The series concludes with an over all examination of shooting with all types of cartidge.

These points are simple and easy to follow and will guide you to tight groups with any rifle in any calib...

This pair of pioneering flintlock muskets are like none we've shown on this series before. They represent an 18th century attempt to create a genuine repeater weapon.

In 1779, James Wilson approached the Board of Ordnance with a formidable weapon - a 7-barrelled volley gun. Wilson's design would be manufactured by London gunmaker Henry Nock, whose name the gun subsequently took. The Nock Volley Gun saw service with the Royal Navy for around 20 years, although ...

An examination of the methods used to carry and manipulate the firelock in the Napoleonic age.

Designed as long range shotguns, the Nock volley gun, popularised from UK tv's Sharpe series was adopted by the Royal Navy for its sharpshooters in the fighting tops.

Our new series returns with a familiar face, Jonathan Ferguson. He's brought along an object that's always fascinated him, the Georgian version of the RPG-7. But just who made this weapon and what was it's purpose?

One of the most remarkable combination weapons in the Royal Armouries collection, this 19th century musket-come-grenade launcher can be fired in both directions.
