Another guide to U.S. military power and systems, from the Federation of American Scientists. The second link is direct to the “DoD-101” section, which has a lot of useful information.

An excellent guide to the United States Armed Forces, their weapons systems, current operations, units, bases in theaters of war (namely Iraq and Afghanistan), and plenty of news relating to military operations. An invaluable resource.

 

www.google.com

The old standby, and the best way to find what you are looking for. If you aren’t too sure of what’s being described, a little tooling around on Google will usually get you the information you need to get it right. ALWAYS get it from more than one source; hopefully one of those will be an official source.

A good site for researching main handguns, rifles and assault weapons (machine guns( of the world. Helpful when dealing with stories involving machine guns, rifles and handguns
