The earliest tubular shooting firearm

When it comes to the invention of guns, gunpowder must be mentioned. Because the appearance of gunpowder contributed to the birth of guns, gunpowder

It laid the foundation for the development of weapons from cold weapons to hot weapons.

Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, a famous alchemist in China, wrote in his book.

The method of mixing sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal for alchemy was put forward in single crystal. At that time, sulfur and saltpeter were both

Drugs used to treat diseases, these two drugs can be ignited by charcoal, so they are called "gunpowder".

By the 10 century, gunpowder had been widely used in the military, and from the Tang Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, it had been widely used by the army.

Use thunderbolt fireball, gunpowder arrow, thunderbolt and other firearms. About 905 AD, the earliest primitive guns in China-

-"musket" (or "fire spear") appeared, and the world's first picture depicting "gun" appeared in detail.

It was painted on a silk painting in Dunhuang, China in the middle of 10 century. This is a Buddhist picture. The Tathagata is chanting Buddha and demon.

The woman and her demon tried to distract him. A Grenade was about to be thrown at him, at the same time, there were three on the other head.

The snake demon is aiming at him with a musket.

The original musket used a long bamboo pole as the barrel, which was filled with gunpowder. After being ignited, the ejected flame hurts people. Strictly speaking,

At this time, the musket can not be called a gun, because it has no projectiles, so people often call it a shooting firearm.

Although shooting firearms can't be called guns, they are the ancestors of guns, which laid the foundation for the development of guns.

According to the existing historical records, the earliest development and use of tubular firearms was stereotypes. At that time, he served as dean (now

Hubei Anlu) magistrate. In the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 1 32), the northern Jin army often invaded the south. This year,

A group of stragglers gathered under a banner called Hengli, robbing and harassing the town everywhere. One day, Li

He led the soldiers to attack Dean City. In this battle, Stereotype used the musket he invented to form a team of more than 60 people.

This musket team composed of 2 ~ 3 people, armed with a musket, beat Hengli's army out of the water. At that time, stereotypes

The musket is made of bamboo and filled with gunpowder. It is lit from behind the tail, and the flame can spray several branches.

After the earliest tubular firearms were invented, muskets continued to develop. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Shouchun House was established in 1259.

(now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) built a "musket", which is a kind of tube close to modern guns.

The shaped firearm "with giant bamboo as the barrel and An Zi inside" ignites the gunpowder, and then the flame is ejected from the bamboo tube and then flies out.

"In the case of", accompanied by a noisy. Historical materials did not introduce what raw materials were used to make the "sub-case".

But it was the embryonic form of the bullet later, and it was a great pioneering work in the history of weapons.

A musket has both a barrel and a "sub-shell" (bullet), which has the basic conditions of a gun. however

At this time, the "gun chamber" is made of bamboo or wood, which is easy to crack after ignition and has little power. Therefore, the metal tube

The appearance of shaped firearms later became inevitable.

Real guns were invented in China at the latest in 13 century. A green plant produced in 1288 was unearthed in Heilongjiang, China.

The bronze pistol is several feet long and weighs 8 Jin. It is the oldest known metal musket in the world.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, firearms similar to muskets were once popular. With Genghis Khan's Western Expedition, they were invented in China.

Gunpowder and firearms first spread to the Middle East. The Arabs imitated China's muskets and made wooden tubular shooting firearms.

It is called "motor hair".

By the Ming Dynasty, many types of guns appeared and their performance was greatly improved. 1355, there is a man named Jiao Yu.

People presented dozens of dragon guns to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked the general Xu Da to try them out. They were "like dragons, and the holes penetrated the layers."

Grass ",Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after reading it, thinking that" this gun is like a palm in the world, and the successful one is the general. "10 years.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. In this struggle to seize power, muskets did it.

Played a great role. At that time, there were also multi-barrel guns, some of which could be fired by single tube in turn, and some could be fired by multiple tubes at the same time.

This multi-barrel gun is the pioneer of modern machine guns and multi-barrel firearms.

The invention of tubular firearms greatly influenced and changed the form of war, making it more intense and disabled.

