    Rifles Part II. Breech-Loading and Metal Cartridges Breechloaders Since the dawn of black powder, gunmakers have explored ways of loading firearms from the opposite—and significantly closer!—end of the barrel. Hinged breeches, loading gates, and detachable chambers date back to the matchlock period, and even Henry VIII owned a few guns loaded in a manner not unlike a “Trapdoor” Springfield. However, such experimental firearms were prohibitively expensive, and never achieved anything more than novelty status among the wealthy. It was not until the nineteenth century that improvements in engineering techniques and ammunition types made breech-loading firearms a viable alternative to muzzle-loaders. A New Age In the early1860s, breech-loading firearms finally began to supplant muzzle-loaders. While the difference may appear minor—the rifle is loaded from the rear of the barrel, rather than the muzzle—the implications are enormous. Faster to reload, requiring less auxiliary equipment, and easier to clean, breech-loading rifles could achieve significantly higher rates of fire—up to ten rounds a minute in the hands of an experience shooter! They can also be reloaded from a prone or sitting position. The trade-off comes with an increase in complexity, as breech-loaders require some form of mechanical “action” to open the breech, expose the chamber, and reseal the breech. Most breech-loaders are classified by the system used to accomplish this process, which usually involves the movements of the “breechblock,” the metal component which physically seals the breech-end of the barrel and permits the rifle to be fired safely.

  • E - Gazette Mk II
    E - Gazette Mk II New Zealand Antique & Historical Arms Association Inc. # 16 April 2012 EDITORIAL Prompted by Terry Willson’s article on the Swinburn Henry of the Natal Volunteers, Pat Glynn kindly loaned me his Swinburn Henry carbine to review and there then followed an international discussion on who his carbine may have been issued to and this in turn resulted in debate about the bayonet. So we have a strong Swinburn theme this month. If you have one of these relatively rare rifles and carbines, or knowledge about them, please get in touch. Now that I am no longer National Secretary I have discontinued the NZAHAA Secretary Blog, however if you wish to be kept up to date with what the NZ Arms Register is doing please visit: http://nzarmsregister.blogspot.co.nz/ If you have comments to make or news or articles to contribute, send them to [email protected] All views (and errors) expressed here are those of the Editor and not necessarily those of the NZAHAA Inc.

OAL 284 mm, Blade Length 183 mm, MRD 18.1mm . The only marking is JKL on the blade. They appear to have been made in two batches, an example of the second type is shown below. Only 190 of these bayonets are known to have been made and because of the nature of the hilt are thought to be specially made rather than cut down from a sword bayonet.

  • The American Civil War and Military Technological Change
    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND MILITARY TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE DOCTORAL THESIS University of Tasmania Department of Political Science cloie` cvotae? Marc Bowles February 1991 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was born from an interest in the area but was brought to fruition under the encouragement of many individuals. I am especially indebted to Professor Harry G Gelber who provide invaluable supervision, and suggestions, while all the time nurturing a flagging student. To Janette Kahl, Andrew Sharman, Calvin Sharman (no relation), Peter O'Toole, the staff of the Central Defence Department (Canberra) Library, and the University of Tasmania Morris Miller Library, go my thanks for your patience and assistance. Obviously, despite all the support received, responsibility for the selection of the materials and the treatment of the topic is entirely my own. For the record as well, this thesis contains no material which has been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any university or college and to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously written or published by another person unless I have made acknowledgement in the text of this work. Marcus Bowles ABSTRACT Military technology change is a subject of enormous diversity and profound complexity. To reduce the topic to some ordered form the thesis discusses military technological changes in one period; the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. The thesis also contends that military technology cannot be studied in purely physical terms. Only in conjunction with environmental elements can we fully comprehend technical change. This will enable us to make sense of technology as both a technical entity constructed from existing scientific knowledge, and as a human activity interacting with the surrounding environment.

  • Merchants' Magazine: November 1866, Vol. LV, No. V
    THE MERCHANTS’ MAGAZINE AND COMMERCIAL REVIEW, * N O V E M B E R , 1 8 6 6, THE EVENING STAR-DEFECTS IN VESSELS IN DDR COASTING SERVICE. We notice that a daily paper refers to the commander of the steamship Evening Star, which was lost off the coast of Florida on the 3d of October, as an unqualified and inexperienced navigator. So far from this being the case, we know him to be one of the best men in the service, who, for his personal qualities and nautical skill, was held in very high esteem. The Evening Star belonged to the New York Mail Steamship Company, and is said to have been the favorite vessel of the lice. Captain Knapp had the entire confidence of the company, as he has of this community, and the disaster which occurred cannot in any degree be imputed to omission or incornpetency on his part. Just at the present time, however, it must be remarked, disasters to vessels employed in the coasting trade have been unusually numerous. Within the brief period of ten days, we notice among others disabled or lost, the Evening Star, the Daniel Webster, the Andrew Johnson, the Sheridan, the Santiago de Cuba, and the Starlight. It is evident that there must have been some cause other than bad weather to be charged with so much shipwreck. We are aware that there have been of late severe storms and gales, and so there are each fall and winter, and those of the present season furnish little excuse, for our vessels should be able to encounter the ordinary storms successfully, and would be in most cases if there were not radical defects existing in the vessels themselves.

  • Frontier Weapons Displayed at Scotts Bluff
    National Park Service Scotts Bluff U.S. Department of the Interior Scotts Bluff National Monument Nebraska Frontier Weapons Displayed at Scotts Bluff Weapons were considered vital on the emigrant trails. Many men had whole arsenals after reading about the “Indian problem” in the newspapers. Instead of firing their guns to protect themselves, often they were the cause of accidents. Hunting was a pastime that was often unsuccessful although most men wanted to kill a buffalo. After traveling several hundred miles, it was found that firearms were not as important as assumed and many guns were discarded along the trail as loads were lightened. Navy Colt The .36 caliber Navy Colt revolver on display is a Revolver six shot cap and ball pistol with an octagonal barrel. It has a bent front sight, a brass trigger guard and wood grips. The number on the cylinder is “77828”. The number “99429” matches the number on the frame. Designed by Samuel Colt between 1847 and 1850, the revolver remained in production until 1873. Despite the “Navy” designation, the revolver was chiefly purchased by civilians and military land forces. This revolver was purchased by Scotts Bluff National Monument in 1960. Model 1849 A 1849 model Pocket Colt revolver, this is a six shot pistol Colt with an octagonal barrel and bullets retained in the cylinder. Pocket The backstrap is broken and the grips are missing. There Revolver is also a brass trigger guard. With a .31 caliber single action revolver, it is a smaller version of the Colt 1851 Navy revolver. This badly rusted and pitted pistol was found in the Badlands be- tween the Monument and the North Platte River in 1906 and was a gift to the Monument in 1935.
