Wainwright Of the comparatively little known about Henry Nock, much has come from the research and writings of Howard L. Blackmore. In 1955 and 1956, he submitted articles to the “Journal of the Arms and Armour Society.” The first was enti- tled The Seven Barreled Guns of Henry Nock and the sec- ond, The Experimental Arms of Henry Nock. These two monographs later formed the backbone of Chapter V of his seminal work, “British Military Firearms 1650–1850” first published in 1961. Chapter V was the only one of twelve devoted to a single gunmaker. The 1956 article started out with the statement: “Arms historians have dealt shamefully with that great London gunmaker, Henry Nock. Credit for the invention of a gun has been given him when he was no more than the maker, and conversely, the lock which he worked so hard to an engineer and tool and gauge maker as well as an experi- perfect has been denied him.”1 menter, innovator, inventor, successful businessman and as The “gun” in question illustrated in Figure 1 is, of we shall see later a remarkably enlightened employer. course, the seven barrel volley gun “invented” by one James Born in 1741, he became a gun locksmith at a time Wilson who was paid for his idea, though it was improved when the Crown for the most part bought locks, stocks and upon and made in quantity by Nock.

  • A Short History of Firearms
    Foundation for European Societies of Arms Collectors A short history of firearms Prepared for FESAC by: , ing. Jaś van Driel FARE consultants P.O. box 22276 3003 DG Rotterdam the Netherlands [email protected] Firearms, a short history The weapon might well be man’s earliest invention. Prehistoric man picked up a stick and lashed out at something or someone. This happened long before man learned to harness fire or invented the wheel. The invention of the weapon was to have a profound impact on the development of man. It provided the third and fourth necessities of life, after air and water: food and protection. It gave prehistoric man the possibility to hunt animals that were too big to catch by hand and provided protection from predators, especially the greatest threat of all: his fellow man. The strong man did not sit idly while intelligent man used the weapon he invented to match his brute force and soon came up with a weapon of his own, thus forcing intelligent man to come up with something better. The arms race had started. This race has defined the history of mankind. To deny the role that weapons in general and firearms in particular have played in deciding the course of history is like denying history itself. The early years During the Stone Age axes, knives and spears appeared and around 6000 BC the bow made its debut. This was the first weapon, after the throwing spear, that could be used at some distance from the intended target, though possibly slings also were used to hurl stones.

  • Deadlands Armory
    Rifles Part I. Muzzles, Muskets & Minié Balls Loading a Flintlock Rifle For the first part of the nineteenth century, professional armies fought with the same smooth- bore flintlock muskets as their fathers and grandfathers. It generally takes an experienced soldier between twenty and thirty seconds to properly load a flintlock musket. First, the user has to unseal his pre-measured cartridge of gunpowder, which is usually contained in a paper or linen packet which is bitten open. (Because of the salty nature of gunpowder, this builds up a terrible thirst over the course of a battle, making potable water an essential part of any armed conflict.) Once the gunpowder is poured into the muzzle, the shooter inserts the lead ball, which is encased in a lubricated bit of cloth called “wadding.” Pulling the ramrod from its forestock slot, the shooter tamps the ball home, ensuring firm contact with the propellant charge. The ramrod is then returned to the forestock—unless a panicked soldier leaves it inside the barrel, to be fired along with the bullet! To fire the musket, the hammer is pulled to half-cock. A small pinch of gunpowder is placed in the “priming pan” located on the right side of the musket. The pan is closed to secure the primer, which brings a metal flange called the “frizzen” into striking position in front of the hammer. The hammer is fully cocked, the musket is aimed, and the trigger is pulled. The hammer dashes the flint against the frizzen, simultaneously creating a spark and pushing open the pan to expose the primer.

But what if you wanted more options than bows and magic in terms of ranged combat? What if you wanted your campaign world to be set during the Age of Exploration or the Industrial Revolution and have weapons appropriate to those eras? What if you wanted a medieval setting with a technologically superior civilization having access to firearms? What if you were running a Steampunk styled game using D&D? Whatever the reason, you want firearms in your game, not the brushed over simplistic version found in the DMG, but a fleshed out system with plenty of firearms, special ammunition, and thought out customization. If so, look no further. I originally made this home-brewed firearm system for my own home game, a historically authentic game set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the early 18th century. Not only did I create a system catered to weapons of the time, I also took some historic liberties and included weapons all the way up to the mid 19th century. Not only that, but I created special ammunition for the firearms, a firearm modification system, and several different types of bombs for my players to enjoy.