Cool.

From fire door gun to fire rope gun

From fire door gun to fire rope gun

/kloc-in the 0/4th century, Europeans and Arabs fought fiercely. In the war, Arabs used

China invented gunpowder weapons, which made European countries suffer greatly. These Europeans realized from the war.

Firearms are really powerful, so I began to learn to make gunpowder and firearms. At that time, European countries used industrial technology water.

Ping is higher, so China's tubular firearms have not made great progress in Arab hands, but they have made great progress in Europe.

Breakthrough progress.

The earliest gun was Firegate Gun, and the early small artifacts in China belonged to Firegate Gun. The so-called firebomb gun

There is a fire door on the gun. Firegate cannon has a simple structure and its firing mode is similar to today's firecrackers. It has one

There is a fire door at the lower end of the launch tube (barrel) made of cast copper or wrought iron, which is used to ignite gunpowder.

The tail end of the launch tube is connected with a stick or spear called "rudder", which is convenient for the shooter to hold, aim and control.

Control launch.

It usually takes two people to fire the fire door gun. When firing, black powder is loaded from the muzzle, and then

Insert projectiles such as stone bullets, iron bullets, copper bullets or lead bullets, and then light them with red-hot iron wire or charcoal.

Ignite the gunpowder in the fire door, so as to shoot the projectile. When launching, the two transmitters are responsible for aiming and ignition respectively.

However, it is very inconvenient for two people to use a firegate gun, especially the cavalry, which cannot be operated by two people at all.

The knights in black in Germany were the first troops to equip and use small incendiary bombs, and all the knights carried incendiary bombs.

Guns. Although this kind of gun looks backward today, it produced incredible power at that time. one

Second, the Black Knight was at war with the French. The black knight hung the gun around his neck with a rope, holding the gun in his left hand and the gun in his right hand.

Ignition, after one shot, reloading human gunpowder and pellets from the muzzle. Although the German Firegate gun has a low hit rate, its operation is numb.

Angry and inefficient, but French soldiers with spears and swords have never seen such a fire-breathing missile.

New weapon, afraid of running away.

However, the fire door cannon is too inconvenient. At that time, the shooters commented on the fire door gun like this: "One person operates the fire door."

A gun needs two pairs of eyes and three hands! "

In order to make the gun easy for a single person to use, an Englishman invented a new ignition device, which used a

Combustible "rope" replaced the red-hot metal wire and designed the firing mechanism, which was popular in Europe.

A century's fire rope.

After the birth of the matchlock gun, the matchlock gun had to hold the gun in one hand and the burning object in the other, so it was impossible to aim, which led to shooting.

Overcomes the shortcoming of inaccuracy. The structure of the matchlock gun is that there is a metal hook on the gun, and one end of the hook is fixed on the gun.

On the floor, and can rotate around the shaft, the other end holds the burning match rope, and the soldiers fire with their hands and hook the metal to the fire.

Push the door and go in, let the matchlock ignite the black powder, and then the projectile in the gun bore is launched. Because the match rope is a

Hemp rope or twisted cloth, soaked in potassium nitrate or other salt solution, dried, can burn slowly.

The speed is about 80 mm ~ 120 mm per hour, so that soldiers can press the metal hook into the fire door with one hand or

Hold the gun in both hands and keep your eyes on the target. According to historical records, a well-trained shooter can fire two bullets every three minutes.

The range of bullets and long barrel guns is about 100 meters to 200 meters.

From firegate gun to matchlock gun, it is a major breakthrough in ignition technology in the history of firearms development. Until today, fire

The principle of rope gun is still widely used today.

The diameter of the matchlock gun is about 20 mm ~ 30 mm, the weight is about 5 kg ~ 7 kg, and the weight of the projectile is less than 30.

G, the initial velocity is about 240 meters, the range is 100 meters to 200 meters, and 2 rounds are fired every 3 minutes. Heavy matchlock gunner

It is about 2 meters long and weighs 12 kg. It needs to be launched on a fork. The projectile weighs 30 to 45 grams and can hit 200.

The target is several meters away.

