Why is lonnie G Johnson is important?
He is important because he invented the supersoaker and the Nerf ball gun
What was it like before gunpowder was invented?
Before gun powder was made, there were knights and castles. Due to gunpowder, castles weren't made anymore because they couldn't stand cannon ball assaults. Knights didn't exist because after the gun was invented, there were no need for swords and jousts. Then came infantrys (soldiers on foot with weaponry).
Why does a cannon and a cannon ball have different accelerations when it is fired?
The cannon (also called artillery or gun or field piece) has no acceleration. It's just a stationary tube; a gun barrel.The cannon ball (also called a shell or projectile) travels at a speed determined by it's propellent charge; interior of the gun tube (rifled or smoothbore); length of gun tube; and the caliber of the weapon (gun size).As a rule: Larger projectiles travel slower; rifled barrels shoot slower projectiles; shorter gun tube have shorter ranges; smaller powder charges (propellent) travel smaller distances.I'm sorry, but the cannon does accelerate in the opposite direction of the cannon ball. This is called recoil. Old cannons simply rolled backwards as a result of recoil and had to be manually pulled forward again and reaimed. Modern artillery pieces all use recoil absorbing mechanisms that permit the barrel to recoil without moving the carriage, then automatically reextend the barrel.To answer the original question, the cannon is heavier and the ball is lighter, therefor the ball accelerates faster than the cannon.
Why does sw model 1000 jam?
Auto shotguns most often jam because they need a thorough cleaning. If the gun is clean, it may need adjustment or repair. You are best off toaking the gun to a gunsmith for assessment.
What was the first German machine gun?
The first one manufactured in Germany was the Maxim Model 08, which they had to licence from the British, and which was designed by an American. After the war, "German" machine guns get a bit iffy... the Treaty of Versailles prevented Germany from developing military arms, so, as a loophole, they did their military development outside of Germany, in countries such as Sweden and the Soviet Union.
