To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first essential for an effective projectile is that the material of which it is made is hard enough to clear a passage for itself, and tough enough not to break up during concussion ; and, secondly, that its form should be calculated to maintain as long as possible a high initial velocity, together with the utmost penetrative power ; whilst the first necessity for a gun which is truly subordinate to the projectile that it throws, is a length of range, more or less identified with precision ...of fire ; because the gun, by sending its shot farthest, implies the greatest steadiness of the axis, and the least amount of irregular disturbing causes, permitting it at the same time a flatter or lower trajectory, obtained by the smaller angles of elevation. Now Mr. Whitworth, in i860, with his 12 pounder rifled gun, throwing an elongated, flat fronted projectile, attained the extraordinary range of nearly six miles, and it was with this projectile that he pierced inclined armour, angled 45 °.
