	I Found a Pin Fire Cartridge and Bullet « on: July 02, 2009, 01:26:10 PM »

Found these a while back.

First time I found a pin fire cartridge that still had
tha pin in it.

If ya want to know a little about pin fire guns, read
on.

Here is a whole pin fire cartridge. You can see that
the pin is inserted into the casing.

So, how does it work.

Simple.

You can see tha pin being inserted.

Here is inside tha casing before tha percussion cap
is in place.

Here is inside tha casing after tha percussion cap is
in place.

A picture’s worth a thousand words, idin it?

The gun simply hits down on tha pin and tha percussion
cap ignites tha powder.

Here’s an example of a pin fire revolver.

Thanks fer lOOkin,

Tabdog

•1509: Wheel lock guns - wicks were replaced the wheel lock that generated a spark for igniting the gunpowder.
•1630: Flintlock guns - the flintlock did two things mechanically, it opened the lid of the flash pan and provided an igniting spark.
•1825: Percussion-cap guns invented by Reverend John Forsyth - firing mechanism no longer uses flash pan, a tube lead straight into the gun barrel, the tupe had an exposive cap on it that exploded when struck
•1830: Back action lock
•1835: Colt revolver - first mass-produced, multi-shot, revolving firearms
•1840: Pin-fire cartridges
•1850: Shotguns
•1859: Full rim-fire cartridge
•1860: Spencer repeating carbine patented
•1861: Breech loaded guns
•1862: Gatling Gun
•1869: Center-fire cartridge
