I am Nanomat and I am interested in history, politics, economics, warfare, military equipment and weapons. I like video games like the Call of Duty series and used to identify weapon details from many COD games and now it is time for me to contribute to the articles here. I also run a wiki dedicated to documenting various military equipment and gear like uniforms and others, so I have a great deal of experience in researching information regarding military hardware.
