Being larger than a submachine gun, they are harder to maneuver in tight encounters where superior range and stopping power at distance are not great considerations.

Chiang also used American support and military power in China against the ambitions of the Soviet Union to dominate the talks, stopping the Soviets from taking full advantage of the situation in China with the threat of American military action against the Soviets.

Discharging both barrels at the same time has long been a hunting trick employed by hunters using 8 gauge " elephant " shotguns, firing the two two-ounce slugs for sheer stopping power at close range.

However, it is gained at the cost of stopping power.

High energy beta particles can also be detected by a thin walled tube which has no dedicated end window, and although the tube walls have a greater stopping power than an end window, they allow these more energetic particles to penetrate to reach the fill gas.

It had a newly developed pistol cartridge, the 9mm Parabellum, which was designed for low recoil without sacrificing penetration and stopping power.

It is believed by some that Napalm B is formulated to burn at a specified rate and to adhere to surfaces to increase its stopping power.

Similarly, the energy loss per unit path length, the ' stopping power ', depends on the type and energy of the charged particle and upon the material.

The stopping power and hence, the density of ionization, usually increases toward the end of range and reaches a maximum, the Bragg Peak, shortly before the energy drops to zero.

While hooks are fine for dismounting horsemen from mounts, they lack the stopping power of a spear especially when dealing with static opponents.

They can be stopped by a sufficiently thick layer of material, where stopping power of the material per given area depends mostly ( but not entirely ) on its total mass, whether the material is of high or low density.

However, as is the case with X-rays, materials with high atomic number such as lead or depleted uranium add a modest ( typically 20 % to 30 %) amount of stopping power over an equal mass of less-dense and lower atomic weight materials ( such as water or concrete ).

First, it has enormous stopping power at short range, more than nearly all handguns and many rifles.

It is favored by law enforcement for its low penetration and high stopping power.

The term electronic sputtering can mean either sputtering induced by energetic electrons ( for example in a transmission electron microscope ), or sputtering due to very high-energy or highly charged heavy ions which lose energy to the solid mostly by electronic stopping power, where the electronic excitations cause sputtering.

Because of the extreme stopping power of a thrusting spear, it quickly became a popular weapon of footmen in the Late Middle Ages.

This is because the rear wheel can only transfer a fraction of the stopping power due to the weight transfer to the front that occurs when braking.

The same effect lets the front wheel transfer a lot more stopping power before locking up.

This increases the stopping power without any additional effort being expended by the driver, but it does make it harder for the driver to modulate the brake's sensitivity.

In The New Rebellion, Threepio, along with Artoo and a young mechanic named Cole Fardreamer, is instrumental in stopping Kueller from regaining power by disabling the explosive devices he had placed in a large number of droids.

Plastic tipped bullets are a type of ( rifle ) bullet meant to confer the aerodynamic advantage of the spitzer bullet ( for example, see very-low-drag bullet ) and the stopping power of hollow point bullets.

Generally speaking, “ stopping power ” depends upon application and it is entirely too complicated and controversial to cover in any meaningful way here.

It gives more penetration than JHP but has more stopping power than the FMJ.

The 9. 3 × 62mm is also very popular in the rest of Europe for Big game, especially driven Big game hunts due to its effective stopping power on running game.

Several other properties are also desirable in a good detector scintillator: a low gamma output ( i. e., a high efficiency for converting the energy of incident radiation into scintillation photons ), transparency to its own scintillation light ( for good light collection ), efficient detection of the radiation being studied, a high stopping power, good linearity over a wide range of energy, a short rise time for fast timing applications ( e. g., coincidence measurements ), a short decay time to reduce detector dead-time and accommodate high event rates, emission in a spectral range matching the spectral sensitivity of existing PMTs ( although wavelength shifters can sometimes be used ), an index of refraction near that of glass (≈ 1. 5 ) to allow optimum coupling to the PMT window.

If, however, the stopping time exceeds some limit, there is an initial increase of resistance to motion, indicating that the stopping time was sufficient for the surfaces to restructure.

