MSG / MCESG History

DETEX CLOCK - DETEX Watchman's Clock (DETEX WATCHCLOCK)
Made in the USA, the Detex Newman Watchclock was first introduced in 1927.
MSGs made their rounds every hour and had to turn the key attached to the station so that the hour was recorded on a piece of paper that later could be printed out.

PHOTO: M234 Riot Control Launcher - The M234 Riot Control Launcher (M16-series rifle attachment firing an M755 blank round). It fires either the M734 64 mm Kinetic Riot Control or the M742 64 mm CSI Riot Control Ring Airfoil Projectiles. The latter produces a 4 to 5-foot tear gas cloud on impact. The main advantage to using Ring Airfoil Projectiles is that their design does not allow them be thrown back by rioters with any real effect. The M234 is no longer used by U.S. forces. It has been replaced by the M203 grenade launcher and nonlethal ammunition.
