Depends on the laws of where you are- In most of the US, a civilian may legally carry the same firearms that are carried by the military. In other countries, there are limits on what guns may be owned by a civilian. So...... since you did not say where you are from, we can't help answer your question. Sorry-
It is a pistol that fires BBs or Pellets that are powered by Air or C02, NOT Gunpowder. Some countries consider them Firearms some do not consider them firearms.
The colonial powers had high powered firearms, which the Indian army didn't have
The earliest man-carrying powered aeroplane was the Wright Flyer.
It could mean one of two things "FireArms Certificate" in Canada or United Kingdom "FireArms Certificate" in England. It's a Certificate from Law enforcement to own a high powered air rifle
They built the first fully controllable aeroplane, capable of carrying a pilot, powered by an internal combustion engine
A trireme is a warship with a ram powered by sail and three banks of oars, carrying a crew and marines of 200.
I would say NO. But I would not be carrying one around in the dark when the SWAT team arrives. By legal definition in the USA, no it is not. The ATF does not consider air rifles firearms, but you must check with your municipality/county for clarification. For example, my municipality (medium sized midwest city) considers any kind of device capable of firing a projectile a firearm. That would include air rifles and even airsoft guns. I know for a fact that local P.D. has issued summons' for people shooting airsoft guns in the city. Third response- under US FEDERAL law, no. However, some states DO regulate them as if they were firearms. Some nations regulate higher powered air guns as firearms. It will depend on the law where YOU live.
Yes, Robert Fulton's Clermont, launched in 1807, is often credited as the first commercially successful steamboat capable of carrying heavy loads upstream. It demonstrated the viability of steam-powered navigation on rivers, significantly impacting transportation and commerce. While there were earlier steam-powered vessels, the Clermont's successful operation marked a pivotal moment in the development of steamboat technology.
Laws on firearms ownership vary greatly throughout the world, and we field questions from the world over. You would have to give some indication of which country you had in mind for an accurate answer to be given.
All in good time, powered flight has only been around for just over 100 years. Right now the cost and technology isn't in place.
Paintball guns, powered by compressed air, are not firearms, and therefore they may be possessed.
Typically, a Viking warship is narrower, longer, and shallower than a knar merchant ship, and is powered by oars and sails. The warship is completely open and built for speed and maneuverability, with rowers on each side. A knar, in contrast, is partially enclosed and powered mainly by sail. The knar is mainly for carrying cargo.
