Firearms, an important part of our history
There
has
seldom
been
a
man
made
object
that
has
had
such
an
overwhelming
influence
on
our
world
in
cultural,
technical
and historical respect, as firearms. Historical firearms are cultural assets and are worth being collected.
This website is an attempt to give an overview of the development of Muzzle Loaders in words, drawings and pictures.
The
author
obtained
a
considerable
part
of
his
experience
by
studying
the
construction
of
weapons,
their
manufacturing
process
and
functions.
It
is
also
important
to
understand
the
relevance
of
historical
periods,
their
style,
sciences,
handcrafts,
materials and propellants.
The
attempt
of
our
armory
is
to
give
you
in
a
clear
and
systematical
way
an
insight
into
the
technical
development
of
firearms and their technical details.
