History firearm is a rich and colorful theme, which is not without some controversy. The first gun had been paid for and used in Europe, China or the Middle East. Once the weapon was an instrument of military policy, history is much more clear and well documented. Today there are many manufacturers of weapons around the world continue to develop and produce arms not only for the military, but also for the common person.
The first gun
Gunpowder was invented crucial needfor the development of weapons and firearms. China was the first documented evidence that exists on the use of gunpowder. In the fifth century AD, scientific articles documenting the composition and properties of gunpowder. At the point in the history of gunpowder was used primarily for medical purposes and "medicine fire." The oldest surviving witness of a real gun in Sichuan province in China. The bronze sculpture was the 12 Century BC.
The Middle East is in contradictionCounts in the 13 st Century. Al Hassan said the gun used against the Mongol invasion of the Mamluks at Ain Jalut 1260. Other accounts of this time in history, say the Mongols introduced the technology of gunpowder and firearms to the Mamelukes.
In Europe, the first documented use of firearms in Russia. A chronicle of the sites Tochtamyschs attack in Moscow in 1382, Moscow has more weapons to defend their city from the Golden Horde credited.
And 'interesting to note thatthe first mention of weapons in the Middle East and Europe, include both the Mongols. Since the Mongols conquered China in the early 13 century, it is reasonable to conclude that the weapon he invented for the first time in China and the rest of the known world after witnessing and experiencing its potential in the hands of the Mongol Empire.
The Auto
The history of the development firearm and is dominated by the west of this point. As with most technologies, theearly developments in miniaturization. In the mid 14 Century appeared, hand guns. You should light a fuse and paste it into the barrel or flashpan to light the powder.
In the 15 th century, Fuse, appeared in Europe. The main advantage was the ability to keep both hands on the gun when firing. The matchcord it was a clip that flashpan if the user would trigger the mechanism lowered attachment. This could be a button, trigger, or simplyPulling a rope. The fuse was the main weapon of the European armies to the Century 18 / 1.
While the wheels locking and firing mechanism SnapLock weapons manufacturing safer and more effective weapons, it was not until the arrival of the flintlock musket, which has moved. The stone castle was much more useful for hunters, military and civilians, because they would only produce a spark when burning, and only in flashpan. The burning cable could give people a position of fuseis the smell of burning rope or its splendor during the night.
The stone castle was the weapon of choice until the mid-19 th Century. Breach-loaders were available in the 15 Century, but it was the weapon of choice, advances in metallurgy and machine guns made them viable for hunters and military. The ability to mass production of weapons and ammunition made it possible to share an identical ammunition and easy to repair firearms in the field.
The cartridgewill be used gunpowder and the bullet. The course will be extended to the rest of the weapon so that they can be easily accessible for the insertion of the cartridge. For some time the gun was even fired a flashpan. If the cartridges have been designed, which would also include the firing mechanism, the focus has changed back to development.
Rate Of Fire
The cartridges are completely independent, with the impetus brought to invent automatic weapons. Shoot more rounds per minute wasan important factor in military strategy. In the 19 th century the U.S. Navy was to take the first military automatic weapons, if they have made use of the Gatling gun. Gatling guns were turning a crank that turned the six barrels fired at a central point.
The next big step in the history of firearms by Sir Hiram Maxim, a mechanism used to the recoil energy to eject spent cartridge case and load a new development. This allowed the weapon to be loaded veryfaster and then fire more shots per minute. World War II saw the Maxim machine gun is an integral part of military arsenals to be.
Between World War I and World War II began many arms manufacturers working on projects for automatic weapons over his project would be Maxim. The M2 Browning has seen significant adoption in the Second World War, for example.
Modern History From Fire
Today, the history of modern firearms is not dominated by individual inventors, but by producersaround the world. Ishmash, a manufacturer is responsible for the Soviet AK-47. The AK-47 is probably the most popular automatic weapon in the world. The AR-15 is also very popular around the world. Although, it is better known by his name known U.S. military M-16. It 'produced by Armalite, Colt, and several other companies.
Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta of Italy produces some of the most popular guns in the world. The Beretta 92, for example, is a question of series in the United States military.The Austrian manufacturer Glock Ges mbH is well known for the Glock 17 Glock 17 is to do a polymer composite instead of steel or other metal connection for most of the components, including the body of the weapon.
The future of the history of firearms will be dominated by their durability and lightness. The weapons are suitable for the desert, swamp and arctic conditions to which users require. Manufacturers such as the Heckler and Koch, Glock and others are already paving the way forResearch and development.
