X-51 Hypersonic Cruise Missile - Mach 5
At around 3600 Miles per hour the X-51 will reach Mach 5 and can hit any place on earth in under an hour.
The need for fast action is sure to arise in the near future, says the american military, with rumors of north korea planning a nuclear launch and biotoxins being stockpiled in Lebanon.
Tomahawk missiles are too slow. In 1998 the USS Abraham Lincoln Battle group launched Tomahawk cruise missiles at confirmed Intel location of al qaeda training strongholds and a possible Osama bin laden location.
The missiles were launched in the Arabian Sea from a Warship and flew 1100 miles to, Which took very close to 2 hours, and according to Richard Clarke, former leader of counter terrorism
in the U.S., they missed Ossama by under an hour. the X-15 would of had time to spare.
Unlike many ground missiles the Hypersonic X-51 missile will be launched from a B-52 Jet plane and boosted to supersonic speeds by a rocket and then hyper accelerated to hypersonic speed by a scram jet system.
With a 60 million dollar project budget the X51 should be in a war near you in no time

Soviet-era ballistic blade projectile prototype
This is an interesting find. The soviet creation features a 4 and a half inch spring loaded blade that when triggered releases the knife head at an insane rate of force.
I cant see it working too well over a long distance but could prove very useful in close combat.
The last thing your victim would expect is for the blade of your knive to shoot out and pierce him.
Unfortunately we wont be seeing this weapon prototype going into production any time soon.

Area Denial Weapons System - Metal Storm
Weapons manufacturer Metal Storm has perfected the Area denial weapons system (ADWS) and is proud to announce that after years of testing this smart technology weapon is soon to be part of the us military's arsonal
Many sites claim that the ADWS fires 6000 bullets per minute but according to www.metalstorm.com it actually fires small grenades with smart technology that insures all ammunition explodes and none is left behind to endanger our side.
Another selling point of the Area denial weapon system is its ability to adapt to any place it is needed. above the adws is mounted on a small tank like device to mobilize it. Due to its size and weight it must be mounted to an object and cannot be fired from a mans hand
smart technology in action. Being tested and demonstrated in australia.
If the price tag was affordable I would set this up on my roof to discourage solicitors.
Below is the weapon in action on video

Warrior Women fantasy art part 1
Heavy metal art women are some of my favorite drawings. I have been reading the magazine for at least a decade and was lucky to stumble upon an old comic store selling hundreds of the mags for pennies a pop
Female viking warriors were some of the first to fight there way into the history books. While the viking males are off pillaging and raping foreigners. The housewives were forced to stay home and defend the property from outside threats
fantasy art warrior women have been frolicking in the minds of men for ages. Something about a woman strapping on weapons and braving the amazons cutting down any enemy in their path is erotic to say the least
fantasy warrior woman with dual assault rifles and the bare minimum of armor for the viewers pleasure. Not sure how effective it would be in real combat
Bloody lingerie and a massive skull on this female warriors head are both intimidating and sexy at the same time. A combo unseen till now
This sexy female warrior, created by one of the many heavy metal magazine illustrators, is the first in a series titled: Amazon warriors women. The series features a beautifully drawn cast of females all deadlier then the next who frolic through the amazons treacherous jungles battling forces of evil
A break from the illustrated woman above is a warrior women fantasy art muse. One who poses in different positions to inspire the artist and help fuel creativity
Fantasy warrior women are often depicted with exaggerated features and minimized armor. Tattoos, scars and blood stains change an ordinary girl into a menacing creation that intrigues and intimidates. Dark scenery and filthy torn garments only accentuate the milky white and smooth skin leaving a small trace of femininity that separates a sexy Aztec warrior princess from a mean butch that could easily pass for a lesbian.
Female warriors exist throughout history, Joan of Arc and Jeanne Hachette come to mind, and still they maintain feminine traits by raising families and doing motherly deeds. To find more pictures female warriors throughout history check out Wikipedia's list of famous female warriors
The above Aztec warrior princess is one of Heavy metal magazines most prized creations. She is the star of the ongoing series and has hacked and sliced through many a worthy foe. I would love to see a full movie created based on this fantasy art female warrior
the native warrior above is a creation from one of the many artists who showcase their artwork on Deviant Art - fantasy art section. No where on the net, that I have found, holds a larger collection of amazing works created by some of the greatest illustrators alive.
Sept 2004's issue of Heavy Metal Magazine, the adult illustrated fantasy magazine's cover artwork is brilliant. From the great color selection to the very fine detail in all of this warriors weapons and armor this is truly a masterpiece.

Being an avid reader of the magazine I have found myself often daydreaming of a fantasy world where sexy female warriors run ramped using and abusing the meek males of this torturous world.
The day of the warrior woman arrives and I am a week helpless man being abused by the ancient and evil beasts who feast on the souls of the weak. Just when I think I can take not another menacing advance a gorgeous and fantastic warrior woman leaps out of the dark shadows dressed in skimpy lingerie and a tiny amount of armor barely, and sometimes not at all, covering her feminine anatomy. A large and shimmering sword clutched tight in her delicate hand deadly and sexy at the same time. She dances fluttering across the desolate terrain slicing, stabbing and shrieking at my foe's, cutting them down one by one until they all lay in a bloody heap just a dark shadow in my past that shall plague me no more thanks to my dark warrior princess. She throws me a glance sensing I am no threat as she makes her way over to where I lay cowering, beaten and reduced to a shell of a man, on the ground in a pile of my own self pity. After placing her weapons back in their holdings and scanning the scenery to make sure there are no more threats, she extends her hand to help me from the ground. Staying true to the dominating fantasy warrior woman image she demands reward for her heroic life saving intervention in the form of sexual gratitude and I willingly comply.

Big Dog - military experiments
The Big Dog is a genius creation by the u.s. military originally created to carry supplies through and over almost anything in its way.
It uses a gyroscopic laser precision internal navigation system to create one of the most stable units possible.
Sanjiv Singh is one of the creators who worked on this technology. His main contribution was the laser driven control system.
An artists rendering of what the BigDog would look like trotting beside soldiers in a war.
Rather than the soldiers strapping the weight to their backs, like in all previous war engagements, this small horse like robot can carry up to 250 pounds without affecting its balance or mileage
Early tests involved the Bigdog being controlled by remote.
Interesting Bigdog video shows the beast being kicked rather hard in the side and though it stumbles it never loses its balance. You can also see this military experiment climbing over a mountain of bricks, trickily manuveuring over an icy patch of road and gracefully climbing up a snowy hill.
