This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating document was a paper first published by the Society of Antiquaries in 1829. Its significance lies both as an able and well documented review of the early history of hand firearms, and a summary of the state of knowledge of that subject in the 1820's. Many of the earliest shooting and hunting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firearms expert “traces the history of the ‘one hand gun’ from its 14th century origins . . . surveying changing technology, techniques, and design” (Midwest Book Review). Ideally suited for both attack and self-defense, handguns have gotten smaller and deadlier. But the earliest pistols had a tendency to misfire. This was cured by the cap-lock, which proved a massive success in the American Civil War, with hundreds of thousands of cap-lock revolvers used on each side. Self-contained metal-case cartridges were to bring a fundamental change to handgun design: not only by allowing the introduction of revolvers that ejected automatically or were easily reloaded, but also by paving the way for the automatic pistol. World War I provided the handgun with a proving ground. At the end of the hostilities, with so much surplus weaponry, work on the handgun could have ceased; instead, a new developmental phase was begun by the nations that had emerged from the crumbling Imperial empires. During World War II, the efficiency of well-established designs was confirmed and new designs, such as the Walther P. 38, showed their potential. The emergence of the submachine-gun in 1945 reduced the status of the handgun—but only temporarily. The need for efficient self-defense shows no signs of lessening; and the rise in shooting for sport, particularly with the revolver, has sharpened the quest for efficiency. The never ending search for advanced production techniques shows that the handgun has as much a future in the twenty-first century as it had in the heyday of the Wild West, or in the trenches of Passchendaele.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of the History and Development of Hand Firearms, From the Earliest Period to About the End of the Fifteenth Century Lated powder had been abandoned for a season, the reason for which is unknown, and resumed at a later period. Possibly the cause of this lies in the structural weakness of the earlier hand-guns. That this was the case with ordnance is tolerably certain, and caused by the imperfect welding together of the strips of iron of which the cannon were composed, rather than from any deficiency in the tensile strength of the iron. In Codex germ. 600, at Munich, a ms. Dating probably towards the end of the second half of the fourteenth century, which will be more particularly referred to later on in these pages, two kinds of gunpowder are mentioned one described as schlecht.
