When was the trigger invented

Some of these weapons possess special features, such as shotguns's ability to fire multiple slugs at the same time and to adjust their spread, [] and possibly grenade launchers granting their discharge a parabolic trajectory. It is currently unknown to what extent the appearance and type of a firearm is a direct reflection of its parameters, as well as how much freedom the user has in modifying their parameters. Similarly, the exact mechanics of reloading have yet to be revealed.

Firearms can be made to appear immediately before use [] and then dispelled, [] although trion is expended to conjure a new one. Shooters can create them on the fly by merging two trion cubes. The process requires a certain amount of time and focus, [] so few Shooters actually use them, [] but the more skilled ones can pull it off even in the heat of combat.

Triggers for Snipers have the longest range and very high power. Unlike Gunner Triggers, Sniper Triggers are the weapons themselves, not just the bullets. They are considered one of the most indispensable Triggers for agents regardless of their class. Their effects are extremely varied, encompassing stealth, movement, support and obstruction. Certain Optional Triggers can be used only in conjunction with a specific class or a single type of Triggers, granting them additional properties.

Although the general rule is that no more than two Triggers — one in the Main and one in the Sub — can be in use at any given time, Exclusive Optional Triggers can be activated only when a specific Trigger from their same column is active. All-Purpose Optional Triggers are similar to Exclusive Optional Triggers in that they cannot be used on their own, manifesting their effects only through another Trigger.

However, unlike Exclusive Optional Triggers, they must be equipped in the opposite set of slots as the Triggers the user wants to combine them with, preventing any other Trigger from the same column from being activated while they are in use. Calvaria is known to have few Trigger users, at least compared to Spinthir.

Spinthir's Trigger users are easily distinguishable due to their black armor. Extremely little is known about Triggers from Menoeides , except that their Trigger Holders are shaped like hexagonal prisms or parallepipeds, with dots and lines arranged in different motifs on at least one of the broader faces.

Aftokrator is a powerful military nation, [] and its Trigger technology is extremely advanced. Aftokrator engineers have developed Trion Receptors that become a part of the body of the person they are embedded in, increasing their amount of trion to create soldiers with enhanced abilities.

Seven years prior to the invasion of Earth, Aftokrator was in possession of 13 Black Triggers. In Aftokrator, each Trigger Holder seems to contain only one Trigger, aside from the equipment that comes with the trion body.

The guiding concept at the heart of Aftokrator Triggers is the treatment of such weapons as an extension of one's body, which is transformed as a result. Trion bodies formed by Aftokrator Triggers come with different equipment from their counterparts on Earth. They are more suited for battle, but can be said to be lacking in terms of logistics, since at the time of the invasion, Aftokrator's fighters could leave the battlefield only through the wormholes created by Speiraskia and did not seem to possess Radar.

Since soldiers from Galopoula, one of Aftokrator's vassal nations, were recently [] endowed with an emergency escape Trigger identical in principle to Bail Out, [] it is possible Aftokrator has developed the same technology. Reinforcement Triggers. Although only one of them can be wielded by each fighter, they more than make up for it with their versatility and power output.

The two revealed thus far have high offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as remarkable supplementary abilities. Their raw power is so overwhelming that normal Triggers from Galopoula [] and Border [] cannot compare. Despite Galopoula being a small nation, its Trigger users are extolled as exceptional warriors. Much like Border Triggers, Galopoula Triggers have a wide array of effects, and a single user can equip several of them.

A major difference is the employment of pellets or tokens that are used up to activate certain Triggers, after which they disappear. Galopoula Triggers generally require one such token, [] but some may expend more [] or none at all. Each soldier can carry up to 14, [] [] stored in a holster on his or her lower back where they can be reached easily. However, if a larger supply is available, nothing prevents its usage.

