Gunmetal
Gunmetal, also known as red brass in the United States, is a type of bronze – an alloy of copper (85%), tin (5%), and zinc (5%), and lead (5%). Originally used chiefly for making guns, gunmetal was eventually superseded by steel. Gunmetal casts and machines well, is resistant to corrosion from steam and salt water, and is used to make steam and hydraulic castings, valves, and gears, and also statues and various small objects, e.g. buttons. It has a tensile strength of 221 to 310 MPa, a specific gravity of 8.7, a density 8,719 kg/m3, and a Brinell hardness of 65 to 74.
Variants
Gunmetal (video game)
Gunmetal is a first person shooter video game for the PC. It was developed and distributed by Mad Genius Software in 1998.
Story
The game takes place 300 years in the future. The world is completely controlled by corporations, and the concept of nation is unknown.
The player takes on the role of a newly hired security guard for the Nataka Corporation, a multi-planet organization patterned loosely after mid-20th century Conglomerates such as Siemens A.G., Sara Lee, or General Electric.
The game starts with the outpost suddenly being attacked by enemy forces from Network 53, a branch of the Argus Industrial Corporation and a long-standing ally. Later, the Argus Corporation starts creating a destructive virus, the Keller virus.
The Keller virus quickly assumes control of all other Remote-Piloted Vehicles (RPV's) and many other electronics nearby. As the player was not in the Headquarters while the infection attacked, he is not affected. Following this, the war against the Keller virus takes place. A sole remaining technician named Pamela Lang helps the player travel to where he is needed.

Moses (given name)
Moses or Moshe is a male given name, after the biblical figure Moses.
According to the Torah, the name "Moses" comes from the Hebrew verb, meaning "to pull/draw out" [of water], and the infant Moses was given this name by Pharaoh's daughter after rescuing him from the Nile (Exodus 2:10). Some scholars have suggested that the name was derived from the Egyptian word for "son" rather than from Hebrew.
