Why 9mm Pistols Took Over: The Engineering Choices That Changed Everything
Modern 9mm pistols never became dominant due to one breakthrough. The conquest was by a pile of engineering choices some within the cartridge, some within the pistol, and a great many within the interfaces between the two.
What is then provided is a technical examination of the design decisions which...
Starliner’s Next ISS Run: 9 Engineering Fault Lines NASA Must Close
The initial crewed test by Starliner was to be a short proving flight. Rather, propulsion anomalies made it a months long case study in engineering that now informs all decisions regarding the next activity of the spacecraft. The future of NASA continues to put the focus on the same...
10 Legendary 9mm Pistols That Earned Trust and Became Icons
The 9x19mm cartridge has survived periods of dogma, content and production. The same balancing act that made it popular in the first place is what still keeps it at the core of handgun engineering: controllable recoil and useful capacity in platforms which can be carried, trained on and maintained...