As soon as the matchlock gun appeared on the battlefield, it immediately attracted the attention of the armies of various countries. Soon, the fire was put out by the matchrope.

Door cannon has become the main battle weapon for a long time. At that time, due to the use of large groups of people to fight, the team

Dense shape, easy to kill the enemy.

The Spanish developed the most famous matchlock gun in Europe-"Mouche Kurt" musket.

The gun is about 1.8 m ~ 2.0 m long and weighs about 8 kg ~ 1 1 kg, and the bullet weighs about 32 g ~ 50 g

If the caliber is less than 23 mm, load the ammunition from the muzzle and put it on the fork when shooting. The maximum range is 250.

Rice can penetrate the armor of cavalry at that time. Spanish general Saro de, who has a unique research on the tactics and techniques of the matchlock.

With the support of the king, Có rdoba established the first regular musket infantry unit in Europe at the beginning of16th century.

All officers and men in this unit use "Mouche Kurt" matchlock guns.

This matchlock unit in Cordoba was originally organized into 20 columns, each with 1000 ~ 1250 people.

The column is divided into five companies. Later, Cordoba adopted the formation system of infantry regiment for his musket troops.

Each infantry regiment has three columns, and the infantry regiment consists of musketeers and spearmen. This mixed infantry regiment is also called

It's the Spanish phalanx. In the "Spanish phalanx", musketeers and spearmen were roughly equal, and later musketeers

Gradually increase, but the monthly salary of musketeers is significantly higher than that of spearmen.

In order to give full play to the power of the matchlock gun, Cordova invented a new gun of great significance.

Tactics-after-loading tactics, that is, a musket battle formation generally has 40 rows. During the war, the guns are lined up.

Hands volley in turn, and then return to the back row for filling one by one along the gap between the two rows, wherein

This tactic makes up for the slow firing speed of the matchlock gun, thus ensuring continuous and uninterrupted shooting.

Strike.

1525 In the battle of pavia in February, the Cordoba musketeers fought the French cavalry for the first time.

Archers occupy favorable terrain and put muskets on forks. At that time, the French cavalry didn't put Spanish match ropes at all.

The marines are in sight, and they still have no qualms about destroying Ma Chong's position to Spain.

However, the situation is changing rapidly, and the continuous firepower formed by the Spanish musketeers will be

The French cavalry put down their horses one by one, and the French cavalry was in chaos and suffered heavy losses. After that, the Spanish army

Relying on the power of the matchlock gun, the team completely defeated the French army, which was obviously superior in number, and dominated dozens of European countries.

A few years. Later, France and other countries followed suit and set up infantry regiments with matchlock guns as their main weapons. In this way, one

The fallen infantry came back to life, driving the arrogant cavalry out of the leading role in the war stage.

As the first light shooting weapon that can be really used in actual combat, the matchlock gun has obvious disadvantages. it

It can't be used in stormy days, and the match rope should be lit all the time before and during the battle, which not only costs a lot of money,

Moreover, it is very prone to danger, especially when fighting at night. The light emitted by the burning matchrope is undoubtedly violent.

Show your position and the number of combat troops.

Therefore, people began to explore new weapons to overcome the shortcomings of matchlock guns.

Wheeled muskets and flintlocks

Wheeled lighters and flintlock guns.

Wheeled lighter is a kind of front gun, which is ignited by flint. The main components of this wheeled lighter are: band saw.

Toothed steel wheel, chain, spring and hammer, etc. There is tunnel stone (flint) on the hammer head, which is close to the surface of the steel wheel.

Fine teeth rub the tunnel stone and ignite the gunpowder. Before shooting, the shooter needs to roll the chain manually with a small board.

In this process, the spring is compressed and opened to drive the steel wheel to rotate. The whole process is like clockwork of an alarm clock.

Although the wheeled musket is produced on the basis of overcoming the inconvenience of musket, there are still some problems about it.

Born, but there is no accurate statement. Some people think that the German watchmaker John Key Firth invented this gun.

Some people say that Italian scientists invented the rotary ignition device, and some people vividly say that it is the hair of this gun.

