Anisotropy () is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies identical properties in all directions.

There is considerable speculation as to why the observable universe is apparently composed almost entirely of matter ( as opposed to a mixture of matter and antimatter ), whether there exist other places that are almost entirely composed of antimatter instead, and what sorts of technology might be possible if antimatter could be harnessed.

Their most widely known ethnonym is derived from the word ainu, which means " human " ( particularly as opposed to kamui, divine beings ), basically neither ethnicity nor the name of a race, in the Hokkaidō dialects of the Ainu language ; Emishi ( Ebisu ) and Ezo ( Yezo ) ( both ) are Japanese terms, which are believed to derive from another word for " human ", which otherwise survived in Sakhalin Ainu as enciw or enju.

Since “ a cappella ” singing brought a new polyphony with instrumental accompaniment, it is not surprising that Protestant reformers who opposed the instruments ( such as Calvin and Zwingli ) also opposed the polyphony.

Whether this whole process resembles animal apoptosis closely enough to warrant using the name apoptosis ( as opposed to the more general programmed cell death ) is unclear.

Many nationalist movements, such as the French National Front, Austrian Freedom Party, or the Italian Lego Nord are opposed to globalization, but argue that the alternative to globalization is the protection of the nation-state, sometimes, according to critics, in explicitly racist or fascist terms.

As opposed to that, the inquisitorial system has a judge ( or a group of judges who work together ) whose task is to investigate the case.

Drag on a flat plate is closer to being linear with the angle of inclination as opposed to acting quadratically at low angles.

This mechanism is called the double-action pedal system, probably invented by Sébastien Érard in 1810.

In double-action ( DA ), the stroke of the trigger pull generates three actions: ( 1 ) the hammer is pulled back to the cocked position ( 2 ) while the cylinder is being indexed to the next round, and then ( 3 ) the hammer is released to strike the firing pin.

Most revolver cartridges have a rim at the base of the case that is larger than the case body is and which seats against or into the cylinder block to provide headspace control ( to keep the cartridge from moving too far forward in the cylinder chamber ) and to provide for easy extraction in guns using a claw extractor ( most double-action designs ).

Local municipal police under the MPS used to be usually unarmed in contrast to the agents of the PAP ; however since 2006 decision has been taken to issue sidearms to all frontline MPS personnel ; the chosen firearm is a 9mm double-action revolver manufactured by the China North Industries Corporation.

A double-action revolver also requires only a trigger pull for each round that is fired but is not considered semi-automatic since the manual action of pulling the trigger is what advances the cylinder, not the energy of the preceding shot.

This is a condition in which the cylinder does not turn in exact alignment with the forcing cone, so a shooter may be sprayed with burning propellant when the gun is fired or the gun may not fire when used as a double-action.

The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is a six-shot, double-action revolver chambered for the. 44 Magnum cartridge and manufactured by the U. S. company Smith & Wesson.

The muscular exerts practically the same as for an ordinary double-action revolver, while the rate of fire is much slower.

The pistol lacks a manual safety ; instead a de-cocking button is placed on the top rear section of the slide, which when actuated, places the firearm into double-action mode.

The firearm is in a constant double-action mode, and the trigger will reset as such with each cycle.

The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is a five-shot, double-action revolver produced by Smith & Wesson, firing the. 500 S & W Magnum cartridge.

It is built on S & W's largest frame, the X-Frame, which was developed because none of S & W's existing double-action frame designs could handle the muzzle energy and pressures generated by the. 500 S & W cartridge.

There are several safety features built into the Thunder 380: a slide mounted manual safety and decocker that blocks the hammer, a magazine disconnect safety that prevents firing if a magazine is not inserted, a long double-action ( DA ) first trigger pull, an inertial firing pin, and ( in some models ) an integral key-operated trigger lock.

It is a compact, double-action, semi-automatic pistol with a conventional blowback action.

The stainless steel double-action only variant of this pistol, the Model 5946, produced from 1990 to 1999, was manufactured without safety levers, and is the primary issue Royal Canadian Mounted Police pistol and one of three pistols available for selection by New York City Police Department.

Historically, the use of two guns at once, one in each hand, is most associated with the American Old West, where revolvers holding only six rounds of ammunition were the highest capacity handguns available and reloading was a slow process.

While this does bear some similarity with the classic posture of cowboys firing their twin revolvers from the hip, in games this posture is almost never reflected, with almost all game characters firing twin guns at shoulder level, straight-armed.

Some magazines, such as that of most centerfire hunting rifles and all revolvers, are internal to and inseparable from the firearm, and are loaded by using a clip, which is a device that holds the ammunition by the rim of the case and is designed to assist the shooter in reloading the firearm's magazine.

One solution that is applicable to revolvers in particular is the possibility of using a reduced-volume case.

A revolver or six-shooter ( as most revolvers have a maximum capacity of six rounds ) is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing.

Another significant advantage of revolvers is superior ergonomics, particularly for users with small hands.

Additionally, in the case of double-action-only revolvers there is no risk of accidental discharge from dropping alone, as the hammer is cocked by the trigger pull.

Introduced in 2003, the Smith & Wesson Model 500 is one of the most powerful revolvers, utilizing the. 500 S & W Magnum cartridge.

The Rhino, built with the U. S. concealed carry market in mind, is designed so that the bullet fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder instead of the top chamber as in standard revolvers.

The loading gate on the original Colt designs ( and on nearly all single-action revolvers since, such as the famous Colt Single Action Army ) is on the right side, which was done to facilitate loading while on horseback ; with the revolver held in the left hand, the cartridges can easily be ejected and loaded with the right.

Since the cylinder in these revolvers is firmly attached at the front and rear of the frame, and since the frame is typically full thickness all the way around, fixed cylinder revolvers are inherently strong designs.

Fixed cylinder revolvers can fire the strongest and most powerful cartridges, but at the price of being the slowest to load and cannot use speedloaders or moon clips for loading, as only one chamber is exposed at a time to the loading gate.

Unlike most DA / SA semi-automatic pistols, for most revolvers, cocking the hammer with the thumb will give a more powerful hammer strike than when the hammer is cocked by pulling the trigger.

This is due to the trigger design on revolvers.

As a general rule, revolvers cannot be effective with a sound suppressor (" silencer "), as there is usually a small gap between the revolving cylinder and the barrel which a bullet must traverse or jump when fired.

While the tiny gap between cylinder and barrel on most revolvers is insignificant to the internal ballistics, the seal is especially effective when used with a suppressor, and a number of suppressed Nagant revolvers have been used since its invention.
