Talk:Armstrong Gun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was under the impression that "Armstrong gun" referred specifically to the innovative design of of the RBL (rifled breech loaders) that Armstrong designed and which the UK government abandoned after using them 1859 - 1870. The muzzle-loaders built by the Elswick Ordnance Company, while technically designed and built under the Armstrong umbrella, were a different type of gun altogether. ??

You have a point, though I have seen Armstrong muzzle-loaders referred to as Armstrong guns. Acad Ronin (talk) 14:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
