Future Military Guns - Best High Tech Weapons 1 | SCAR-Light The effort to replace the M-16 rifle, as well as its more compact variant, the M4, has been a long, epic and largely tragic tale. One attempt would have created a modular weapon system, called the Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW), with an integrated grenade launcher and laser-rangefinder. That all-in-one system was scrapped because of excessive weight, and subsequent attempts to salvage the core of that weapon—the XM8 assault rifle—have also failed, highlighting some of the worst aspects of the weapons procurement process. Fed up with the rest of military's inability to replace the M-16 and M4, and apparently uninterested in an OICW-type multipurpose weapon, the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) held a competition for a new assault rifle, to be deployed with special forces personnel. This is precision-guided munitions for infantry, with the goal of negating nearly any kind of cover a target could find, particularly in urban environments.

A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos) If there was a prize that could be given out to the most creative father, I'd hope that it was awarded to Jason Lee. A wedding photographer by day, he's used to capturing some of the most important moments in a couple's lives. As a longtime fan of Jason's photos on Flickr however, I think the real magic happens when he turns the camera onto his daughters. Sure, his children are adorably cute in their own right, but that's not what makes his photos so interesting.

12 One-Year Personal Stunts We Can't Stop Talking About Ocilloscope Laboratories/Promo image. The No Impact Man movie poster. Call them New Year's resolutions on steroids: The past few years have seen a variety of people publicly pledge to spend 365 days living a more environmentally friendly life, whether by eating locally, eschewing plastic, making one small change a day, or giving up money altogether. Often snapped up eagerly by the media, such initiatives have also been criticized as attention-seeking green stunts that don't make a difference. And while it's true that going a year without toilet paper won't stop global warming, it will get a lot of people talking about environmental issues -- and that just might bring about the change we need. Here are 12 stunts -- one for every month of the year -- we can't stop talking about.

From ferrying hundreds or thousands of passengers and cargo by air and sea, clearing thousands of tons of earth with apparent ease, or transporting vast payloads bound for space, mega-machines have redefined the course of modern industry. But when they become surplus to requirements, removing their immense bulk swiftly from the landscape becomes a task almost as challenging as their inception. Many thus remain abandoned for years, as illustrated by these six varied examples from around the world. {*style:<b>
