In this deep-dive episode of the No Lowballers Podcast, hosts Logan Metesh of High Caliber History and Allen Forkner of GunBroker.com welcome researcher Justin Baird for a fascinating look at one of the most underrated rifles in U.S. history—the Krag-Jørgensen—and the two men who made it possible. More than just another bolt-action military rifle, the Krag-Jørgensen carries a story rooted in international innovation, unexpected design breakthroughs, and a friendship forged in engineering. From Ole Krag's privileged upbringing and passion for machinery to Erik Jørgensen's humble beginnings on a Norwegian farm, we explore how two very different men came together to revolutionize magazine-fed firearms in the late 19th century. Justin walks us through their backgrounds, their collaboration, and how their rifle went on to be adopted not just by Denmark and Norway, but also by the United States—becoming America's first smokeless powder service rifle. The episode also unpacks how myths around Krag "stealing" credit from Jørgensen persist to this day, despite their genuine partnership. Key Topics Discussed: The Origins of Ole Krag and Erik Jørgensen:Learn how one was the son of a prominent clergyman and the other the child of a rural blacksmith—and how their paths converged at Kongsberg's state arsenal in Norway. Innovation Through Cooperation:Justin explains how Krag's early designs and Jørgensen's mechanical skill merged to create a modular magazine system that would reshape military arms trials across Europe and the U.S. The Capsule Magazine That Changed Everything:Why Krag's “half capsule” design appealed to the Danish military, how it evolved, and how its quirks shaped the future of combat shooting strategies. Adoption in America:How U.S. Army trials led to the adoption of the Krag-Jørgensen, the tailored changes that made it uniquely American, and why it was eventually phased out in favor of the 1903 Springfield. The Krag-Jørgensen Company's Rise—and Fall:The lucrative U.S. contract that kept the company alive, the Sultan of Turkey's surprise offer, and how it all came crashing down when both money and momentum ran out. Tragedy and Legacy:The untimely death of Erik Jørgensen and the public speculation that followed. Justin shares how Krag spent the rest of his life defending Jørgensen's role in their joint success.

I denne RumNyt kommer vi igen vidt omkring. Vi følger op på både SpinLaunch og Biomass, hører om mærkelige exoplaneter om brune dværgstjerne, rumfartøjer der skal transportere ting ned fra kredsløb, og vender også kort balladen om molekylerne på K2-18b, der måske og måske ikke er tegn på liv. I vores hovedhistorie sætter vi fokus på rumstationer og fremtiden for mere eller mindre permamente ophold i kredsløb om Jorden. Vi er blandt andet blevet inspireret af besætningsskiftet på den kinesiske Tiangong-rumstation for nylig, men ser også på status for ISS og på nogle af de kommercielle projekter, der er under udvikling.

Gjennom flere episoder har vi fortalt historien om "Kongen av Kongsberg". En tidligere høyt ansett politimann, som angivelig ikke har gått av veien for å svindle, bedra og utnytte venner, familie, tidligere kollegaer, ansatte og det offentlige Norge i over 20 år. I denne podkastserien skal vi igjen tilbake til Kongsberg. Hva har skjedd siden vi først avdekket forholdene i det lille Kongeriket i Buskerud i 2023?Ansvarlig redaktør for Batong Media er Stein Morten Lier

Hva skjer når samfunnet slutter å romme vår naturlige skepsis og nysgjerrighet?I denne episoden skal vi se på hvordan det er å ytre sine meninger når disse ikke er “mainstream” eller følger myndigheter, og samfunnet reagerer med sosial kontroll. Du får møte to mennesker som har opplevd dette på kroppen i Svein Østvik og Julia Benito, som deler sine reiser i møte med samfunnets tyranni. Gjennom hele verdenshistorien har vi møtt på usikkerheter der vår naturlige skepsis og nysgjerrighet har vært viktige verktøy for å sikre at vi håndterer dem godt. Derfor ønsker vi at media skal holde myndigheter og de med makt under oppsyn, fordi historien er like fylt av mennesker med makt som misbruker den til egen vinning. Fordi de som ytrer skepsis og nysgjerrighet mot narrativer fra makta, kan fort undertrykkes og skambelegges, spesielt under parolen - “nå skal vi redde liv”, og alle må falle “in line”. Hør hvordan Svein Østvik opplevde det som kan kalles en “heksejakt” på ham, men også hvordan Julia Benito som ledet en mediekanal med alternative narrativer, opplevde å bli stemplet som “konspirasjonsteoretikere”.Sammen med Jimmy ser Svein Østvik og Julia Benito på mekanismene som dukket opp under pandemien, men også hvordan de samme mekanismene er å se på matvareindustrien, medisin og mye annet. De ser på både de menneskelige sidene ved denne negative sosiale kontrollen, men også det store bildet av hvordan dette skader oss som samfunn.Svein Østvik vokste opp på Kongsberg med idrettsambisjoner, før han gikk teaterlinja på Romerike Folkehøgskole og jobbet på Black Box teater i Oslo. Han var artist og konsertarrangør i et managementbyrå før han i 2006 ble kjent gjennom dokusåpen Charterfeber, som gjorde ham til rikskjendis. I årene etterpå deltok han i flere programmer og fortsatte å være i medias søkelys. I 2021 deltok Svein i en demonstrasjon mot koronarestriksjoner, der flere brente sitt munnbind for å vise skepsis mot myndighetenes håndtering av pandemien. Han stilte seg kritisk til hvorfor hastevaksiner ble tvunget på oss og løftet opp den manglende dialogen rundt alternativ behandling. I disse dager er han ute med et nytt teaterstykke, “Unnskyld” - som tar opp om det å stille spørsmål er en trussel eller en demokratisk styrke?Julia Schreiner Benito er i dag journalist i Helsemagasinet, og hun var tidligere redaktør i Helse, Mat & Livsstil – hemali.no og før dette i nettmagasinet Caluna. Hun er utdannet fra Journalisthøyskolen ved Oslo Met og Sydney University. Under pandemien uttrykte hun seg som en av motstemmene, for å sette fokus på det hun mener er ubalansert konsensus, ikke minst hos riksmediene. Julia etterlyste mer analyse, nyanse og dybde i fremstillingen av pandemien generelt, og spesielt vaksiner som eneste løsning. Hun var ikke motstander av vaksiner generelt, men hun etterlyste mer kunnskap om vaksinene mot Covid-19.God lytting!Vi trenger din hjelp for å fortsette å lage Hverdagspsyken!

