"The Dreyse Needle gun, named the Zundnadelgewehr (Needle Ignition Rifle) in German, was a breechloading rifle which, unlike the percussion rifles of the time, used a firing pin (shaped like a needle) to pierce the paper cartridge and strike the percussion cap within it. It was designed in Prussia by Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse for the Prussian army and was a revolutionary step in the development of firearms."@en . . . "Prussia"@en . .

"The Dreyse needle-gun (German Z\u00FCndnadelgewehr, which translates roughly as \"needle ignition rifle\") was a military breechloading rifle, famous as the main infantry weapon of the Prussians, who accepted it for service in 1841 as the \"leichtes Perkussionsgewehr Model 1841\" (\"light percussion rifle Model 1841\"), with the name chosen to hide the revolutionary nature of the new weapon. The name \"Z\u00FCndnadelgewehr\"/\"needle-gun\" comes from its needle-like firing pin, which passed through the paper cartridge case to strike a percussion cap at the bullet base. The Dreyse rifle was also the first breech-loading rifle to use the bolt action to open and close the chamber, executed by turning and pulling a bolt handle. It has a rate of fire of about 10\u201312 rounds per minute. The rifle was the invention of the gunsmith Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse (1787\u20131867) who, beginning in 1824, had conducted multiple experiments and in 1836 produced the complete needle-gun. Dreyse was ennobled in 1864."@en . "142.0"^^ . "V-notch and front post"@en . "1"^^ . "Acorn shaped lead bullet in paper cartridge"@en . . "Breechloading Rifle"@en . . "36.0"^^ . .
