Henry Nock, Innovator 1741–1804
001_wainwright 1/29/04 10:33 AM Page 1 Henry Nock, Innovator 1741–1804 Peter S. 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. -
