The decision to adopt a breech-loading rifle for the British armed forces was undoubtedly hastened by developments on the Continent where the Prussians had been the first to appreciate its advantages over the muzzle-loader. Like all innovations in the early history of British military arms there was opposition from high authority to such a radical change. The breech-loading principle was denounced as - to quote a freely expressed criticism - 'Improper in the firearms of infantry. The soldier, being enabled to fire more rapidly, would squander away his ammunition and find himself bereft of it when most needed.' Twenty years later, similar arguments were raised against the adoption of a magazine-loading arm. Fortunately, wiser counsels eventually prevailed.

The Model 1896 was first patented on 11 December 1895. One Mauser photograph shows an early pistol with the date 15 March 1895; this date is probably that of the trial rather than the design. Apart from the use of a spur hammer and the chambering of the pistol for the Borchardt cartridge there is very little difference between this pistol and any of the later pistols.

The International Nuclear Order and its linchpin, the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), both offer de facto recognition of India and Pakistan as nuclear weapon states. The new International Nuclear Order was sponsored by the United States after the September 11 terrorist attacks; this book provides a critical analysis of the new order and the place of India and Pakistan within it. The volume highlights the prospects for an alternative International Nuclear Order based on NPT revival and reinforcement and the continuing marginalization of nuclear weapons from international politics. The author considers the possibility of establishing a robust nuclear arms control regime in South Asia as part of a broader effort to revive global nuclear arms control and disarmament negotiations.

A small arms factory was established at Enfield Lock in Middlesex near the Essex border on the canalised part of the River Lea at the beginning of the 19th century, but about 20 years elapsed before it was considered sufficiently well equipped and staffed to deal with a sizeable order for complete military arms.