The stopping criterion varies by algorithm ; possible criteria include: a subset score exceeds a threshold, a program's maximum allowed run time has been surpassed, etc.

It does this by stopping the flow of hydraulic fluid through itself if the flow exceeds a threshold.

Other research has also concluded that later medieval armour, such as that of the Italian city state mercenary companies, was effective at stopping contemporary arrows.

This Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr large-calibre rifle was capable of penetrating the armour of the newer generations of tanks and allowed a chance at stopping them.

As such it can be used, for instance, to test the penetrative power of projectiles, or the stopping power of body armour.

It has all the stopping power of the current body armour but is closer fitting, less bulky and is easier to move in.

Plastic armour was highly effective at stopping armour piercing bullets because the hard granite particles would deflect the bullet which would then lodge between plastic armour and the steel backing plate.

Additionally, any armour capable of stopping large-calibre antiaircraft fire or missile fragments would be simply too heavy and overtax the powerplant.

Drawings After Circuit ( 1972 ), for instance, followed an installation for documenta of four huge steel plates ( 8 by 24 feet each ) jutting in from the corners of a room, stopping short of meeting in the center.

Although visibly nervous, he leapt from the tower's edge, plummeting more than 1, 200 feet ( 366 m ) tied to only a 1 / 8 " ( 3 mm ) steel cable, stopping only a short distance above the ground.

The brake discs are carbon-ceramic and provide better stopping power and fade resistance than steel discs when operating under ideal working temperature.

In August while stopping in Greenock, Scotland, three members of the crew on liberty rendered first aid to a girl who fell from a train.

In 1831, Pike left Massachusetts to travel west, first stopping in St. Louis and later moving on to Independence, Missouri.

The story focuses on the members of the A. D. Police, an advanced group of officers tasked with stopping terrorist activities and Boomer crimes in the city of Mega Tokyo.

CAMRA's campaigns include promoting small brewing and pub businesses, reforming licensing laws, reducing tax on beer, and stopping continued consolidation among local British brewers.

They believe that the Orthodox Jewish movements, on the theological right, have erred by slowing down, or stopping, the historical development of Jewish law: " Conservative Judaism believes that scholarly study of Jewish texts indicates that Judaism has constantly been evolving to meet the needs of the Jewish people in varying circumstances, and that a central halakhic authority can continue the halakhic evolution today.

The problem with this idea is that while the faster moving molecules produce more force, they also do a better job of stopping other molecules from reaching the vane, so the net force on the vane should be exactly the same — the greater temperature causes a decrease in local density which results in the same force on both sides.

In another move, which would destroy Hispaniola's sugar industry, in 1561 Havana, more strategically located in relation to the Gulf Stream, was selected as the designated stopping point for the merchant flotas, which had a royal monopoly on commerce with the Americas.

Maduro administration emphasized on stopping mara growth, especially Mara 18 and Mara Salvatrucha.

If the target is a hard and heavy object, or if it is resting on some sort of anvil, the head can travel only a very short distance d before stopping.

His objectives included finding the source of the West African gold trade and the legendary Christian kingdom of Prester John, and stopping the pirate attacks on the Portuguese coast.

A harness that is used to support shafts, such as on a cart pulled by a single horse, will also have a saddle attached to the harness to help the horse support the shafts and breeching to brake the forward motion of the vehicle, especially when stopping or moving downhill.

In 2002 the Colts moved to the newly created AFC South division ; the two clubs met at the RCA Dome on September 15 where the Dolphins edged the Colts 21-13 after stopping a late Colts drive.

The fact that Bayesian and frequentist arguments differ on the subject of optional stopping has a major impact on the way that clinical trial data can be analysed.

" He also says that when he and Palin were asked to do the sketch for Saturday Night Live, they sat down together to try to remember the lines, and when they got stuck they considered just going out and stopping somebody on the street to ask how it went, since everybody seemed to have it memorised.

Various manufacturers introduced slowing and stopping tracks that could trigger levers on the locomotive and allow station stops.
