Unless the prof/ta wears realtree to class. Don't do firearms! You will loose half a grade letter before the thing is graded. May I suggest the Boer war or the last Spanish civial war.

That is what I said from the beginning I know the history of firearms is to broad that is why I was asking help for specific topics within the history of firearms......

How about the value of guns. They have proven throughout history to be one of the few items that always hold their value and are always in demand. A guy done a presentation of this in one of my investment classes in college. Pretty interesting stuff.

Here is a topic foung in several places on the web I like it. Deals with why some rifles recoil is felt more than than in others. Found this on Indians for Guns.
Right or left hand rifling
1. Newtons laws of physics hold within the firearms community. Thus, if a
bullet is caused to spin either by a lefthand or righthand twist rifled barrel, it does so because there is an exact same force (less frictional losses) exerted on the rest of the rifle. Hence, as the bullet accelrates to (say) the right along a rifled barrel, the rifle itself is is accelerated to the left. The rifle wights more than the bullet, so the degree of acceleration is proportional to the bullet/rifle weight ratio as a function of the exit velocity of the projectile from the rifle muzzle. 2. From the 1850's onwards the British tended to have an empire where rifled sporting firearms came into widespread use in India and Africa, and said empire was populated by large/dangerous animals, in turn requiring large bore / high energy projectiles to safely dispatch. Shooting large bore projectiles has the downside that said projectiles tend to pound the user. The larger the rifle bore, the larger the energy (in general terms) and hence the larger the energy able to be transmitted either left or right by the stock .... into the users cheek. 3. Here is the crux of the topic. By choosing to rifle the bore either with right hand twist or left hand twist rifling, the designer can choose to have the rifle stock twist into the shooters face or twist away from their face. By convention, the British chose to have the rifling of their large bore rifles cause the stock (remember Mr Newtons laws here) to move away from the shooters face, rather than twist into their cheekbones. The recoil energy transmitted to the users shoulder remains the same in both cases. Interestingly, many American makers at the turn of the century made barrels with a twist opposite to the "standard" British pattern, thereby causing their customers to directly experiece a triumph of fashion over physics. 4. For an interesting demonstration of the abovee, obtain two identical rilfes, preferably with high combs for scope mounts ... one with left hand rifling, one with left hand rifling. Obtain a very solid cheek weld and fire the same ammunition in both rifles. One rifle will twist into your cheek, one will twist away from your cheek. You will immediately be able to tell which rifling is which, as one of the rifles will smash into your cheek while the other will not disturb you at all. The author had the opportunity to observe this at first hand some 25 years ago, a lesson not easily forgotton in heavy recoilng rifles. |

you should do that one about the marine in college who was listening to the prof. talk about how god didnt exsist and that he would give god 15min to send him a sign that he did and the marine walks up there and knocks him out. when he comes to the marine says something to the effect that "you can thank god for marines who allow assholes like you to stand up here and say whatever you want by giving there lives."

Monster, you are in California. If you want to write a paper about firearms, you best bet of getting a good grade is to write about the evil of private gun ownerships and how all gun owners should be shot with their own guns. Anything more gun-friendly than that and you will be lucky to get a C.

Yea I know I probably won't get a good grade if I do firearms but I don't care about getting a C because I am on the credit/no credit grading scale. This class will not effect my GPA.

What about a related area like when rifle scopes were first used in warfare and how that has affected modern warfare. While the topic is broad there should be a wealth of information about that and shouldnt be too hard to come by photos of old scopes and new ones if you need visual aids. It would allow you to throw in some details about things like ACOG's and Aimpoints and Tactical scopes, thermal, nightvision, laser that you have access to info on that others would not. I also agree that unless you really know where your teacher is coming from that any gun related topic will give you unwanted attention that you wont enjoy.

Stay in the time period between matchlocks and the 1873 colt Peace Maker and you are just dealig with history's inventions and that shouldn't be too contraversial for the college types. Especially if you can tie them in with other developments such as standardization and mass production.
