Firearms and military cheat sheets

The firearms pages are reference tables: caliber ballistics with the history and the arguments, the current pistol, rifle and shotgun landscape, and a set of scored concealed-carry drills with exact courses of fire and par times so practice has a number attached. The loadout page documents what SWAT entry teams, special forces and paramedics actually carry, by role.

The military pages are about where the technology is going: counter-drone systems, collaborative combat aircraft and loitering munitions on one page, the systems-of-systems view of future warfare on another, and a collection of tactical aphorisms with their sources.

Every sheet here is produced by a governed Claude Code pipeline: a version-controlled spec as acceptance criteria, primary-source research, a self-verification gate, and a public git audit trail. Read how it is built or browse the source on GitHub.
