Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        How is it possible that in a "so advanced" army, which puts billions of dollars in armory-buying, the number of victims is higher outside the battle zone than those inside the battle zone?

          As for the Vahan-it may already be in production.
          Unfortunately, the VAHAN is NOT in production by the Armenian Armed Forces. I contacted Vahan Manasian (the inventor) in October of 2008 and asked him a few questions and below was his reply to my questions. I do not know if they have changed their minds as of 2010 but it's unlikely if they were not interested in the first place.

          1) How strong do you think the arms manufacturing business is in Armenia; that is, are we taking big steps into making our country self-sufficient militarily?
          This question could be best answered by the Ministry of Defense. You might want to consult with the www.gov.am web pages and find the contacts for the ministry. The development of armament industry is a complex task and it requires a long term planning that factors in the geopolitical variables.
          2) Is Armenia going to mass-produce the VAHAN for domestic use, notably in the army?
          So far the Ministry of Defense has not expressed a clear desire to do so. They were interested on an abstract level, but have given me full freedom to do whatever I wish in terms of managing the future of the gun. This indicates that the officials do not plan to use it in any possible way, that is what I derive from the immediate events.
          3) How would you rate the VAHAN when comparing it to the two traditional rivals, the AK-47 and the M-16... meaning could you compare and contrast them?
          VAHAN is simpler, it's barrel can be dismantled and NATO compatible. The gases that are being lost in AK-47, do not occur here and that is why the bullet speed and power are stronger in Vahan. Plus, VAHAN's targeting capacity is higher, it is more precise and easy to manipulate given that it does not have the inertia as one sees it in AK-47 and M-16.

              Does anybody know the designation of the sniper rifle above?
              Thanks
              Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
              Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
              Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests
