Rockets have been found stored in a second United Nations-run school in Gaza, according to the U.N. agency that works with the schools. “Today, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA discovered rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip,” the UNRWA release reads. “As soon as the rockets were discovered, UNRWA staff were withdrawn from the premises, and so we are unable to confirm the precise number of rockets.

After the Carter Administration's cancellation of the B-1A program due to fiscal concerns, the rise of air-launched cruise missiles and the possibility of developing a stealth bomber, Boeing put forward a low-risk, relatively cheap, cruise missile delivery vehicle alternative based on the mighty 747. It was called the Cruise Missile Carrier Aircraft, or CMCA for short.

In this new GTA 5 real life fireworks hack, this guy shoots a series of roman candles from one "gun", sending a series of flares into the air.

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has announced the first successful live-fire tests of the military’s first smart, self-guided bullets. In a video released by DARPA Thursday, Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance (EXACTO) .50-caliber bullets maneuvered independently mid-flight to accurately strike targets purposefully offset from where the firing sniper rifle was aimed.

The Iron Dome missile defense system has achieved a nearly 90 percent success rate since Monday night, an improvement over its performance during Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012. The defense system is activated only when the rockets fired by Palestinian militants at Israel appear likely to hit populated areas.

Only a few elders of Borneo’s Penan tribe still know how to make their unique hunting tool, the blowpipe. Balan is the last person in his village who practices the dying craft. This short film is an extract from the 30 minute documentary Sunset Over Selungo, which will be released online later this year.

Bulletproof Vest testing.

My wife and I got into an argument last night over a dead man. His name was Joseph Robert Wilcox. He was 31 on Sunday, the day he tried to stop cop-killer Jerad Miller in a Las Vegas Walmart and was shot by Miller's wife Amanda. Wilcox was a good guy with a gun. It cost him his life.

There are few things in this world that can change the course of history faster than a nuclear bomb exploding. The devastation is immediate and lasts for years. That makes the latest details to emerge about a Jan. 24, 1961, incident involving two nuclear bombs all the more jarring.

Only in Russia could a flood bring to your doorstep a huge intercontinental ballistic missile. Or at least that's what some Russian bloggers say, after a giant metal tube mysteriously appeared in an Altay village.

Just some guys playing with knives. ... We can't possibly be that good, can we?

One of the forgotten battles of the first world war was fought for Chilean dirt. Daniel A Gross traces the explosive story of nitrates from South America to the western front

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his now-deceased brother used parts from Christmas lights and model cars to build the bombs that they allegedly detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, federal prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday.

Russia intends to spend more than US$600 billion to re-equip its armed forces with cutting-edge weaponry. Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov says the program may even include buying US military technology.

North Korea, which this month threatened to carry out a fourth nuclear test, may be closer than previously thought to putting a nuclear warhead on a missile, some experts say, making a mockery of years of U.N. sanctions aimed at curbing such a programme. North Korea has long boasted of making strides in acquiring a "nuclear deterrent", but there had been general scepticism that it could master the step of miniaturising a nuclear warhead to mount on a ballistic missile.

In 13 short years, killer drones have gone from being exotic military technology featured primarily in the pages of specialized aviation magazines to a phenomenon of popular culture, splashed across daily newspapers and fictionalized in film and television, including the new season of “24.”

In the summer of 1965, just before riots broke out in Watts, President Lyndon Johnson ordered a study on crime in a “free society.” Among its recommendations was developing a technology for handling unruly citizens. A patrolman ought to have a “nonlethal” way to incapacitate a criminal, one that worked quickly and with little risk of lasting injury. “For example,” the study’s authors wrote, “darts have been used for injecting tranquilizing drugs into animals.”

Once it was a status symbol, with its decorations in brass, bone and mother-of-pearl. More than 400 years later it is well preserved in a cellar in Lillehammer, Norway. The revolver belonged to the German Georg von Reichswein. He was a professional soldier and fought on the Danish-Norwegian side in the 30-year war (1618-1648).

Massive Detonation at Undermined Barrier in Maarrat al-Numan. Jihadis trash cans said that it was the Syrian Army Sahaabah barrier at eastern outskirts of Ma'arrat Numan in Idlib. That was a very powerful blast. Nobody could survive something like that.

Virtually every country on Earth will be able to build or acquire drones capable of firing missiles within the next ten years. Armed aerial drones will be used for targeted killings, terrorism and the government suppression of civil unrest. What’s worse, say experts, it’s too late for the United States to do anything about it.