Mingzhe is a chicken thief and made up such a specious story: chicken thieves often go at night.

As a gentleman on the beam, the main tool he used when stealing chickens was a matchlock gun, but it was easy to expose the target.

So, he used his brain and invented this hidden wheel gun.

The author has consulted relevant materials many times, and thinks that John Key Firth, a German watchmaker, invented the story of the wheel hitting the musket.

More credible. According to the story, Kievers, who was born at the beginning of16th century, is quite famous in the watch industry. He can not only create.

All kinds of exquisite watches with unique shapes have a strong interest in all kinds of firearms, and many exquisite watches have been made by hand.

One day, a guest came to Kivers' house. When the guests smoked and lit the fire, they used something that was not popular at that time.

Matches, but the ancient flint friction ignition method, the sparkle of flint instantly aroused Kivers' inspiration.

He combined the serrated rotating steel wheel on the clock with the flint that can produce sparks. With his experience and wisdom,

Hui, 15 15, successfully developed the world's first rotary lighter.

The wheeled musket successfully invented by Kievers caught the attention of the German military, and soon it began to be equipped.

German cavalry and infantry, 1544, Germany was at war with France. At that time, German cavalry were equipped with wheels to fight muskets.

China's army is still armed with matchsticks. There was a sudden storm in the battle, and the French army equipped with matchlock guns could hardly fight.

A shot was fired, and the German cavalry with wheeled muskets as the main weapon became more and more brave and defeated the French soldiers.

Get out of the water. Soon, the French king, who had been defeated repeatedly, also hired a considerable number of similar cavalry, which also

Lighter with wheels. In this way, the wheeled musket has gradually become the main weapon of cavalry.

However, this revolver is not perfect. It is not only complicated in structure, expensive in construction and troublesome to use.

However, when there is pollution on the steel wheel, it can't get angry reliably, so people begin to develop new "ignition" methods.

Type.

Soon, the Spaniards living in Iberia invented the flintlock gun, and they took it away from the original.

Clockwork steel wheel, but there is a flint on the hammer jaw and an anvil on the edge of the fire hole. if

When you need to shoot, pull the trigger, and under the action of the spring, the flint hits the edge of the fire door and emits fire.

Star, ignite gunpowder. This firing mechanism is called impact trigger, which is a gun equipped with impact tunnel mechanism.

It's called an impact flintlock. The impact flintlock gun greatly simplifies the firing process and improves the firing speed and accuracy.

Convenient use, low cost and convenient mass production. By the 1980s, the armies of many countries had installed them.

I have this kind of impact flintlock.

At the beginning of the century, French Mahan made great improvements to the flintlock gun, and his development was successful, reliable and perfect.

The firing mechanism and insurance mechanism made it the best gun at that time, which won honor for France. law

For this reason, King Henry IV called him into the palace as a personal attendant, specializing in making guns for the imperial court. By the middle of17th century,

This kind of flintlock gun has been widely equipped with the French army. Later, this kind of tunnel gun was copied and adopted by countries all over the world until

1mid-9th century.

There are two kinds of tunnel guns: infantry tunnel guns and cavalry flintlock guns. The former has a caliber of 19.8mm and a gun length of 1560mm.

The gun weighs 5.69 kg and the projectile weighs 32.1g; The latter has a caliber of 17.3 mm, a gun length of 12 10 mm and a gun weight of 4.

6 kg, the projectile weighs 21.3 g.

/kloc-In the middle of 0/7th century, in the early years of Qing Dynasty in China, Dai Zi, an inventor from China, invented a gobang that looked like a harp.

Milling, the powder and pellets of this continuous bead are stored behind the shovel, with 28 rounds, which are opened and closed by two wheels. When pulling the first machine,

Gunpowder and lead particles automatically fall into the barrel, the No.2 machine rotates randomly, and the friction flint ignites the gunpowder to emit lead particles.

In fact, this kind of hammer is very similar to the principle of modern mechanical machine guns, and it developed later than gatling in the United States.

Ming's mechanical machine gun was a century earlier. However, because the Qing government was extremely conservative, it didn't trust the Han people.

