Fine Art Firepower: Chrysler Firepower: Based on the Dodge Viper supercar, Chrysler's Firepower concept vehicle combines performance, elegance and value. Its Hemi V-8 engine, along with top-caliber materials and detailing, provide strong performance with an equally strong luxury appeal. The sweeping body is accented with carbon fiber and polished aluminum, while the interior brims with fine art Firepower leather and maple accents. A five-speed automatic transmission equipped with Chrysler's AutoStick feature adds to the driving enjoyment.
During World War II and until about 1968, the trend of development for firepower turned away from further development of guns, emphasis being placed on recoilless weapons and rockets with their greater firepower and mobility and their reduced logistical needs. By about 1968, however, cannon and shell of advanced de-iign were being reintroduced for many purposes.
GUNNERY is the science and art of handling guns to secure the maximum effectiveness from available firepower. For centuries man had fought his battles at close range until the advent of gunpowder forced him to stand off at greater distances. As ranges of weapons increased and targets moved more rapidly, the gunnery problem became more complex. The gunner required better aiming equipment to exploit the greater ranges of which his weapons were capable. Better fire-control equipment was developed to supplement the eye, the brain, and iron sights. |
