Эволюция снаряжения и оружия Томаса Аткинса

Вот опять попалось на глаза, решил выложить здесь. 

Очень наглядно. Полезно. Особенно, когда не надо совсем углубляться в заклёпки. Но нужно иметь хотя бы общее представление. 

UPD  К чему нашел, добавил описание. Но на английском только, к сожалению.

It had an effective range of 100 meters but was capable of firing to 250 meters. It fired a .75 musket ball made of lead, which was contained as part of a paper tube made from Cartridge Grade paper which contained gunpowder. The soldier would remove the cartridge from the cartridge box, bite off the end to release the powder, pour a small amount into the pan and the rest down the barrel. The now empty cartridge still attached to the musket ball would then be placed into the barrel as wadding and the ramrod used to ram it down. The musket would be cocked and was then ready to fire. When the trigger was pulled the hammer containing the flint would strike the frizzen, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder in the pan and pass through the touch hole to ignite the main charge and fire the musket ball. A well drilled soldier was capable of firing 4 shots a minute