As a result, this great invention was not popularized and adopted, so it had to be "hidden" at home.

In the 200-year tunnel firing of guns, many political and military events are closely related to flintlock guns, especially

It is the history of the American War of Independence, which was almost rewritten by tunnel guns. During the American Revolution, the American people volunteered to join the army.

A militia was formed and fired the first shot at the British colonists in the War of Independence. Both Britain and America use it.

The flintlock campaign lasted from April 1775 to September 1783, and the British government was forced to agree to American independence.

In the third year of the War of Independence, that is, on the day of June 1777+00, the distance between the British and American armies was 100 ~ 300.

During the code-named position confrontation, Major John Calvin Ferguson, the sharpshooter of the British colonial army, received an order to make him important in the United States.

Commander-in-Chief Washington, elected by the people of thirteen North American states. One day, a coat appeared on the American position.

Casual officers, even without a guard, only stand next to an adjutant-like person, such as John Calvin Ferguson.

While shooting at the tunnel, the casual American kept staring at the British position, with no intention of running away.

Son, John Calvin Ferguson didn't think he could be an official, and it wasn't worth taking his life as a sharpshooter, so he didn't.

Shoot me. Later, John Calvin Ferguson learned that this man was not only a big official, but also a famous Washington official. Imagine

When John Calvin Ferguson fires, Washington may lose his life. In this case, American history may really be another one.

Appearance. Bayonets on the gun body road

Bayonets on the gun body road

After the matchlock and flintlock went to the stage of war, people thought that the spearmen would be eliminated soon, but the war

The practice of contention tells people that loading ammunition is time-consuming and laborious because the firing rate of early muskets is too slow, so everything should be done.

/kloc-in Europe in the 0 th and 6 th centuries, the army without muskets did not have the courage to compete with the army equipped with muskets, but many

War is decided by hand-to-hand combat. That is to say, for a long time, on the battlefield.

The decisive weapon is still not the popular musket, but the old-fashioned spear and bow and arrow. So, every time you fight,

Both sides of the war should have musketeers and spearmen, which is inconvenient for management and training.

Can you make a new weapon with both musket function and spear function? This question is like a spark.

Keep flashing in people's minds. Finally, his troops were stationed in southeast France, near the Bay of Biscay in the Atlantic Ocean.

Marais de Piseju, a French officer in Rongna, began his initial attempt. The word bayonet was coined by Byron.

Named after Bayonne.

Piseju was inspired by his soldiers. In a battle, the soldiers picked it up because there was no ammunition.

The broken long spearhead, stuffed into the muzzle of the rifle, started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, which Pikris thought should be musketeers.

Equipped with a combination of gun and spear, it can be used for long-range shooting and fighting. 1640, ranking first in the world.

The rifle with bayonet was finally born under the leadership of Piseju. This early bayonet was straight and double-edged, and the blade part

The length is 30 cm, and the tapered wooden handle is 30 cm. At that time, the bayonet was not installed under the barrel, but directly inserted into the sliding chamber.

At gunpoint.

Soon, all the infantry regiments in Piseju were replaced with standard rifles with bayonets, becoming the first to be fully used.

Musketeer troops. 1647, when Pisju led French King Louis XIV to seize the city of Ipur in Belgium,

He ordered the troops to fire at the soldiers who lined up for battle first, and then ordered the soldiers to install bayonets. This was already a confrontation battle.

The chaotic enemy launched a charge, launched face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, beat each other out of the water and abandoned the city in panic.

1688, French field marshal and military engineer Vauban improved the bayonet device and put it in.

Outside the muzzle, in this way, the bayonet not only enables the musket to defend itself at any time, but also does not affect the gun.

Shooting function. At 1855, bayonets were widely installed in front of individual guns and became a sharp weapon for assassination.

Suvorov, a famous Russian general, once said a famous saying: "The bayonet sees red and is the soul of the infantry." 1763

1920, he began to serve as the head of the suzdal Infantry Regiment of the Russian Army. He attached great importance to bayonet warfare. After his training, this

The infantry regiment became the most effective regiment of the Russian army. During the Second Russian-Turkish War, suvorov was ordered to attack Iraq.

