How Do Guns Grow To Be Better

A firearm is one of the weapons that may be used when hunting. A firearm utilizes pressure produced from the burning of gunpowder to create gas. The pressure produced from the burning powder propels a projectile out of the barrel at a target. In rifles and most handguns the barrel has rifling on the inside of the barrel to make the projectile spin to travel better in the air. Rifling are groove that spin as they go through the inside of the barrel. Shotgun barrels are smooth and can fire “slugs”, a single projectile, or “shot”,

The rifle was invented in late industrial age because in the early industrial age, soldiers fought on horse or foot with a weapon called a muzzle-loading musket which was a single firing gun with a very slow rate of fire

Next in the development of machine guns came the Maxim, the machine gun with only one barrel. This gun with a belt of bullets that fed in one side and the empty belt came out the other side. It used the explosion from the bullets firing to load the next bullet. With the use of different

gunpowder itself. Such as where was it originated, when was it originated, and how did it

To understand the gun topic you first have to learn the terms a pistol, or hand gun is a gun that the name states you use the gun held in your hand normally used for close range. A revolver is a hand gun that instead of the ammo being fed into the chamber, it is in a round shaped tube with different chambers that rotate in a clockwise motion around the barrel of the gun. A shotgun can either be semi-automatic, where you have to pull the trigger every time you shoot. Pump action, where you have to pull the trigger pump the action on the gun to chamber another shell. The last is not legal to most citizens, but a fully automatic weapon once you pull the trigger as long as you hold down the trigger it will fire till your run out of ammo. Shot guns shoot shot or gauges that are little bb’s or ball bearings. Rifles come in all different makes, models, and sizes. From lever action where you have to cock a lever to chamber a round, to bolt actin where you have to pull back a bolt to chamber the next round, to semi auto and full auto. These guns are for long range and are meant to give the ability to reach out and touch an object. Machine or submachine guns can be used in semi-automatic, three round burst, or full auto. No matter how big or small all guns are either

The first cannon was found in Sweden and was dated back to 1326. It was used at the battle of Crecy in 1346. Cannons changed the tide of the war. They could take down ships blow up groups of people and you could stuff screws and nails in the cannon and fire it called grape shot. The first step to load a cannon is you take the worm (sacrapos) and Coleman the barrel. The second step is to use the Ladle (Cuchara) and lightly dip it in the waste and stick it down the barrel, to make sure all the sparks are out. The third step is to put the cannon gal, i. With a bag of gunpowder and use the rammer (Atacador) to pack them in the cannon. The fourth step is to use the Vent Pick to break the bag of gunpowder. The fifth step is to step back and light the

Hiram Maxim created Machine Gun and in 1883, he created the first multi bullet-firing weapon. This lead to wider development of automatic weapons which were later used in war. (Note: the 1862 Gatling gun which was ran by hand cranking.)

Gunpowder was used in guns, canyons. The charcoal came from a common gas that people used to cook on, it's called lit stove, you have to turn the nozzle all the way down to light it and then put you gas to the tempature you want it at. When all these ingriediants are. MIxed together they can make gunpowder. The invention of gunpowder was used into many things it was used into fire works, then Chinese realized it could be used in a war

     Weapons have been around from the Neanderthals of the post-ice age, to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Rocks became knives, sticks became spears, and bayonets became AK-47’s. The technology from the French and Indian War was revolutionized and manufactured by the newly opened weaponry companies. Colt

Another gun which branches from the rifle is the machine gun. The Germans were mainly the ones who would take the credit for the invention of the machine

During the American Civil War (1861), Richard J. Gatling invented a firearm weapon that aided with loading, reliability, and the firing of sustained bursts. Born and raised in Hertford County, North Carolina Gatling grew up to be a physician and became involved in many organizations such as the Order of American Knights. The Gatling gun is a machine gun composed of multiple barrels that rotates around a central axis that has the ability of firing at a rapid speed. Before his invention, he followed the path of an inventor and soon after he devoted himself to the perfection of firearms. After his invention of the machine gun he then founded the Gatling Gun Company.

While experimenting with life lengthening elixirs, Chinese alchemist discovered gunpowder. Gunpowder was first used as an incendiary compound, also commonly known as fire producing compound. It was used to light the tip of arrows on fire to create flame arrows. The first actual handheld firearm was a bronze gun that dates back to 1333. The invention of this new form of powder, that is used in stronger

Gunpowder was invented long before the Europeans were introduced to it. Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese in the ninth century .

When gunpowder was made people thought it might be a good mining tool. What they thought was right so they used it and it worked! Then they thought it might make a good weapon they were right on this to. It became the recipe of every weapon (Whipps).
