Hot rods
A word that refers to the unique American car tuning culture that began in the 1930s and the tuning cars that were born as a result of it. Also known as the Rat Rod.
In a narrow sense, it refers to a high-output, large -displacement engine tuned only with an unimaginable level of 'torque' and 'direct speed' , and an open structure frame based on retro cars made before the 1960s . Broadly speaking, it can be used to include all cars and motorcycles that have undergone extreme tuning to focus on straight lines in order to participate in American drag races .
It can be seen as one of the detailed concepts of vehicle restoration .

1.2. origin
The origin of the term hot rod is still controversial among hobbyists and automobile historians, but two hypotheses are being discussed in the 21st century. Among them, the theory of the origin of the criminal term is the majority theory supported by many.
- Theory of origin of criminal term: In the early days of the automobile industry, there were no proper devices to identify individual vehicles.[1] Because the types of vehicles produced were limited, it was easy to piece together parts, so if you stole a car, painted it with homemade paint, tinkered with the engine and surrounding parts, and then changed the license plate to a wild one, there was no way to know whose car it was. In addition, due to the influence of Prohibition , which was enacted at the right time in the 1920s, the demand for high-performance cars that could safely transport bootleg liquor while avoiding police cars increased, and existing car criminals and the mafia with similar interests colluded to create 'hot rod', one of the criminal slang meaning 'stolen vehicle'.[2] It appears that the foundation for the tuning car style has been laid.[3]
- The theory of the origin of the tuning term: When trying to change the camshaft to a tuning shop special order version rather than a genuine version, the product was commonly called a 'hot stick' or 'hot rod', and this is believed to be the origin of the word hot rod .
1.3. Detail
Whatever the origin, the hot rod style began to take root in earnest in the 1950s. Veteran engineers who had accumulated a lot of mechanical expertise through two World Wars poured into society in large numbers, and after the end of World War II, when small military runways were freed from government management and became vacant lot-like, drag racing began . This is because engineers who were interested in automobiles took center stage, and the tuning car market took off. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica , in the early 1950s , after a period of stability, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and the American Hot Rod Association (AHRA) were organized, laying the foundation for today's professional drag racing. It can be seen that the hot rod style became organized and systematized starting in the late 1940s .[4]
However, in the 1960s, automobile companies began to strategically release muscle cars , and their popularity began to wane. This was because they could achieve similar performance to existing hot rods by simply purchasing the ones that were made. However, it seemed like the focus of the tuning market had shifted to muscle cars, but after the first oil shock in 1973 , automobile manufacturing methods changed rapidly to create cars with good fuel efficiency and low environmental pollution, and there were a lot of cars with high engine displacement but poor acceleration performance. As a result, the hot rod style became popular again. Of course, due to the well-maintained straight roads of the American continent and the nature of drag races, these were still 'straight-forward' vehicles that did not care about cornering, but after the oil shock, they not only required power, but also fuel efficiency and overall As some attention was paid to balance, hot rods for general driving called 'street rods' emerged as a trend. At this point, hot rods were not simply a manic tuning style exclusively for racing, but a trend in tuning culture that could be applied even to real life. It becomes established as.
Hot rods in this broad sense have become popular again in the late 2010s. As technology has been developed, fewer harmful components of exhaust gas have been released, and more engines have improved performance. This is because environmentally friendly tuning of old vehicles has improved performance, making them more likely to fall into the category of hot rods. In this case, it also includes cases of changing to an eco-friendly engine with the permission of the country to satisfy the emission rating system regulations in Korea. In fact, on the Ministry of Environment's FAQ bulletin board, a reply was posted saying that if a diesel engine of Euro 3 or lower is replaced with a diesel or gasoline engine of Euro 4 or higher standards , it is recognized as a low-emission vehicle. At this time, if the work is done while maintaining the interior and exterior of the original as much as possible, it can also fall into the genre called 'Restomod. Restore+Modification'.

2. charge supercharged
The act of supercharging a firearm/artillery. This supercharged ammunition is called hot loaded ammunition.
This act is actually a dangerous act of suicide that takes the gunner's life. When the supercharged charge is crushed and explodes, an explosion occurs, resulting in injury to the gunner or death of all personnel in the gun, stage, or turret. Therefore, if you encounter an armored vehicle or a tochka during battle, but the first shot fails to penetrate, and you are unable to kill the enemy in front of you right away, you will die, and for the purpose of one-time increase in penetration, you will be killed. This should never be done except to make an improvised bag by removing part of the charge or adding it to an existing charge bag or cartridge. Of course, even in such cases, if possible, priority should be given to using bullets with better penetrating power. In particular, if the old gun barrel and bolt (closer in the case of a gun) have not been replaced or if the part has been discontinued, it should not be used as it is unknown whether it will withstand even a certain amount of pressure . Even in cases where the gun's design shape and quality control are not properly performed, the operating part of the gun may be damaged.
