No part of this work may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. 2 Introduction The British military services made considerable use of pistols during the Great War but it is evident that there is widespread ignorance and poor literary coverage of the weapons and their use. It is proposed to examine the pistol in British military service in the Great War, covering issue and use, technique and training, and procurement. Approximately half a million pistols were procured during the war, making it one of the numerically most widely issued weapons. A number of Corps, including the Machine Gun Corps, Tank Corps, and Royal Flying Corps were issued pistols as personal weapons, as well as extensive distribution in other arms. It is known that pistol use was widespread in trench warfare and critical on occasions. Decorations, including several Victoria Crosses, are recorded as being won by men using them aggressively.

Since then, more than 887 people have been killed and more than 1,578 injured by these weapons. Towns like Parkland, Las Vegas, Newtown, Aurora and San Bernardino and are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capac- ity ammunition magazines. On January 9, 2019, we introduced a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2019. This legislation, stron- ger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics. • Second, ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

    2358 SERIALIZATION SERIALIZATION This section has once again been expanded to help you identify the year of manufacture on many popular manufacturers and trademarks. To use these tables, compare your serial number(s) to the correct manufacturer and model, and ascertain which bracket it falls into based on the year of manufacture and corresponding serial number. In several cases, caliber rarity can also be determined. Date codes are now also provided on some manufacturers and countries to allow you to determine the year of manufacture by the date code on the barrel or frame/receiver.

A special thank you is due to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who graciously approved the use of most of the photographs used in this book. Introduction The purpose of this guide is to aid Michigan law enforcement agencies in the accurate identification of firearms and to make their descriptions compatible with the State Central Gun Files and the Automated Pistol Registration System when they are registered, entered as stolen, or queried. To accomplish this, officers and clerical support staff should understand the components of an accurate firearm description, and how they are coded in the system. These components are: Make, Caliber, Type, Serial Number, Model, and Shot (for revolvers [PR] and derringers [PD]). The first rule is: GET THE DESCRIPTION FROM THE WEAPON. Most errors are the result of copying handwriting from one document to another. MAKE (MAK) A correct make code is essential to retrieve information from the system and is often the most difficult component to identify.

    The twilight of the flint striking ignition. By the end of the XVIII century the fulminates were discovered. These chemical compounds are shock-sensitive explosives. The flintlock ignition was thus slowly replaced by the percussion cap system, so the appreciated muzzleloading guns were rejuvenated and they could be used for a few more years. The intuition that a cartridge, together with the new ignition system, could be inserted by the breech end was much more important, but the breech had to be mobile and striker-equipped. The flintlock gun structure was changed in a manner that would lead to open it, load the ammunition and then safely close it. In the following decades the gunmakers were committed with three main topics: easy opening, strong closing and safe cartridges. Percussion cap pag. 1 Damascus barrels Among different construction processes the one described below wawas used for the making of high quality barrelsbarrels.. Thin strips of iron andand steel were forged in a single billet. Three billets were joined ,twisted around a mandrel (Fig. 1) and passed through the rolling mill, from which a strip 7-107 10 mmmm widewide came out. This strip was heated in the forge, wrapped around a casing pipe and little by little percussion-weldedpercussion welded (Fig. 2). Then it was the turn of other craftsmen who drilled and polished the barrels. Finally, after welding ribs and lumps, the barrels were burnished. Thanks to this last process the iron gets darker and the steel lighter. pag. 2 The reform of the lock The “arcaic” lock, even in its so called modern version (Fig.
