The bill provides for the replacement of the current Act on Arms and Ammunition with a new statute containing, inter alia, more detailed definitions of types of weapons, changes regarding the system of issuing weapon permits and new rules on the location of shooting ranges. The author has reservations about the constitutionality of the proposed use, in the criminal provisions, of references to entire chapters of the bill, which may make it impossible to clearly define what behaviour will constitute a criminal offence.

Pyrotechnic delay elements owing to their simple structure and reliability are very often used as part of the design of ammunition. Their basic task consists in generating a specified delay between the respective actions of two elements/systems, required to ensure the safe and reliable work of ammunition. The paper presents laboratory methods employed for testing the performance of pyrotechnic delay elements (PDEs) used in means of combat. The introductory part describes pyrotechnical delay elements and the task fulfilled by them in ammunition. The next part discusses performance parameters of pyrotechnic delay elements, decisive for their proper operation, and factors influencing such operation. In its main part the article presents the standard defining the laboratory methods to be employed for testing pyrotechnic delay elements. According to the above-mentioned standard, the laboratory methods of testing pyrotechnic delay elements can be divided into tests in the open and closed systems. Further, the paper discusses both types of test systems. Taking account of a wide thematic scope of the discussed issue, this article focuses mainly on presenting new methods of testing pyrotechnic delay elements, which have not been mentioned in the standard. Provided examples of tests of pyrotechnic delay elements have been taken from the Polish and foreign literature. Two methods of testing pyrotechnic delay elements are worth paying special attention, one making use of a thermal imaging camera, and the other relying on Roentgen radiation.

The modern market for personal protection devices has brought about such challenges as the need to phrase legal regulations regarding possession and use of such devices. The aim of the study is to answer the questions whether RAM devices are firearms and whether they are weapons at all within the meaning of the Act of 21 May 1999 on weapons and ammunition. On the way to achieve this goal, a thorough analysis of the translation of the detailed charac- terisation of RAM devices into specific definitions of the Act in question is used. The result of the author’s research is the conclusion that RAM devices are neither weapons nor firearms within the meaning of Polish legislation. Furthermore, the article provides a number of legal consequences resulting from such research conclusions, e.g. no obligation to undergo medi- cal or psychological examinations by a potential RAM device owner.

Firearms, ammunition, incapacitating sprays, and certain tools and devices with the potential to pose a risk to health or life, may only be possessed with a weapons licence issued by a competent authority. Firearms licences are both issued and revoked as administrative decisions. A revocation decision must meet the general requirements for this type of administrative act, and also specify the applicable legal grounds. When a negative decision is issued, resulting in a right being taken away (such as firearms licence revocation), special consideration should be given to the grounds, making it clear why the authority chose to take such a decision. Pursuant to the generally applicable administrative procedure laws, a statement of factual grounds should, in particular, specify the facts the court considered proven, including the underlying evidence, provide the reasons why the court dismissed other evidence as implausible, and inconclusive, and state the legal reasons for the decision, including references to the relevant laws.

Jednym z czynników decydujących o losach batalii wojennych jest przygotowanie logistyczne. W artykule wyłożono sytuację wojska polskiego w zakresie zaopatrzenia w amunicję, żywność, paliwo, sprzęt i inne materiały w trakcie przygotowań i podczas Bitwy nad Wisłą. Na podstawie literatury, a zwłaszcza dokumentów zgromadzonych w Centralnym Archiwum Wojskowym Wojskowego Biura Historycznego (CAW/WBH) odtworzone zostały warunki w jakich tworzono system zaopatrzenia wojsk w czasie, kiedy trwał odwrót i ewakuacja przed napierającą Armią Czerwoną. Szczególny nacisk został położony na funkcjonowanie kolei, zaopatrzenie w amunicję, oraz przygotowania do obrony przedmościa Warszawy. Niewielka odległość od źródeł zaopatrzenia na pole bitwy oraz dobra organizacja transportu podczas batalii przyczyniły się w wielkim stopniu do historycznego zwycięstwa wojsk polskich.

Logistic preparation is one of the factors determining the fate of war battles. The article presents the situation of the Polish army in the supply of ammunition, food, fuel, equipment and other materials during preparation and during the Battle of the Vistula itself. Based on the literature, and especially the documents collected in the Central Military Archive of the Military Historical Office, the conditions in which the army supply system was organized during the retreat and evacuation in the face of the advancing Red Army were reconstructed. Particular emphasis was placed on the operation of the railway, supply of ammunition, and preparations for defending the outskirts of Warsaw. The short distance between sources of supply and places of fighting, as well as good organization of transport during the battle, contributed greatly to the historic victory of the Polish army

Pozwoleniem na broń, które najtrudniej w Polsce zdobyć jest pozwolenie na broń do ochrony osobistej. Główną przesłanką odrzucającą większość wniosków w wydziale postępowań administracyjnych Komend Wojewódzkich Policji jest zapis o udokumentowaniu stałego, realnego i ponadprzeciętnego zagrożenia życia, zdrowia i/lub mienia. Kwestia właściwego udokumentowania nie jest taka oczywista.

EN

The most difficult weapon permit to obtain in Poland is a permit for a weapon for personal protection. The leading cause of the rejection of most applications in the administrative proceedings department of the provincial police head quarters is the requirement to document a constant, relative and above-average threat to life, health and/or property. The question of proper documentation is not so clear cut.

Artykuł dotyczy zagadnienia pozyskiwania materiałów wojennych, w tym broni, amunicji i sprzętu wojskowego dla Wojska Polskiego, w pierwszej fazie wojny polsko‑sowieckiej. W tekście przedstawiono okoliczności i przyczyny powstania Polskiej Wojskowej Misji Zakupów w Paryżu oraz scharakteryzowano początkowy okres (marzec-kwiecień 1919) działalności Misji na terenie Francji. W tym czasie organizowano i rozwijano pierwsze struktury Misji, a także z dużą intensywnością badano faktyczne możliwości pozyskania materiału wojennego dla rozbudowywanej polskiej armii. Autor przedstawia istotne informacje na temat pierwotnego składu osobowego Misji, sposobu realizacji pierwszych dużych zakupów od Francji, USA i Włoch oraz organizacji wysyłki transportów z Francji do Polski. W artykule przedstawiono również najnowsze ustalenia w zakresie ilości materiałów wojennych pozyskanych przez PWMZ w Paryżu.

The article touches upon a weighty theme of acquiring military materiel for the Polish Armed Forces during the initial phase of the Polish‑Soviet War, including military uniforms, weaponry, and ammunition. In the article, reasons for and circumstances accompanying the establishment of the Polish Military Purchases Mission in Paris are presented along with characteristics of the initial period of the institution’s activity in France in March and April of 1919. Over this period, first administrative structures of the mission were developed and a very intense search for genuine possibilities of obtaining military materiel took place with the aim of enlargement of Polish military forces. The author provides valid information regarding personal composition of the Mission, the manner in which first large purchases were carried out in France, USA, and Italy, as well as the organization of the materiel’s shipment from France to Poland.
