M1885 Remington-Lee

The first gun with a detachable box magazine should be the M1885 Remington-Lee, even though the Lee-Metford is the popular one. LongnamXL35 (talk) 10:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== [[Puckle gun]] ==
+== M1885 Remington-Lee ==
-Comments invited on the [[Puckle gun]], an early eighteenth century repeater, and whether the rotating device it used to hold used pre-loaded rounds was a "[[Magazine (firearms)|magazine]]" or not. See [[Talk:Puckle gun#Contradiction:  Was it practical, or not?]] as well. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 07:44, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
-:Yes, please come and point out that a revolver cylinder is not a magazine, as the above user appears to have trouble with this idea. [[User:Herr Gruber|Herr Gruber]] ([[User talk:Herr Gruber|talk]]) 11:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
-== Rotary magazine inventor ==
-Apparently, there were rotary magazine fed rifles before Arthur Savage's design, but I can't seem to find the true inventor. The earliest example of a rotary magazine that I've been able to find comes from a man called Otto Schoenauer. However, a number of sources say he wasn't the originator of the invention, so, who was?  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:SQMeaner|SQMeaner]] ([[User talk:SQMeaner|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/SQMeaner|contribs]]) 09:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-== 1879 Remington-Lee, first weapon with a box magazine ==
-The article acknowledges that [[James Paris Lee]] invented the box magazine in 1879 — a detachable magazine, no less. It however fails to recognize that he was the first to implement the patent in the [[Model 1879 Remington-Lee]] rifle. Thus the first weapon with a detachable box magazine was this rifle, and the U.S. Navy was the first to adopt a weapon with a box magazine with this rifle.
-Unfortunately, I currently don't have any better sources than this:

-== Is the pan magazine technically a magazine? ==
-According to the SAAMI website, a magazine is defined as follows:
-'A recepticle for a firearm that holds a plurality of cartridges or shells under spring pressure preparatory for feeding into the chamber. Magazines take many forms, such as box, drum, rotary, tubular, etc. and may be fixed or removable.'
-From: http://www.saami.org/glossary/display.cfm?letter=M
-Furthermore, the NRA website defines the term 'magazine' as follows:
-'A spring-loaded container for cartridges that may be an integral part of the gun`s mechanism or may be detachable. Detachable magazines for the same gun may be offered by the gun`s manufacturer or other manufacturers with various capacities. A gun with a five-shot detachable magazine, for instance, may be fitted with a magazine holding 10, 20, or 50 or more rounds. Box magazines are most commonly located under the receiver with the cartridges stacked vertically. Tube or tubular magazines run through the stock or under the barrel with the cartridges lying horizontally. Drum magazines hold their cartridges in a circular mode. A magazine can also mean a secure storage place for ammunition or explosives.'
-From: https://www.nraila.org/about/glossary/
-Under these definitions, a pan magazine, or at least the Broadwell drum which some members on here believe to be the first pan magazine, isn't truly a magazine, seeing as it lacks a spring.
-EDIT: Furthermore it would seem most of the pre-volitional repeater repeating arms don't technically use magazines either, as well as most of the 19th-century machine gun feeding systems.
-EDIT 2: Perhaps what's needed is a new page detailing the various feed systems for guns, which should be considered separate to magazines and clips? [[User:SQMeaner|SQMeaner]] ([[User talk:SQMeaner|talk]])
