In my essay I chose to write about Henry Repeating Rifles. I choose to write about this because it was the first repeating rifle designed and patented and it changed the civil war hugely. The repeating rifle was made in 1860 by Benjamin Tyler Henry. It took him three years for him design the repeating rifle. The henry rifle shot a .44-40 or .45 long colt a more powerful round for that time. For a civil war soldier it was his point of pride and would often brag about it in letters back home calling it his “Sixteen” for the amount of rounds it held.…
The Model 1887, not as popular with the hunters, gave the bad guys of the west an advantage. The 1887 had a magazine capacity of six shots, four more than the overly popular double barrel. The "six shooter" was available in a 10-gauge and 12-gauge black powder shotgun. Production ran for fourteen years and just under 65,000 shotguns were produced. This guns standard barrel lengths came in thirty inches, thirty-two inches, and a special "riot gun" was offered in a twenty inch barrel (Silva).…

The Gatling Gun was first introduced in the Civil War, at the Battle of Petersburg. This machine was exceptionally useful for the North, which benefited the Union, securing a winning victory. Unfortunately, the gun wasn’t used much, as it was established during the end of the war.…
1. “Before leaving a corpse, Elijah tells me he has taken to opening each man’s eyes and staring into them, then closing them with his calloused right hand, letting a strange spark of warmth accumulate deep in his gut each time that he does it, noting the colour of the iris knowing that he, Elijah, is the last thing that each will see before being placed into the cold mud and water here. Before they go to their place.” (pg 200)…
One of the weapons used during the Russian Revolution was the 130mm/55 (5.1). The Model 1913 was the Russian produced version of this weapon. The Mark A and Mark B versions were produced for Russia by the British firm of Vickers. The Mark A was manufactured prior to World War I while the Mark B was manufactured during World War II. This weapon was originally a cartridge gun, but the Russian Navy wanted a cheaper and simpler design, so Obukhov modified the weapon to use bag ammunition with a Welin breech-block. In 1913 the Obukhov factory received an order for 471 of these guns. By 1917, 147 guns had been manufactured with the balance to be delivered in 1917 through 1918. However, due to the Russian Revolution, these remaining weapons were never completed. In addition to the guns built by Obukhov, a further 100 guns were ordered from Vickers in 1913 with most of them being delivered by 1917. The Royal Navy considered this weapon for arming DAMS during World War I, but decided against it as it would have added yet another medium-caliber weapon to the inventory. The Russians used these guns to rearm some of the older protected cruisers, as secondary armament on Imperatrisa Maria class battleships and as main armament for the new Svetlana class light cruisers. By 1917 the Naval Ministry had 117 guns on hand plus some additional guns used for coastal defense under army command. During the Russian Civil War these guns armed many river gunboats and barges. Redesigns during the 1920s and 1930s attempted to increase elevation, but these were not particularly successful and none were adopted for general service use. However, in 1930 two mounts with +40 degree elevation were built for river monitor Udarny. By 1941 there were over a hundred remaining guns in the Soviet Navy. Vickers delivered 55 guns and 55 spare barrels for the Mark B during the latter half of World War II. In addition, the USA supplied shrapnel rounds for these weapons during World War…

The Civil War Trust Organization states how the revolution of small arms was highlighted by a changeover in shoulder-fired weapons from smoothbore firearms, that had to be loaded through the muzzle each time it was fired, to rifled-barrel firearms, for which some could be reloaded at breech. In an article titled “Weapons of the Civil War,” Matthew Kent, a North Carolina State University author, discusses the importance of new features in the advanced firearms, and how they dramatically changed it’s usability and functioning. The creation of percussion cap systems lead to the new wave of rifles and revolvers having an increased rate of fire. Additionally, the French Minié ball bullet was used with the new firearms and it greatly increased accuracy instead of the traditional ball-style bullet, that was previously used in past wars. Handguns were fast which then became the additional weapon of choice for many soldiers, replacing swords of past battles, due to their portability and relative accuracy. This revolution of small arms to faster-firing arms in the American Civil War, dramatically changed tactics and how soldiers fought in…
The U.S. Army was looking for a new sidearm after its .38 caliber revolver proved incapable of stopping attackers in there campaign against the Moros in the Philippines. After a few years of testing the military choose the Colt model 1911. The Colt model 1911 met the criteria of the army because of its large .45 caliber bullet. Also the Colt 1911 was semi-auto allowing for quick reload times in the chaos of battle but, it still didn’t meet the quality requirements of the Army so John Browning went back and fine tuned each part. Upon returning the pistol to the Army for testing it passed the quality tests. Due to these advantages the Colt model 1911 was adopted as the official sidearm of the U.S. Armed Forces on March 29th 1911(Askins28).…
