I can't give an exact date but the 22rf was (re) patent in 1859 and guns started appearing for it in 1860. Of course while very convenient everyone wanted larger calibers so they started immediately increasing the size and firearms for the 32 rf were available by around 1863. The rf design doesn't work well for larger calibers for several reasons due to the ignition of the powder and probably more significantly in order for the case to handle the pressures it would have to be thicker and of course the rf is fired by smashing that case rim and it would take stronger hammers/springs to do so. This is why the percussion handgun became the main stay for larger handguns until the development of the centerfire cartridge.

What is short integer?

In computer programming, a variable can be (among other things) an integer or a long integer. An integer can be any whole number in the range of -32,768 to 32,767 A long integer can be any whole number in the range of -2,147,483,648 tp 2,147,483,647 I have never heard of an "integer" variable being called a "short integer" but it makes a kind of sense. Note: The size of integer types is platform-dependent, but usually: short: 16 bits int: 32 bits (16 in archaic systems: MSDOS OS Windows16) long: 32 bits (64 in unix64) long long: 64 bits


Short int and long integers have how many bytes in C programming?

It depends on the programming language, the compiler, and the machine architecture. In C, the size of short int and int is not mandated by the language. Often, on 32-bit machines, 'int' will be 32-bit, while 'short int' may be 16-bit. But the only thing the language promises is that short int will be no larger than int.


What is the storage capacity of register?

The storage capacity of a register is determined by the architecture. Thus they are 32 bits long on a 32-bit system and 64 bits long on a 64-bit system.
