    Recoil Action: Firearm action that uses the force of the recoil to provide energy to cycle the action. Roller-delayed Blowback: A type of fi rearm action where rollers on the sides of the bolt are driven inward against a tapered bolt carrier extension. This forces the bolt carrier rearward at a higher velocity and delays movement of the bolt head. Rolling Block Action: A fi rearm action where the breech is seeled with a specially shaped breechblock able to rotate on a pin. The breechblock is locked in place by the hammer preventing the cartridge from moving backwards when fi red. Cocking the weapon allows the breechblock to be rotated to reload the weapon. Short Recoil Action: Action where the barrel and slide recoil together a short distance before they unlock and separate. The barrel stops quickly, and the slide continues rearward, compressing the recoil spring and performing the automated extraction and feeding process. During the last portion of its forward travel, the slide locks into the barrel and pushes the barrel back into battery. Slide Action: A fi rearm action where the handgrip is moved back and forth along the barrel in order to eject a spent cartridge and chamber a new one. This type of action is most common in shotguns and is also used in some rifl e designs. It is also called pump action. Snaphance: A method of fi ring a gun that uses a fl int set in the hammer that when the trigger is pulled causes the fl int to strike the frizzen to create a shower of sparks to ignite the priming powder.

  • 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.

  • American Arms in the Tower
    Tower of London. Lithograph by Daniell, 1804. The Proof House and smiths' workshops are on the wharf in the foreground. Reprinted from the American Society of Arms Collectors Bulletin 50:22-39 Additional articles available at http://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/resources/articles/ American Arms in the Tower Howard L. Blackmore For the purpose of this short paper, I have used the words 'American Arms' in their widest sense, to mean not only weapons made in America but those used or invented in America. It is not my intention to list all the various firearms (they are nearly all firearms I am afraid) which come into those categories in the Tower - that would be a lengthy and tedious process - but rather to comment on the inter- change of firearm design and development that took place between the two countries on either side of the Atlantic and to highlight some of the more interesting weapons. Perhaps I can also emphasise the special relationship which has always existed between the Tower of London and North America. May I first briefly review the activities of the Board of Ordnance in London as it affected the contents of the Armouries collections of today. The Government Depart- ment responsible for the supply of weapons to the British Army and Navy from the 16th century up to the middle of according to the whim of the maker and the lock systems, the 19th century, its headquarters in the Tower of London, matchlock, flintlock and wheellock, were in their most con- consisted of a large number of offices, store rooms, work- fused.state of evolution.

  • The Rifles' History 1685 to 1800
    The Rifles’ History “Pride of Regiment and love for the Regiment’s history and tradition is the sacred Ark of the Covenant on which the British soldier depends in battle and on which Britain, through him, has again and again survived and won through to victory” Sir Arthur Bryant The Rifles’ History can be traced back to 1685. 1685 to 1800 The Battle of Sedgemoor 6th July 1685 Like many of the modern regiments of the British Army, The Rifles can trace its roots back to the 17th and 18th Centuries. In fact the birth of The Rifles goes back to 1685, when – following the suppression of the ‘Monmouth Rebellion’, the Duke of Beaufort and the Earl of Huntingdon raised Regiments, which were to become the 11th (North Devon) and 13th (Somerset) Regiments of foot in order to secure King James II position on the throne. However, it was the British Army’s experience of irregular warfare in North America during the Seven Years War – as brought to the cinema screens by the film ‘Last of the Mohicans’ – that forced it to develop light infantry to counter the threat posed by their American, French and native Indian foes. The tactics of column and line used by line infantry were not suited to the close and wooded country found in North America where rebels used lighting tactics to attack vulnerable bodies of men as they marched across hostile territory. Initially colonists and Indians were used as scouts before two Regiments were raised in 1755 as light infantry. One of these was the 85th (Bucks Volunteers).
