about the caseless ammunition of the LSAT program the LSAT Program Lightweight Small Arms Technologies LSAT caseless ammunition is caseless ammunition produced as part of the U.S. Army s Lightweight Small Arms Technologies LSAT program. Although less advanced in development than the other ammunition component of the program, the caseless round has already produced its own outstanding results. Having replicated Dynamit Nobel s Advanced Combat Rifle ACR ammunition, the HITP High Ignition Temperature Propellant it is hexogen octogen based to decrease heat sensitivity based ammunition was modified to a 5.56 mm round.

Despite being the founder of a successful business based on preparing for a wide range of standardized tests including the SAT , ACT examination ACT , Graduate Management Admission Test GMAT , Graduate Record Examination GRE , Law School Admission Test LSAT , and MCAT , Katzman is an outspoken critic of the modern preoccupation with standardized testing, and has argued that many tests are no better indicator of achievement in the relevant fields than grades and scores on other tests such as the Advanced Placement exams that students already complete. He is often invited to speak on topics related to education and the measurement of academic achievement. In 2008, John founded 2tor, Inc ., a private company that partners with preeminent institutions of higher education to deliver rigorous, selective degree programs online.
