#Maxim #Machine #Gun - 1885 In 1881, a friend of Hiram Maxim, the American inventor, told him: "If you wanted to make a lot of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each other's throats with. Hiram Maxim was born in Sangersville, Maine in 1840 and was the inventor of the Maxim Machine Gun and the Maxim Silencer.

#Gatling #Gun - 1861 Doctor Richard Gatling patented his design of the "Gatling Gun", a six-barreled #weapon capable of firing a (then) phenomenal 200 rounds per minute.

Rifle Scopes A #rifle #scope is a refractor telescope used on a rifle. In 1880, August Fiedler (Stronsdorf), forestry commissioner of Prince Reuss, managed to build the first telescopic sight that really did work.

Samuel Gardiner, Jr. received a U.S. Patent in 1863 on a "high explosive #rifle #bullet" in .54, .58, and .69 calibers. Fused to explode 1 1/4 seconds after firing, it ensured that any soldier hit by the projectile with a range of 400 yards faced the danger of the bullet exploding within the impact wound. The U.S. Government purchased 110,000 rounds of such ammunition for issue during the Civil War. Criticizing the use of similar ammunition by the Confederates, General Ulysses S. Grant complained that "their use is barbarous because they produce increased suffering without any increased advantage to using them."

ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.

Air rifles are guns that use pumped, compressed air to shoot small metal pellets at high speeds. These pellets are fired with enough force that they can kill small animals, like squirrels, rabbits and birds. They are a perfect substitute for a real gun for hunting small game.
