The US should make clear it will defend Taiwan against Chinese invasion
The US policy of ambiguity toward Taiwan is now fostering instability in the Indo-Pacific region

The Richardson Industries Model 5, marketed as the Philippine Guerilla Gun, was an American single-shot shotgun
The M5 was basically just a hunk of wood with a barrel on it. The gun lacked a trigger, hammer, extractor, safety, magazine, choke tubes, iron sights, or rifling. The wood used to make the stock felt like a mid-grade 2x4 piece of wood. The barrel was basically a smoothbore steel tube, while the trigger was nothing much more than a slightly larger guide tube with a fixed "firing pin" in the rear. To load the gun, the barrel was pulled out, and a 12 gauge shell was loaded into it. The barrel would then be put back in the receiver. Firing the weapon requires the user to slam the barrel rearward fairly hard; the fixed firing pin hits the primer and fires the gun.
