WAR WEAPONS OF THE PAST.
Crude Originals of the Modern Long
Range Death Dealers.

Range Death Dealers.
The commonest injuries produced In
war are gunshot wounds. Until fifty
years ago a soldiers musket carried
only about S35 feet. and this degree of
efficiency had not been exceeded for
more than 200 years-namely. from
1640 to 1850. In other words, the wars
of Louis XIV, the struggles of the
French revolution, the Napoleonic
wars, the Crimean war and our war Of
1872 were all fought with firearms
which had no effect at a distance
greater than S35 feet In 1857. how
ever, the smoothbore gun barrel was
replaced by the rified barrel, and this
change caused an immediate increase
In the carrying distance to 1000 feet.
At the time this result seemed to tho
whole world nothing short of a miracle.
but as early as 1866 a French officer.
Chassepot by name, invented a rifle
having a caliber of Is millimeters.
which carried 1000 feet. Ten years be-
fore this accomplishment would have
seemed quite impossible. On Nov. 4.
| 1867, the new Chassepot rifle was sub
mitted to practical test The French
sent a detachment Of men to occupy
Rome and to hold it against the adj
vancement of Garibaldi. The effect Of
the new rifle In the engagements was
so remarkable that the entire French
army was Immediately equipped with
Chassepots.
The Chassepot rifle weighed nine
pounds. and the Gras rifle, which was
introduced in 1874, weighed nearly as
much, but it had carrying distance of
5000 feet After remaining the same
firearms was thus increased in fifteen
years by 5,165 feet. At the same time
the firearms of the Austrians, Prus-
slams and Italians were also greatly
improved, and a repeating rifle firing
sixteen shots a minute and having a
carrying distance of 1900 feet came
into practical use.
The rifles In use today are much
lighter, are more easily handled and
carry distance Of more than 10000
feet at the rate of 2,70O feet per sec.
ond. The revolver was first introduced
in 1885, since then 1t has also under
gone great improvement. Its carrying
distance, which at first was only about
100 feet, was increased to $50 feet
then $50, and finally 1000 feet.
In comparison with such means OF
defense and offense it is interesting t.