Europäische Rüstungsaktien im Fokus: Lohnt der Einstieg jetzt noch? Die Zeitenwende ist da – Europa investiert Milliarden in Verteidigung! Doch welche Unternehmen profitieren wirklich? Ist es überhaupt moralisch vertretbar, in Rüstung oder Verteidigung zu investieren? Tobias Kramer und Christian W. Röhl (Chief Economist Scalable Capital) diskutieren in dieser Folge von echtgeld.tv zunächst ihre unterschiedlichen Einstellungen zu Rüstungsinvestments, zeichnen dann aber ein gemeinsames, sehr synchrones Bild des massiv veränderten geopolitischen Rahmenbedingungen. Danach geht es ums Investieren, und dabei sprechen sie über vier thematisch passende ETF-Angebote und über nach einem Screening infrage kommende Einzelwerte aus Europa. Rheinmetall, BAE Systems, Thales, Leonardo und Kongsberg sind bei diesen Final Five dabei, unter anderem Hensoldt, RENK oder Rolls Royce aber nicht! Die jeweiligen Gründe gibt's im Video.

Under årets første litteraturkafé snakket bibliotekar Thea Bellen Haflan om bøker ansatte på Kongsberg bibliotek IKKE anbefaler. Vi pleier å presentere bøker vi har lest og ønsker å anbefale, men denne gangen samlet vi en liste med bøker vi IKKE anbefaler av forskjellige grunner. MEN Thea prøvde å vise hvorfor du kanskje har lyst til å lese de allikevel. Vi er jo så heldige at vi har mange forskjellige lesere her på biblioteket, også blant oss ansatte. Så en bok som en ikke liker, er det en annen som er glad i, og det er veldig spennende! God lytt!

På 1600-tallet var Norge et land som stort sett eksporterte trær og fisk. Men alt skulle endre seg da skinnende steiner ble funnet på en liten gård ved Numedalslågen. Med ett tok det lille land i nord et viktig steg mot også å bli en storstilt eksportør av ikke-organiske grunnstoffer - og det hele startet med sølvutvinning i det som raskt fikk navnet Kongsberg. Sølv er ikke bare et fantastisk grunnstoff som gjør det ettertrakten i alt fra solceller til smykker. Det har vært med mennesket i årtusener og gitt rot til både stor rikdom og blodig konflikt. Men mest av alt er det altså kanskje selve symbolet på hvordan Norge startet sin reise til å bli en nasjon formet av rikdommen vi finner under jordas overflate.I denne episoden besøker vi selveste Bergstaden og får selskap i studio fra gelog Kåre Kullerud og historiker Bjørn Ivar Berg (hva ellers?) samt en flott omvisning langt inne i berget med museumspedagog Bjørnar Sandvold.

Unusually, we can start with two pieces of positive news. On August 22, Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy announced that the government will spend $850 million on a factory in Newcastle that will produce Naval Strike Missiles and Joint Strike Missiles. These come from Norwegian company Kongsberg and will drastically improve the anti-ship capabilities of the ADF. This follows a decision to also manufacture GMLRS rounds locally for Army's HIMARS launchers. After a slow start the GWEO is developing some momentum. On the next day, Defence Minister Richard Marles opened Hanwha's armoured vehicle centre of excellence near Avalon airport. It will build Huntsman 155mm Self Propelled Howitzers and tracked Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles – another positive for Australian manufacturing. Finally, the 3-way technology sharing agreement between the US, UK and Australia is already showing some major deficiencies. No surprise there. Hosted on Acast.

Det var et stort spørsmål om Breivik var tilregnelig eller ikke. I rettssaken om Oslo-skytingen 25. juni 2022 som startet opp i mars, vil tilregnelighet bli et tema. Kongsberg-drapene med pil og bue ble gjort av en som var utilregnelig. Og nå er saken til Manshaus gjenopptatt på grunn av utilregnelighet.Så disse vurderingene av tilregnelighet og utilregnelighet gjøres hele tiden, og i mange av våre store og grufulle saker. Hvorfor har vi slike regler? Og hvorfor har strafferesttseksperter ropt varsku etter at vi fikk nye regler om dette for noen år siden? Og vil reglene bli mer forståelige nå som Høyesterett har sett på spørsmålet i to nye avgjørelser? Forsvarer Frode Sulland har lenge vært engasjert i dette temaet og forteller mer om reglene om utilregnelighet og de nye høyesterettsavgjørelsene i denne episoden. Høyesterettsavgjørelsene er HR-2023-1242-A og HR-2023-1243-A.Mer om utilregnelighet med Frode Sulland og rettspsykiater Randi Rosenqvist i episode 128 og 130.
