Alexander Forsyth was the first to conceive the idea of igniting gunpowder by means of striking a priming fulminate mixture. The author traces Forsyth's development of his scent-bottle model through to sliding locks. He moves on to Pauly and his breech loader, and goes on to describe punch-locks, muzzle and breech-loading cap guns, tape, disc and cap magazine guns.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668911128875,"sku":"14380","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/early-percussion-firearms","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
