In reading the news, etc. I've come across some different forms of weaponry I'm not familiar with and I was wondering if someone could explain to me what they look like. A Nasser-3 rocket, a Shoretened M-16?(don't know if I translated it correctly), a M-14, and an AK-47. Thanks a bunch!

Found this info about the AK-47 rifle

Shortened M16

AK47

Couldn't find anything on Nasser 3 Rocket.

www.weaponsurvey.com Scroll down for information on the Nasser 3 rocket.

This is the kind of rocket Iraq's infamous 'aluminum tubes' were actually for, apparently - www.washingtonpost.com

I couldn't find a picture of the Nasser-3 Rocket, but this website gives the following description of it:

Nasser- 3

The 30 kilogram Nasser-3, an advanced version of the Qassam-class short-range missile, is manufactured by the the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and can achieve a range of 6-9 kilometers (3.7-5.5 miles).

Its five kilogram standard explosive warhead is equipped with a standard fuse and contains explosives, nuts, bolts, and metal shards.

According to an IDF source, "The new warhead is much more powerful than that of the improvised Qassam 2...[guaranteeing] detonation on impact, overcoming the Qassam 2's main flaw."

The Nasser-3 is fueled by 20 kilograms of solid propellant manufactured from potassium nitrate fertilizer and powdered sugar. The missile is launched from rails mounted on a bipod. Four fins are welded to the casing to stabilize its flight.

Thanks a lot. I actually ended up seeing a Shortened M-16 right after I posted this question. Made me feel rather silly, but then again, I didn't know.
