When Henry fired the rifle, he likely experienced a rush of adrenaline and focus, as the weight of the moment heightened his senses. The recoil would have jolted through his shoulder, and the sharp sound of the gunshot would resonate in the stillness around him. Depending on the context, he might have felt satisfaction, fear, or a surge of determination, reflecting on the significance of his action. In that instant, the world may have narrowed down to the target in front of him and the consequences of his shot.
He would make a fierce grunt
Henry aimed carefully before firing his rifle, making sure to keep the barrel steady. He then squeezed the trigger gently to avoid jerking the gun and missing his target.

It has happened. During the American Civil War, a Union rifleman fired his rifle, and the projectile collided with the projectile fired by a Confederate rifleman - in the barrel of the Confederate's rifle. IIRC, that rifle was displayed in the Museum of American History.
My father gave me a rifle for Christmas. I fired my rifle for the first time. My rifle misfired.
The 44 rim fire Henry rifle was developed by Benjamin Tyler Henry.
Yes
By and large, Benjamin Henry. Oliver Winchester reorganized the New haven Arms Company to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company when Henry tried to take over New Haven, feeling he had been under compensated for the design of the Henry Repeating Rifle. Winchester immediately had parts of the Henry Rifle redesigned for the Model 1866. Winchester had the magazine improved, a loading gate was added to the right side of the receiver (a Nelson King design), and wooden forearms were added, but other elements of the rifle remained the same as the Henry such as the ammunition it fired, and the double firing pin.
The Henry rifle was invented by Hackman Adams.It was invented in 1860.
