    THE JACOB RIFLE AND ITS EXPLODING PROJECTILE An Approach to Evaluating Historically Attributed Firearms and a Request for ASAC Help By Bob Carlson Figure 1: The Jacob rifle with bayonet, by Swinburn & Son. One of the most intriguing, unusual firearms, perhaps worthy of inclusion in Winant’s “Firearms Curiosa”, is the Jacob rifle! Be- sides having double 24-inch barrels, as well as a single barreled variant, it fired both solid and explosive bullets, designed to blow up mutinous Indian artillery caissons at long range, perhaps up to 1,400 yards (or as some feel, to the 2,000 yards to which its 5-inch- long ladder sight is graduated )! The appearance of a twenty-four- inch double barreled, deeply rifled firearm mounted with a huge bayonet with its 30-inch blade and Scottish-highland type cut-out basket guard, is bizarre and incongruous indeed (Figure 1). The “Perfected” Jacob Rifle The final design of this very unusual and innovative English rifle was completed by the quixotic General (then Major) John Ja- cob (Figure 2) in 1857, by the time of the Indian Mutiny to arm Figure 2.

  • 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.

  • CHAPTER I PITT RIVERS and the MID-VICTORIAN CONTEXT 1. Early Life and Education Pitt Rivers Was, in Many Ways, a Typical Victori
    CHAPTER I PITT RIVERS AND THE MID-VICTORIAN CONTEXT 1. Early Life and Education Pitt Rivers was, in many ways, a typical Victorian. He was born at the beginning of the second quarter of the nineteenth century and died in 1900, or one year before the Queen herself. His life paralleled those of many of the leading figures of the age: Gladstone, Ruskin, Millais, and from Lytton Strachey's list, Cardinal Manning, General Gordon and Florence Nightingale1. Through his wife he was related to many as well: Lord Stanley, President of the Board of Trade under Aberdeen; his wife, Henrietta Maria, the famous blue-stocking; Albert Way, the principal founder of the Archaeological Institute. His career, in turn, touched upon many of the major events: the Crimean War, the Trent Case, the International Exhibition of 1862, the Fenian Conspiracy. He met or corresponded with figures as diverse as Richard Burton, the explorer, Philip Webb, William Morris's friend and partner, and Lord Hardinge, Commander-in-Chief of Her Majesty's Armed Forces. He came into contact with an even greater number: Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, among royalty; John Tyndall and Joseph Prestwich, among the naturalist community; E.B. Tylor and Thomas Huxley, among anthropologists. His daughter married Sir John Lubbock, the first Lord Avebury, whose own interests and activities touched upon nearly all we now associate with the age: banking, politics, science, the growth of educational institutions and the foundation of learned societies. Pitt Rivers was, then, a man whose life could be said to have epitomized his age.

  • Pattern 1853 Enfield Ammunition
    Pattern 1853 Enfield Ammunition A history of the development of the ammunition used in the first successful general-issue military rifle 1st Lieutenant Brett Gibbons, Ordnance Corps, USAR December, 2016 Foreword A great deal has been written about the Pattern 1853 Enfield rifle-musket by prominent experts of far deeper understanding and knowledge than myself. These outstanding works painstakingly document the various modifications and changes to the rifle itself over its brief but colorful service life, including its extensive use in the American Civil War. I hope to add in some small measure to what has previously been written about the Enfield rifle, by providing an overview of the development and history of the ammunition used by that rifle. I submit that the Pattern 1853 Enfield rifle-musket is the first infantry weapon of our current modern era, having more in common with the M16’s and M4’s of today’s U.S. military than the smooth-bore muskets that came before it. The P1853 was mass-produced and issued to the entire army; for the first time, every single soldier was armed with a weapon that could accurately engage individual targets out to extraordinary ranges. Most importantly (and this separates the P1853 from other rifle-muskets of the era), it could be loaded and fired with ease, even hundreds of times, without being stopped by the accumulation of black powder fouling. The ammunition made this possible. The P1853 rifle itself, while undoubtedly a fine arm, was virtually identical in construction, quality, and accuracy to the rifle-muskets adopted by France, Belgium, Austria, the United States, and the other major powers.

Having regard to the nature of the Museum (especially the vast field of Naval and Military History which it covers), the limited space, and the consequent necessity of having at times to' remove certain objects in order to exhibit others, it was found quite impos- sible to classify the numerous exhibits under groups or collections : but the index, which has been added, is of an exhaustive nature and will assist the Visitor in readily finding the objects of special interest. I would point out that the value of a work of this kind lies in its accuracy, and should any mistakes have crept into its pages in the course of compilation and printing, I hope they will be pointed out to me, that they may be rectified in future editions. In the first edition of this Catalogue I was greatly indebted to the assistance which I received from Mr.
