Percussion Locks.-The question as to using
percussion locks n the army is about to be deci.
dsd in France. By experiments made 10 the Hano.
verian army, 1t appears that out OF $40 muskets
with percussion locks, consuming together 27,.
900 cartridges, there were only 81 that missed
fire from the failure Of the printing, and 72 from
defect in the charge. making in all 90; while out
of the same number Of muskets with flint locks,
burning the same quantity OF cartridges, 1448
missed fire from the printing. and S78 from the
charge, making together 1926. The experiments
did not stop here. 1t VAS desired to ascertain
the effect Of firing each species Of musket reitera.
tedly for long time without being cleaned. E.
ieseu committees returned that out of 90 percus-
sion muskets, firing 1000 shuts, eight failed in
same number Of muskets with flint locks, COZ
shots failed from the printing, aud 599 from the
charge, IN all 500
exposing the nuskets to a constant RAIN, by vet.
ting the nside Of the can. and BY putting drop
of water into the touch hole The result was,
that the percussion guns, after being exposed to
the injuries Of the weather, or even constant
rain, we're much more to be relied upon than
those with flint locks. Marshal Soult, who had
been for long time impressed with the advanta-
ges to be derived from the use Of percussion guns
resolved to renew the above experiments in
France; and last year committee OF officers, by
his direction, repeated all the experiments, and
their report completely establishes the suprema'
cy of the percussion lock. At this moment
however, nearly $500 muskets Of all The differ
ent kinds have been fitted up with percussion
locks, in order to make last and grand trial.
