Whois & Analysis for magpul.com

A firearm is a portable gun - a barreled weapon that launches one or more projectiles, often driven by the action of an explosive force.

The first primitive firearms originated in 13th-century China when the one-person-portable fire lance was combined with projectiles.

The technology gradually spread through the rest of East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and then into Europe.

Older firearms typically used black powder as a propellant, but modern firearms use smokeless powder or other propellants.

Most modern firearms (with the notable exception of smoothbore shotguns) have rifled barrels to impart spin to the projectile for improved flight stability.

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical energy electrically, in which the electrons have a fundamental role.

Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, associated passive electrical components, and interconnection technologies.

Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit.

Manufacturing is the value added to production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation.

The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.

Such finished goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers.

Industry is the production of goods or related services within an economy.

The major source of revenue of a group or company is the indicator of its relevant industry.

When a large group has multiple sources of revenue generation, it is considered to be working in different industries.

Manufacturing industry became a key sector of production and labour in European and North American countries during the Industrial Revolution, upsetting previous mercantile and feudal economies.

This came through many successive rapid advances in technology, such as the production of steel and coal.

In economics, any commodity which is produced and subsequently consumed by the consumer, to satisfy its current wants or needs, is a consumer good or final good.

Consumer goods are goods that are ultimately consumed rather than used in the production of another good.

For example, a microwave oven or a bicycle which is sold to a consumer is a final good or consumer good, whereas the components which are sold to be used in those goods are called intermediate goods.

For example, textiles or transistors which can be used to make some further goods.