Fort Zimmer, before that, Russian troops had captured this fortified castle for two months, but

It has never been broken. After suvorov arrived, he rushed through the trench overnight and climbed up the wall.

The guarded Turkish army launched a hand-to-hand battle. After some fierce fighting, 1.5 million Turkish soldiers fell.

Under the knife of Russian soldiers, the Turkish army had to surrender.

By the end of 17, European troops were generally equipped with type I bayonets. Since then, musketeers have served as spearmen for two terms.

It was quickly eliminated by the infantry team.

Mounting bayonets on infantry can not only prevent gunmen from firing without ammunition, but also be stuck to the enemy at close range.

It is used to assassinate the enemy, and more importantly, to inspire and cultivate the brave and tenacious fighting spirit of soldiers. In the war of the People's Liberation Army

In history, bayonets have played a proud role and are still collected in China People's Revolutionary Military Museum.

Several bayonets were missing and rolled up. The battle reflected by these bayonets took place in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Once, a volunteer army plunged into the enemy's rear and cut off the enemy's retreat. Our vanguard (company 3) is here.

Shutang Station met the fleeing enemy. In order to escape, the enemy used 32 planes, 10 tanks and clusters to charge our company 3.

Came at me fiercely. The fierce battle lasted for eight hours, and finally, my third company ran out of bullets.

The swarming enemy occupied the top of the mountain and overwhelmed them at the foot of the mountain. However, the warriors did not flinch, and they were covered with thorns.

Knife, bravely rushed to the enemy, inserted bayonet into the enemy's chest ... although the company suffered heavy casualties.

Very big, but they killed more than 300 enemies.

In the 1970s, the U.S. military put forward a quite new viewpoint: under modern conditions,

Assassination is the least important skill of infantry, and bayonet is only a tool to open cans. However, 1985

65438+ 10 In June, the US Army resumed assassination training. Because people of insight in the US military believe that bayonet warfare is not.

Soldiers need not only skilled skills, but also strong will. Assassination training is not only practical.

Besides using it, it is more important to help cultivate the most important brave fighting spirit of soldiers under modern conditions.

In the mid-20th century, with the automation of rifles and the increase of firepower density on the battlefield, hand-to-hand combat has been

Obviously reduced, the status and role of bayonet has indeed declined, but as a face-to-face combat weapon,

The bayonet is still an indispensable equipment in the army, but the structure and function of the bayonet have changed a little.

At present, the military bayonets developed and developed have short blades and are mostly split, emphasizing universality. Developed by the Soviet Union.

The bayonet equipped with AMK automatic rifle can not only be used as dagger and hacksaw, but also its scabbard and blade body can be assembled.

Synthetic scissors are used to cut barbed wire. Because the handle and scabbard are both insulating materials, they can also be used for cutting.

The firing gun that killed Lincoln

The firing gun that killed Lincoln

April 14 is a day that every westerner pays special attention to, because it is the martyrdom day of Jesus.

1865 At 8: 30 p.m., Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, who had just finished their work, came to the theater to see the play. bring into play

Half, Parker, the security guard in charge of the president's security, went downstairs privately because he couldn't see the wonderful performance in the balcony aisle.

Find a seat. Parker didn't expect that all his actions were taken by Puss, an assassin hiding in the dark to spy on opportunities.

Yes, the cat took the opportunity to sneak upstairs, then gently opened the door of the box and slipped into the box.

The cat holds a large caliber pistol in the right hand and a dagger in the left.

At a distance of 0/.5 meters from President Lincoln/KLOC-0, Booth stopped and quietly raised his gun.

He quietly aimed at Lincoln's head, pulled the trigger and the bullet entered the skull from above Lincoln's left ear. only

Seeing Lincoln lean forward a little, he fell on his back.

The gun used by the murderer to assassinate President Lincoln was11.8mm Dellinger firing gun.

The so-called firing gun is a gun that ignites gunpowder with a firing cap (primer). Shooting muskets was invented by human beings.

