Abstract

Government efforts to suppress the spread of advances in firearms technology are not unique to the twentieth century. In this article, Yale history professor Thomas F. Arnold details the social and military impact of the invention of the wheel-lock pistol. This article was originally published in the Autumn 1995 issue of MHQ (formerly known as Military History Quarterly), and is reprinted by permission.
