And Steve, as you well know, no study of firearms is complete without trying to figure out the genius and path of it all. In the age of oak ships and fighting sail there is some amazing stuff. Rather a journey through all kinds of sciences, myth, religious doctrine, iron and brass casting technology as was known at the time, chemistry of explosives, then as now. As time allows, I try to figure this stuff out, kind of a hobby deal.
