WAR WEAPONS OF THE PASt'
i
j Crude Originals of the Modern Long
, Ranje Death Cealcn.
The commonest Injuries produced In
| war are gunshot wounds. Until fifty i
years ago a soldier's mu3ket tarried j
only about S33 feet, and this degree of
efficiency had not been exceeded for
uiore than 200 years—namely, from
1040 to 1S:0. In other words, the wars
if Louis XIV., the struggle^ of the
F.-cneh revolution, the Napoleonic
wars, the Crimean war an 1 our ivnr of
1812 were all fought with firearms
which had no effect at a distance
gtcater than S.V> feet In 1S.17. how
ever, the smoothbore gun barrel was
replaced by the rilled barrel, mid this
cl ange caused an immediate increase
in the carrying distance to 2.060 feet
At the time this result seemed to tho
whole worl.l nothing short of a miracle,
but as early as 18W5 a French officer,
I Clmssepot by name. Invented a ride t
| having a caliber of 15 millimeters, J
| which carried 4,000 feet. Ten years be- '
j fore this accomplishment would have ]
seemed quite Impossible. On Nov. 4. i
i If 07. tho new Clmssepot rlfie wis sub- [
witted to a practical test. The French i
! sent a detachment of men to occupy '
j Rome and to hold it against the nd
I vnncemeut of Gurlbtildi. The effect of
I the new ride In the engagements was
so remarkable that the entire French
, army was immediately equipped with ,
j Chassei>ots.
I The Chassepot ride weighed nine
pounds, and the Gr::s rltle. which was
• Introduced In 1S74. weighed nearly as
much, but It had n carrying distance of
0,000 feet. After remaining the saro;>
i for 217 years, the carrying distance of
firearms was thus increased in fifteen
years by 5,105 feet. At the same time
| the firearms of tho Austrian?, i'ms
siaus and Italians were also greatly
] improved, aud a repeating rifle tiring
oisteou shots a minute and having a
; carrying distance of 9.000 feet earn?
j Into practical use.
| The rifle-; In use today are much
i Ugbfer, are more easily handled and
carry a distance of more than !2,lij0
feet at the rate of 2.700 feet per sec
ond. The revolver was first Introduced
In 1S50; since thcu It has also under
gone great Improvement. Its carrying
distance, which at first was only about
100 feet, was Increased to HoO feet,
, then CS0, arid finally 4.1:00 feel,
I In comparison with such means of
defejjse aad offense It is Interesting to
call to mind the weapons of the an
clents. A javelin could be thrown
about eighty-four feet: the sling ordi
narily hurled IN missile 210 "eet. the
i Balearic slingtr.CD hrijg famous, how
ever, because they could hurl a stono
I &'.o feet The wooden bow was In use
I until the middle of the fifteenth eeu
• tury; by uicaus of it an arrow could ba
' propclleJ a dif'. 'u o of 2)5 "30 feet.
! while the steel cros l:nw. which oamo
Into use later, carried from 330 to 310
feet The oid blunderbuss of t lie pil
grims, which was supported on a fork,
was effective for about .MX) feet The
early musket carriiil about 000 feet
This firearm was much inj|.roved, so
I that it could shoot a dUtauce of S33
feet, and t'.iis was the best the world
J knew until 1S~. - Philadelphia Press