The latter can be turned on and off at will, [] but that does not appear to be the case with the former. Although there does not seem to be an upper limit to the number of Triggers requiring a token that can be used simultaneously, [] or, rather, that number corresponds to the quantity of tokens available, it is possible that Triggers of the other type follow a distinction vaguely similar to the Main-Sub binary of Border Triggers.

The exact operating principle of tokens is also unknown. The basic equipment of trion bodies created by Galopoula Triggers is not much different from Border's. These Triggers may be the most powerful in the arsenal of a Galopoula soldier, since each of the members of the infiltration in Border had one. At least some of them require the expenditure of one or more tokens. The names of these Triggers were not revealed. It is unknown how many, if any, of the Triggers falling in the latter category are common to all Galopoula soldiers or should be classified as standard equipment.

The Ergates Triggers revealed thus far revolve around the generation and control of Trion Warriors. The nation is in possession of at least one Black Trigger. World Trigger Wiki Explore.

During the Revolutionary War , some American militia fighters engaged in guerilla-style tactics using their hunting rifles to take out British soldiers from distant cover.

But most militia and continental soldiers used a combination of British Brown Bess and French Charleville muskets. These smoothbore weapons offered less precision in aim, but were faster to reload.

As demand increased to arm the American Revolution , local gunsmiths began to manufacture their own versions of the European-made muskets. A well-trained soldier could generally fire and reload a flintlock weapon three times a minute, whereas the American long rifle required a more tightly loaded bullet and generally took a minute to load and fire a single shot. At first the armory stored ammunition and gun carriages, but by the s the armory began to manufacture muskets and eventually other guns.

Around the same time, the U. Some of the oldest U. Remington Arms Company has persisted to current times although the company filed for bankruptcy in February due to sluggish sales. Also getting his start during this period was Henry Deringer. Deringer produced flintlock rifles for the U.

Today the name Deringer is commonly associated with small, concealable handguns. And Eli Whitney , originally famous for inventing the cotton gin in the s, later developed a system to produce interchangeable rifle parts. In , Samuel Colt received a U. The Colt. With some initial help from Eli Whitney, Colt developed molds at his armory in Hartford, Connecticut , that could forge metal pieces comprising the revolver. The innovation enabled Colt to mass produce the weapon and market it not only to the military, but also to cowboys in the Southwest, Gold Rush miners in the Rockies and law enforcement officials nationwide.

Among the most famous manufacturers of the revolver design was Smith and Wesson, whose versions proved faster to discharge and reload. Just before the start of the 20th century, Colt, followed by Smith and Wesson, would develop revolver cylinders that would swing out to the side for unloading and reloading bullets. Rifles and muskets also went through rapid improvements up to and through the Civil War, aided in part by the Industrial Revolution. To avoid this problem, gunsmiths developed new types of ignition systems that protected gun powder from the elements.

The percussion system, developed in , used a small copper cap filled with charge. Rear-loading or breechloading systems developed by gun manufacturers, including Sharps, Maynard and Burnside, packed the projectile and powder together in a single, combustible cartridge.

The system not only saved time, it also avoided exposing gun powder to wet conditions. Next, gun manufacturers set their focus on speeding up the time required to reload a weapon. Another concept mounted multiple barrels onto a single stock to gain more bang for every trigger pull. Gun safety is a fascinating subject and as technology marches on, methods for ensuring that firearms can be used safely will surely adapt along with it.

Make sure that you keep abreast of the latest developments in gun safety to keep you and your family safe as you enjoy your guns. Cart 0. Use of Trigger Guards This is one of the earliest gun safety benefits that saw wide use in the 19th and 20th centuries. Introduction of Grip Safeties Grip safeties were first developed in the s and were primarily added in order to make certain guns childproof. Moving towards Safety Switches The default safety measure found in virtually every firearm today is the safety switch.

Over time these early triggers evolved with more complex lock work with sears acting on a separate serpentine. With the increasing complexity the lever trigger was eventually replaced by the pull-style triggers we are familiar with today. These are actuated by a single finger rather than several.
