Rim and Center-fire Cartridges
While the pinfire cartridge was a wonderful improvement in gunnery and a far cry in advance of anything else that shooters had ever used before, still there was lots of room for the inventor to show his ability and to reap the reward—if someone else did not reap it for him—for the new-fangled pin-fire cartridge nearly cost its weight in gold to manufacture and what was wanted was a cartridge and a breech-loading gun which were cheap enough so that every shooter could afford to have and use them.
And soon the long-haired inventor came forth from his attic workshop and he brought with him a gun—a gun that had the firing-pin in the breechblock and a cartridge with a solid back and he was crowned with laurel and honors were heaped upon him, and let us hope he also made a lot of money out of his clever invention.
Now, there are two kinds of cartridges, and these are known as (1) rim-fire cartridges and (2) center-fire cartridges.
