About This Item
(Subject: Small Arms, Personal Weapons, Equipment & Accoutrements) A history of early percussion firearms from Forsyth to the Winchester .44/40. Alexander Forsyth was the first to conceive the idea of igniting gunpowder by means of striking a priming fulminate mixture. The author traces Forsyth's development of his scent-bottle model through to sliding locks. He moves on to Pauly and his breech loader, and goes on to describe punch-locks, muzzle and breech-loading cap guns, tape, disc and cap magazine guns.
