Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historic overview of gunnery from the 1300s to mid-1800s, focusing on projectile weaponry like cannons, muskets, and pistols. The author deconstructs gunpowder's elements (nitre, charcoal, sulphur) and highlights its use as both an explosive and propellant. Through a scientific lens, the author reveals how gunpowder's explosive force became successfully harnessed for weaponry. The text provides deep analysis of manufacturing practices in the gunsmithing industry and how historical advancements in projectile weapons were directly influenced by the discovery and refinement of gunpowder.
