Using Vb.net Program With Dongle

"The ball is insane. The bayonet knows what it does." (Suvorov)




Let's face it, the players always find a way of coming to blows during a game, with unfortunate NPCs that may have nothing requested. Very
demand during those periods of war, social conflict and luxury, the gunsmiths of the time have developed a wealth of ingenuity Here are a few original examples: left to speak the iron and the powder, at least with the class, we are in the nineteenth damn!

cane sword

Contrary to popular belief, the cane-sword or "sticks stuffed" is not the prerogative of the nineteenth century because its use is found in the sixteenth anecdotally and especially at the end of XVIII, particularly in France after the Revolution, when all weapons were confiscated.
the nineteenth, she is having some success with the "refined" and the dandies, who can not bring himself to wear a sword, vulgar warlike symbol, without provided set alongside the "unexpected" (the streets at night are far from being safe) and "honor points" (Duels): Rimbaud himself would have to strike compromises, drunk, photographer Etienne Carjat cane-sword with his friend Albert Merat.
The popularity of the weapon, that may also be a wealth of elegance and cope easily with a business suit, since it is invisible, will grow and remain in bourgeois circles until the early twentieth century.

Most cane-sword rarely exceed 80cm (standard size of an ordinary cane) and consists of a case depths (in hazel wood or bamboo Malacca for more frequent, silver, ivory or ebony for the smartest) and a rigid stainless steel blade, about fifty centimeters. The closure system is "simple" (it releases the gun at a pressure), "double" or "twisting" (unscrew the handle to pull the sword from the scabbard) to avoid untoward accidents.
There are different styles of handles and sheath, the smaller the more elegantly carved, like, after all, a walking stick at the time. Sword-canes and walking sticks "stinger" (with a touch gushing at the end) were also common.
thing notable women could wear the most adventurous cane-sword, which was also back in fashion accessories.

Firearms personal

If the United States multiplied the revolutionary improvements in the field of firearms, Europe, she has rarely been more traditional models.
Collectibles, Luxury and defense, firearms are in high demand after the first industrial revolution and the dealers are not idle.
The first innovation to occur this century, when the saltpetre, unstable and prone to moisture, is replaced by fulminating powders, more explosive is the emergence of the first "platinum tube", the dog hits small capsules filled with fulminate brass and triggers the explosion that propels the bullet (ammunition) previously charged by the barrel.
The principle leads to the creation of one of the most common personal weapons in Europe: "pepper", has several rotating cannons, each armed with their own cap of fulminate: a flick of the wrist (as if one turning a pepper shaker) was thus sufficient to reload the weapon. The accidents were however rare fulminate is very explosive, several capsules could explode at the same time, releasing all the ammunition stored in the barrels at once.

The step towards the cylinder automatic, the "revolver" is made by the famous Samuel Colt in 1837 and a resounding success in the U.S., but remain "marginal" in Europe, where it will be considered a luxury item . It will decline in the traditional "six-stroke" but also "three strikes" for models or five bullets of a caliber greater: the dealer will in any case, plenty of time to arrange the weapons on request.

Other models of guns, as the "Volcanic" with the weapon reloading is done by activating a lever that the trigger is lowered quickly, enjoyed less success (the only model that really is the rifle pierced Windchester ). It Hits

will everyone!

It is difficult to quantify the total pattern of self-defense weapon that has been produced throughout the nineteenth but it is certain that the progress of industry, economy, security issues inside and outside major industrialized countries and even the fashion has probably been the age Golden gun. Miniaturization of weapons in the form of canes, watches, rings, crucifixes, nothing seemed to stop the imagination of dealers and their customers, who seemed to want to combine luxury, modernity and security in the same subject: Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, also became one of making first-model mobile charger automatic pistol, which he never used, but was plated with gold and precious stones.

To give you an idea and finally, a small link sympathetic to these bizarre creations are sure to give you ideas for your future parties.