Class was born to overcome the shortcomings of previous firearms. Before the birth of firing gun, although compared with fire door gun and matchlock gun,

Although the tunnel gun has made great progress, it still has the advantages of long ignition time and waterproof primer device.

Poor defects. Therefore, people have been exploring and developing a new type of firearm.

Alexander john forsythe, a British priest, successfully developed the firing gun. As a country priest, learning

He is knowledgeable, besides preaching and teaching, he often delves into chemistry, often carries out some chemical experiments, and is also very good at guns.

Research. In an experiment, he extracted a beige crystalline powder, which is mercuric chloride.

Its performance is unique. If you are not careful, it will explode with a slight blow. Forsyth was not "strange" by Thunder and Mercury.

Temper ",but thinking about how to use it. After repeated experiments, he finally found that,

Mercury fulminate is extremely sensitive to acupuncture, impact and heat, and can be used as an ideal primer for firearms. Forsyth's vision

I got the approval of a good friend named Maura. Maura is the director of London Castle. He invited forsyth to do it in London.

Experiment. 1805, forsyth finally developed the ignition technology with mercuric chloride. After that, he and the steam engine

Inventor james watt made the world's first firing gun in 1807. After that, forsyth

Alice and Watt cooperated further and developed several kinds of firing guns.

Soon, forsyth gave up his career as a village priest and started a patent gun company in forsyth, resulting in a large number of students.

Produce a kind of firing gun called perfume bottle. The firing gun of "perfume bottle" is unique, outside the bottom plate of the firing mechanism.

There is indeed a metal jar shaped like a perfume bottle on the side, which is filled with base powder and can rotate around the axis. When the gunman put in the propellant,

After the washer and the projectile are filled by the muzzle, the "perfume bottle" rotates 180o, and the bottom of the bottle faces upward, so there is a certain degree.

A certain amount of mercuric chloride is sprinkled on the bottom fire plate, the trigger is pulled, the hammer hits the needle, and the needle hits the bottom fire plate, and the mercuric chloride is detonated.

The flame ignited the propellant through the fire hole and ejected the projectile.

As can be seen from the above introduction, forsyth's gun was first filled with mercury in a container. Later, he put it

Leimercury is spread between two pieces of paper and further made into a paper roll "fire hat". 1808, French firearms engineer Li Bao.

Use a paper fire cap and light it with a needle. From then on, the bullet began to transition from sub-packaging to fixed loading, but

Shell casings are made of paper. 18 14 years, an Englishman, Chishua Shaw, invented the copper-thunder-mercury fire cap and made it into a firing mechanism.

Ignition technology has taken another big step forward. 182 1 year, Richards of Birmingham, England invented the "detonation" of paper fire caps.

Guns. "1825, Dellinger, an American, invented a firing pistol with a firing cap.

Henry Dellinger is a famous American gun craftsman. The firing pistol he invented has a beautiful appearance and is also made by himself.

It's exquisite. There are various models. The barrel is 25.4 mm short and 100 mm long; Minimum caliber

It's 8 o'clock. 38 mm, the largest is 13.7 mm. The pistol used by the assassin Pus to assassinate Lincoln is11j mm.

Dellinger ignition gun is a single-tube fixed structure, which adopts box locking machine and is made of copper. This gun is easy to carry,

Simple structure, especially suitable for short-distance emergency. However, because the murderer used him to assassinate the American people.

Dear President Lincoln, so Lu Haijun refused to use this gun.

The gun was later developed into a multi-barrel gun, and some cowboys in the western United States often wore jeans and big heads.

Along the hat, with a multi-barrel gun, riding a good horse everywhere. This multi-barrel gun is faster than a single-shot gun.

The firing gun significantly improves the firing reliability of firearms, has good waterproof performance, and has a big failure of "blind fire".

The amplitude decreases. When using a flintlock gun, there will be a "blind fire" for every 7 bullets on average, which is bigger than using a firing gun.

It takes about 200 bullets to fire before the phenomenon of "blind fire" occurs. The appearance of the firing gun marks the development of the gun.

Has entered a new stage.
