What is percussion revolver?
A percussion revolver is a handgun in which percussion caps, fitted to "cones" or "nipples" at the rear of each chamber of the rotating cylinder, provide the spark which ignites the gunpowder. The percussion caps are made from very thin copper and contain fulminate of mercury, which explodes when inpacted. These caps are press fitted to cones that are hollow in the center. When the revolver's hammer strikes the cap, it the priming comound is crushed or impacted, and the flash from this travels down the hole in the center of the cone to ignite the gunpowder in the cylinder. Examples of percussion revolvers include the 1851 Colt in .36 caliber and the later 1860 Army Colt. Arms of this type were used by calvary during the U.S. Civil War. After the war, they played a significant role in the westward expansion of the U.S. and continued to be used long after the advent of more modern handguns firing fixed ammunition, by lawmen and lawbreakers alike. The .36 caliber 1851 Colt is roughly equal in "stopping power" to the .380 ACP pistol cartridge. The .44 caliber 1860 is roughly equal in stopping power to .38 Special +P pistol ammunition. While the technology may be "old school," percussion revolvers are still used by recreational shooters today. Original revolvers are still found in shootable condition, but most people who shoot percussion revolvers today use replicas of civil war era revolvers which are made in Italy by Uberti and Pietta. In spite of the rudimentary sights that most replica percussion revolvers use, arms of this type can deliver a level of accuracy that many modern "combat handguns" can't match. A practiced handgun shooter will often have little trouble grouping a string of shots inside a two inch circle at 25 yards with a percussion revolver. They are used for target shooting and hunting. To load, one first decants the proper powder charge for the revolver in question from a purpose-made powder flask. One charges all chambes. After the chambers are charged, greased felt wads are seated on top of the powder. The wad swabs out the bore between shots and deposits grease which helps keep the fouling from firing soft so that it can be more easily cleaned out when the time comes. Balls are seated on top of the wad. Thess are pure lead, or nearly so. The loading lever under the barrel is used to ram wad and ball firmy on top of the powder charge. Once all cylinders have powder, wad, and ball, the next step it to cap the piece. It is now ready to fire.
