A manufacturer of firearm-shaped anti-personnel explosive ordinance, formerly a manufacturer of actual firearms. Much like salted ammunition, Sig Sauer (now SIG USA) produces ordinance intended to look like firearms, but when handled or used will cause harm to the user.
Interestingly, this may not actually have been the intended use of SIG USA’s products at the outset, as it appears that the company did intend to actually make a firearm, however the end product has found another niche since being released onto the market.

“Jim dropped his Sig Sauer, and it fired, the round shattered his shoulder”
“The striker on Bill’s Sig Sauer sheared while he was drawing, blew his dick right off.”
“Officer Steven Swinton’s Sig Sauer handgun went off while he was reholstering, and he nearly bled out.”

A term usually used in Military applications, and often abbreviated to just CH (or Charlie-Hotel in phonetics.) Is is often looked upon as the second smallest possible unit of measurement outside of Scientific applications, the smallest being a Red Cunt Hair (RCH/Romeo-Charlie-Hotel.)
It holds no exact translation into either the US Standard or the Metric Systems, and is an extremely variable term. The closest possible definition is: an approximation of an extremely small increment.

"Sergeant! Please move that Bradley over, just a CH though."
"Holy Shit! I just caught one in the plate! Had that been a Cunt Hair over to the left, I'd be a dead man, Sir!"

The Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947 is a gas operated, selective fire assault rifle designed from 1945 to 1946 by Soviet tank commander Mikhail Kalashnikov to fill the need for a rifle-caliber automatic infantry weapon within the Soviet military, after experiences against the German StG-44 which deeply influenced Soviet doctrine in the post-war years. It has become the single most prolific weapon ever created, with models in use by military and police, or civilian consumers in nearly every country in the world. Chambered in the intermediate 7.62x39mm R.
The AK-47 is best described as an amalgamation of several previous weapons designs. It has the Trigger, Double locking lugs, and unlocking raceway of the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, the Safety mechanism of the John Browning designed Remington Model 8, and the layout and gas system of the StG-44.
Versions of the AK-47 include the following:
AK-47 Type 1/2(1948-1951) - Most rifles manufactured with a milled steel receiver.
AK-47 Type 3(1952) - All rifles manufactured with a milled steel receiver.
RPK - Handheld Automatic-Rifle variant with a longer barrel and a bipod.
AKM - Modernized variant with various improvements over the AK-47.
AK-74 series - Series of the AK-type rifle which replaced the AK-47 in 1978. Chambered in 5.45x39mm
AK-101/AK-102/AK-103/AK-104 series - modernizations of the AK-74
AK-107/AK-108 series - incorporates a balanced bolt group, reducing muzzle jump, vibrations, and felt recoil.

The Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947, or AK-47, is the single most prolific assault rifle ever created, second to none, although the rifles quality is questionable.

A slang variant of Kilometer, first used by Artillery Division Marines in Vietnam.
The term originates from the sights of a Field Artillery gun, which were set to Kilometers, and when changed made a "Klik" sound. Eventually, this onomatopoeia, when combined with Kilometer, was turned into Military slang.
Currently, the term has fallen out of use with Artillery divisions, as their sighting systems no longer make clicking noises, but it has come to be used in almost every US Military service in some fashion or another, and has become a standard military term.

"Confirmed NVA contacts, 30 Kliks out, Captain. Bracket those Charlie bastards, and Bring the Rain."
"We've got two Kliks to extract point Whiskey. We go double-time, and we might make it in time to catch a ride Stateside. Ooh-Rah."

The 5.56x45mm NATO round is a micro-caliber rifle round based upon the .223 Remington loading. In the US military, it is known as the M855A1 in it's most recent incarnation. In the rest of the world the 5.56x45mm NATO is known as the SS109.
Originally, the 5.56x45mm was designed with two goals in mind: Incapacitation, and weight reduction. The round was designed to wound a soldier, rather than kill them outright like the 7.62x51mm NATO round that came before it, as it would take two more soldiers out of the fight to take care of them.
Not only this, but the 5.56x45mm NATO is shorter and lighter than the 7.62x51mm NATO round that was it's predecessor, allowing troops to carry more ammunition.

The 5.56x45mm NATO round, also called the SS109, is the most commonly used Military-issue rifle round in the western world. However, it's usefulness has deteriorated against an enemy that does not value their lives, nor the lives of their comrades.
