambor rotatorio, culata sintética (plástico), guardamonte plástico que no hace contacto con el cañón, capacidad de uso de bípode y apagaflamas. Dentro de este modelo existen ciertas variantes: el G3A3A1 es un G3A3 con un gatillo ambidiestro y deflector de bronce. El G3A3ZF cuenta con una mira telescópica Hensoldt 4x24, el G3SG/1 se diseñó para francotiradores, con gatillo mejorado, mira telescópica Zeiss 1.5-6x y culata ajustable, mientras que la carabina G3K tiene un cañón recortado. HK desarrolló posteriormente el modelo G3A4, el cual incluye culata metálica ajustable y cargadores de doble hilera de acero (260 g) o aluminio (140 g). Su variante G3A4ZF incluye mira telescópica (ZF significa "Zielfernrohr" o telescopio). El G3A4A1 es una variante del G3A4 con un gatillo ambidiestro y deflector de bronce. El G3KA4 es el modelo reducido o carabina (Karabiner), cuenta con miras de tambor, culata retráctil y un cañón recortado de sólo 315 mm (12.4 pulgadas). El G3KA4A1 es igual en dimensiones que el G3KA4 pero con un gatillo ambidiestro y deflector de bronce. El modelo A5 de HK (G3A5) simplemente incorpora un sistema más silencioso de cerrojo y se manufacturó principalmente para el ejército danés. El modelo G3A7 es idéntico al G3A3, pero se denominó así para su venta al ejército turco. Existen además versiones semiautomáticas del G3 (uso civil y para policía), como el HK41 (convertible en automático mediante el cambio del mecanismo de gatillo) y el HK91 (no convertible en automático), así como el rifle tipo deportivo SR9 (sin apagaflamas) y con cargadores de baja capacidad. El G3 ha sido adoptado a lo largo de su historia por los ejércitos de 40 países (Estonia, Grecia, Reino Unido, Islandia, Lituania, Portugal, Turquía, Albania, Azerbayán, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Brasil, Camboya, Chile, Croacia, Chipre, Ecuador, El Salvador, Irán, Indonesia, Kenia, Kuwait, Líbano, Malasia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistán, Paraguay, Perú, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tailandia, etc. Sigue siendo producido en Francia (MAS), Grecia (Hellenic Arms Industry), Iran (Defense Industries Organization), Myanmar (fábrica estatal Ka Pa Sa), Noruega (Kongsberg), Pakistán (Pakistan Ordnance Factories, Portugal (FMBP), Saudi Arabia (Al Kharj Arsenal), Sudán (Military Industries Corporation), Suecia (FFV), Tailandia, Turquía (MKE) y Gran Bretaña (Royal Ordnance).

Do Gazza and stepdaughter Bianca use the same plastic surgeon?

Bianca Gascoigne looked a chip of the old block as she celebrated her 21st birthday this week sporting newly supersized cleavage.

Her look was a rather peculiar flash back to 1990, where her step-father Paul made headlines for showing off similarly fake plastic breast just after the World Cup in Italy.

She showed off her new assets while celebrating her 21st birthday with a Hallowe'en birthday party at Chinawhite in London.

She said: "I lost some weight and noticed my bust didn't look as big. So I had it fixed. I love them."

Surgery appears to be quite the family tradition - Bianca's mother Sheryl also got implants during her early twenties.

Bianca was joined by a host of reality television identities at the popular club, including Danielle Lloyd, Katie Price, former Liberty X singer Michelle Scott-Lee.

Later, a group of soap stars descended on the Mayfair club after the National TV Awards including Coronation Street stars Tina O'Brien and Ryan Thomas.

Bianca's former Love Island love interest Calum Best also attended the party, as well as Big Brother contestant Chanelle Hayes.

They were all clearly in the mood for a wild night, with the group reportedly running up an impressive £20,000 alcohol bill.

Lewis has his engine purring for Pussycat Doll Nicole

He's lightening fast on the track, and it seems Lewis Hamilton is lightning fast with the ladies too.

Last night, the Formula 1 star met former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and in a matter of hours he'd convinced her to go for an "intimate" date.

The pair met backstage at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich, where Lewis, 22, was presenting an award and Nicole was performing with will.i.am.

The racer then headed back to his hotel with his pals - who included Shaggy and magician Dynamo - for some Dutch courage, before heading out to see 29-year-old Nicole perform at a private party thrown by record label Universal.

An onlooker said: "Lewis was quite nervous about meeting her, and was fidgeting in the hotel bar before he went out to see her. He sat near the side of the stage and couldn't keep his eyes off her as she performed with will.i.am at the exclusive party.

"Nicole then arranged to have him brought backstage, where they met at the VIP bar. Lewis had his arm around her as she whispered in his ear - he was telling her how much he loved her performance and how fantastic she looked.

"She clearly loved the attention, and told him how pleased she was that he came to see her."

Animal attraction: Pussycat Nicole had Lewis purring

Lewis has been single after splitting up with his long-term girlfriend Jodia Ma in March.

With his wealth and good looks, he has got to be one of the world's most eligible bachelors - and Nicole certainly seemed to be aware of that.

The source added: "Lewis told one of his entourage that it was too busy backstage and that he would like to go somewhere quieter. He then leaned over to Nicole and told her he would like to take her somewhere more intimate. Finally, they left the party together, climbing into his black people carrier."

Here's hoping that Lewis takes his fast moves onto the track next season, because if he does he'll definitely be walking the championship.

Green Friday!

Happy Friday! My friend Peggy at Erickson Design sent me what I think is the a great idea! time.

It's called TerraPass - because as Green as you want to be, sometimes it's hard to off set all of the Carbon Foot printing that's done at a wedding. I mean guests driving, vendors driving, guests flying in, food being cooked, electricity being used. It's an arduous task to determine where to stay Green if you don't know where to start, or where to end up.

TerraPass has 4 Steps:

1.
Understanding that your wedding is responsible for a lot of greenhouse gas emissions from travel, lodging, and the event itself.

2.
You buy a Wedding TerraPass.

3. TerraPass funds clean energy projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions.


4.
Your TerraPass is third-party verified to reduce the equivalent of your wedding's carbon dioxide emissions.
