You may say with some reason that this is a choice naturally to be expected of a man con- nected with museums as I am, but I think the position is defensible.

Christoph Vogler was the patriarch of gunsmiths, and his touch can be seen in the work of many of his pupils, IL S. Butner, Hermann Buttner, William Dittmar, George Foltz, and others who were his apprentices or who worked with him. Vogler built guns in the days when the Long Rifle was supreme .$ among American sporting weapons, and his arms are highly prized today.

Minh Do 1, X. Son Bui 1*, J. Komenda 2, R. Vítek 2 and P. Skalický2 1 Faculty of Weapons, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam 2 Faculty of Military Technology, University of Defence in Brno, Czech Republic The manuscript was received on 29 November 2017 and was accepted after revision for publication on 20 June 2019. Abstract: The article deals with the pressing process of the samples from bismuth powder, which were used in place of the bullet in order to optimize the frangible bullets manufacturing process. Cylindrical samples with a diameter of 9 mm were compacted by cold pressing in a cylindrical rigid die without sintering. Various pressing conditions (the changing of pressing force, pressing velocity and dwell time) were applied for compacting the sam- ples. After compaction, the axial strength of the samples was tested to determine the optimal manufacturing process of the frangible bullet based on the bismuth powders. Keywords: bismuth, frangible bullet, green strength, green density, powder metallurgy, pressing force, pressing velocity 1. Introduction Powder metallurgy technology is also used in manufacturing the ammunition for fire- arms. In the commercial frangible cartridges, the frangible bullets are made of various kinds of metal powder, e.g. Cu, Fe, W, etc., where Cu is the most widespread. These metals are less ecologically harmful than lead. However, iron and copper easily cor- rode in water-rich tissues, whereas copper is toxic at high concentration in the body.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Submachine Guns
    Weapons Expansion 1850-1945 Warning: Plenty of guesswork and approximations Revolvers Galand Model 1868, 12mm Perrin (France, 1868-18??) The double action Galand type revolvers used a rather unique method of loading, as they used the trigger guard as a lever to break the gun into 3 parts and extract the spent casings. These revolvers were adopted by the Russian Navy as the M1870 and they were also popular as a private purchase by French officers. 12mm guns could be had with either a 4 7/8” barrel (in table) or with an 8” barrel (Dmg 1d+2 pi+, Wt. 2.8/0.24, Bulk -3). These weapons were also available in 9mm Perrin (Dmg 1d+2 pi, Wt. 1.5/0.13, ST 9, Cost $275) and 7mm Perrin (Dmg 1d+1 pi-, Wt. 1.1/0.09, ST 8, Bulk -1, Cost $250). A unique version known as the Sportsman was available in 12mm with a folding wire stock (2 ready actions to deploy/stow, when deployed +1 Acc, -1 Bulk, multiply ST by 0.8 and use Guns (Rifle) to shoot) with either a 4 7/8” barrel (Wt. 3.1/0.24, Cost $460) or the 8” barrel (Wt. 3.3/0.24, Bulk -3, Cost $460). The gun was produced in France and was also made in England as the Sommerville Galand. Gasser M70, 11.3×36mmR (Austria, 1870-1919) This monster of a double-action revolver was a popular firearm all throughout Europe, especially in eastern Europe and the Balkans. The M70 version had a cast iron frame, which proved too weak and was replaced by a cast steel frame in 1874 with the M70/74 (same stats).
