The Gun and Its Development; with Notes on Shooting by William Wellington Greener Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885* edition. Excerpt: ...Colt Revolver, and the cartridge cases are removed after firing, by working a rammer placed beneath the barrel. We illustrate one of the smaller models in Fig. 257. It is known as the "Bull-dog " and takes the-380 long cartridge; other sizes, as-410, 442. " 450 are made, but they are heavier and more cumbrous than the English patterns. All these revolvers are expensive, and as they are not self-extracting, English revolvers of the best make are preferred to them, and they art also much more handy SELF-EXTRACTING REVOLVERS. The idea of making revolvers self-extracting appears to have originated with M. Galand, a Belgian maker, but his ideas were rapidly improved upon. Amongst the earlier self-extracting revolvers was the "Thomas," which we illustrate in Fig. 258; by turning over the barrel and forcing it forward an inch and a half, the fired cases are ejected as shown. This is accomplished by having the barrel and chamber to slide along the chamber spindle and body of the pistol; the extractor being fast to the spindle retains the cartridge cases until the chamber is clear of them. A further improvement is the " Self-extracting Revolver." This principle of ejecting the cases originated, we believe, with Messrs. Smith and Wesson of the United States, but it has been improved upon considerably both in England and Belgium. We illustrate one of the improved revolvers in Fig. 259. The improvement mainly consists in the method of making fast the barrel and chambers to the pistol body and in the employment of a rebounding cock. Large quantities of these revolvers are made in Belgium in imitation of our " Bull-dog" and " Irish Constabulary " models. The English Army Revolver made upon...

The Gun and Its Development (Classic Reprint) by W. W. Greener Pdf

Excerpt from The Gun and Its Development This book, first published in 1881, was written with a view to supplying such information relative to fire-arms as is most frequently sought by a sportsman Owing to numerous recent inventions it became necessary not only to rearrange the matter, but to rewrite the book when the sixth edition was needed. The author thanks those critics who have pointed out literal faults in this book, and he has done his best to remove ambiguities and correct errors. He sees no reason to make any alteration of importance, and, in matters of Opinion, adheres to what he has already written, so that this ninth edition is, with the exception of a few minor alterations and some additional pages upon Gun Trials, Single Trigger mechanisms, Miniature rifles and the Rifle Club movement, practically a reprint of the last one. In the arrangement of this treatise the author has followed a method which appears to him the best suited to convey an accurate idea of different small arms and of their capabilities under varying conditions. From the nature of the subjects treated it is impossible that the book could be wholly free from technicalities, but no endeavour has been spared to make the contents readable intricate mechanisms, instead of being described in detail, have been freely illustrated; technical data are presented in tabular form, and theories relative to the action of explosives, the flight of bullets and shot pellets, have been concisely explained. The thanks of the author are due to many sportsmen and others who by their investigations and experience have added to his knowledge of guns and gunnery possibly in some instances the sources upon which the author has drawn have not been acknowledged, but the omissions are unintentional.

The Story of the Gun by Paul J. Hazell Pdf

This engaging and accessible book explains the scientific principles behind guns, both ancient and modern. It connects their evolution to advances in science, as well as tracing the developments of projectiles and propellants. It is not limited to small arms but also looks at the science of enormous guns such the Paris Gun, for example, and reviews the efforts to build a gun to launch projectiles into space. Extremely fast guns are also covered, such as two-stage guns and rail guns. Further, the book provides insight into the science of terminal ballistics and wound ballistics as well as the challenging subject of gun control. It is full of interesting facts for all who are curious about the science and history of guns, as well as those for whom the gun is an accessory of their profession.

After the Shot Drops by Randy Ribay Pdf

A powerful novel about friendship, basketball, and one teen's mission to create a better life for his family. Written in the tradition of Jason Reynolds, Matt de la Pe a, and Walter Dean Myers, After the Shot Drops now has three starred reviews * "Belongs on the shelf alongside contemporary heavy-hitters like Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give, Brendan Kiely and Jason Reynolds's All-American Boys, and Nic Stone's Dear Martin."--School Library Journal, starred review Bunny and Nasir have been best friends forever, but when Bunny accepts an athletic scholarship across town, Nasir feels betrayed. While Bunny tries to fit in with his new, privileged peers, Nasir spends more time with his cousin, Wallace, who is being evicted. Nasir can't help but wonder why the neighborhood is falling over itself to help Bunny when Wallace is in trouble. When Wallace makes a bet against Bunny, Nasir is faced with an impossible decision--maybe a dangerous one. Told from alternating perspectives, After the Shot Drops is a heart-pounding story about the responsibilities of great talent and the importance of compassion.
