Q #156 Clues: Polish Inventor, Austria Patient. Pulling back front of the trigger shaped guard cocks the action, it then depresses slide releases on each side of the frame next to the true trigger. At this point you can release the "guard" and fire with the standard trigger or continue rearward pressure on the guard which depresses the trigger firing the gun. It was produced by SIG!

Q #157: Speculation is this item was used by hunters long before it was tried by the military. It was originally inserted in early military firearms. It is not the materials or design of the firearm or ammo. Updated versions are produced today buy the thousands and its name has not changed in 500 years. What is it?

Bayonets were shoved down the muzzle before they designed a way to mount it "on" the firearm.

Q#158 Who patented the first completely brass cartridge

The first integrated cartridge was developed in Paris in 1808 by the Swiss gunsmith*Jean Samuel Pauly*in association with French gunsmith*François Prélat. Pauly created the first fully self-contained cartridges:[11]*the cartridges incorporated a copper base with integrated*mercury fulminate*primer powder (the major innovation of Pauly), a round bullet and either brass or paper casing.[12][13]*The cartridge was loaded through the breech and fired with a needle. The needle-activated central-fire*breech-loading*gun would become a major feature of firearms thereafter.[14]*Pauly made an improved version, protected by a patent, on 29 September 1812.

This was copper and brass AND 34 years earlier.

I thought he used a type of paper patching to hold his bullet in the cartridge making it not completely metallic.Not the first time I've been wrong.
