What cement admixtures would help bullet resistance?

I would like to build a composite metal deck in a new ICF house. The steel deck will be supported by Watkins hangers and steel joists, which are very strong. However I would like to keep the weight of the concrete to a moderate level, so I am investigating admixtures to improve bullet resistance to pistol rounds, .223, and 7.62x39 ammo.

Normally 8" of concrete is needed, I am hoping to have good bullet resistance in 4" or less. Any recommendations? The house is in a very nice neighborhood, I am mostly thinking of a "what if" situation and trying to be prepared.

Israel Bans United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA); Defies Biden-Harris


Israel’s parliament, or Knesset, passed a law Monday banning the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) from operating in the country and restricting its operations in the West Bank and in Gaza.

UNRWA was established by the United Nations to care for the needs of refugees from the war launched by Arab states against Israel in 1948. It caters to millions of Palestinians, but also incubates extreme anti-Israel ideology.

UNRWA staffers have been directly involved in terror attacks against Israel, including the October 7 attack. One recent case involved a UNRWA employee who was responsible for the mass murder of Israeli civilians hiding in a bomb shelter.

The Jerusalem Post reported:
“UNRWA long ago ceased to be a humanitarian aid agency, but in addition to it being an integral supporter of terror and hate, is an agency to eternalize poverty and suffering. The rationale is simple – in order to survive, UNRWA created demand for the product it provides. The circle of horror ended today, they are out!” [Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Yuli Edelstein] concluded.

The first bill states that UNRWA will no longer “operate any institution, provide any service, or conduct any activity, whether directly or indirectly,” in Israel.

The second bill states that the treaty between Israel and UNRWA, signed following the Six Day War in 1967, will expire within seven days of the bill passing its final voting in the Knesset plenum; that no Israeli government agencies or representatives may contact UNRWA or a representative of it, beginning three months after the bill passes; that criminal proceedings into UNRWA employees’ involvement in acts of terror will continue; and that Israel’s National Security Council must report to the committee every six months regarding the bill’s implementation.

The Times of Israel noted that the Biden-Harris administration opposed the legislation and urged Israel not to implement it. The administration earlier threatened an arms embargo if Israel did not work with UNRWA in Gaza.

SOLD 13rd extended AW magazines

What’s for sale?​

These magazines are modified factory AI AW magazines adapted to use the Area 419 extension to safely fit 13 rounds - you’ll notice that unlike some other designs the bottom of the mag is now level rather than angled. 14 rounds can be stuffed into the magazine and still function, but is harsher on the spring and geometry looks to be less ideal.

These were made for me by another member; the process involves irrevocably modifying the factory magazine body so these must be used as seen there is no going back. Tested to feed with .308 Win and 6.5 CM, profiled to fit MDT’s ACC Elite chassis and M5 Precision DBM. Fed in my Coup de Grace without issue, buttery smooth. All have been tested for function, though clearly one has a few more cycles on it. Can’t guarantee they work with shorter rounds or other chassis/DBM models due to latch design etc.

What it cost?​

$160 per mag plus shipping of your choice and speed. Electronic no-fee payment accepted (Zelle preferred), USPS money orders, bank check or wire, personal checks too (shipping held).

Report: Brace for ‘Unrest’ if Donald Trump Wins, Democrats Warn


Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy.

“I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson.

Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:

Across America, more than a dozen progressives in various positions of influence told The Wall Street Journal that they are dreading the prospect of Trump’s return to power, and dismayed that half the country might see a completely different reality than they see. Some are bracing for unrest. On a recent evening, more than 200 people joined a Zoom meeting titled Mass Training For Women’s Safety Teams—hosted by a Women’s March veteran who noted its timing amid “escalating political violence.”
Others are channeling their nervousness into action: They are planning to attend Women’s Marches scheduled in Washington and beyond on the Saturday before the election. In Boston, they are joining pill-packing parties, where volunteers fill boxes with abortion kits to mail to women in red states with strict limits. “We feel like we’re doing something,” said Erin Gately, a 47-year-old physician assistant who last time took to the streets to protest after Trump’s election, but says this time she would focus on tangible actions like protecting reproductive rights.

Laurie Woodward García, a South Florida activist, founded People Power United during Trump’s presidency to champion progressive causes, and, in her words, “stand up to fascism.” Her biweekly online seminars, some scheduled for after the election, explore the consequences if a President Trump were to enact Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda he has distanced himself from. Each session has drawn about 500 viewers.

“We’ve looked at different countries,” Melissa Fiero, a Democrat activist told the Journal. “I really think it’s going to be that bad if he wins.”

Halperin described how some Democrats might react, outside of violence, if Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris. “It will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,” Halperin told Carlson:

I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like. And I think that it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals. I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace, … I think there’ll be alcoholism. There’ll be broken marriages.


FAFO!

Rings marks on fired brass

I just finished building a 6.5cm with zermatt origin action/26" proof ss prefit. I loaded up a few 5 shot groups with H4350 (36.0gr/36.5gr/37.0gr/37.5gr) and hornady 140gr eld match in once fired hornady 6.5cm brass (There's only 20rds through the barrel before shooting these groups). The shoulder was bumped back 1 thou. I shot the first 3 charge weights but didn't continue bc I noticed that all the fired brass had a scuff looking ring around them (It's not raised up or at least not enough to feel super noticeable) and that's not to be confused with the darker ring below that near the base from the resizing die. Recommended max charge weight is 40.0gr and i stopped at 37.0. Other than the rings the brass looks fine. Primers look good. Anyone know what would cause this mark? Does it mean something bad is happening or dangerous?
