Introduced species. The effects of introduced species on natural environments have gained much scrutiny from scientists, governments, farmers and others.
Terminology[edit] The terminology associated with introduced species is now in flux for various reasons. Hunting. Skillful tracking and acquisition of an elusive target has caused the word hunt to be used in the vernacular as a metaphor, as in treasure hunting, "bargain hunting", and even "hunting down corruption and waste".
History[edit] Paleolithic[edit] Hunting has a long history and may well pre-date the rise of the species Homo sapiens. While our earliest Hominid ancestors were probably frugivores or omnivores, there is evidence that earlier Homo species,[3][4] and possibly also australopithecine[5] species, utilised larger animals for subsistence. Evidence from western Kenya suggests that hunting may have occurred as long ago as two million years.[6] Many species of animals have been hunted throughout history. Small Wars Manual.

History[edit] An English gentleman circa 1750 with his flintlock muzzle-loading sporting rifle. French court gunsmith Marin le Bourgeoys made the first firearm incorporating a true flintlock mechanism for King Louis XIII shortly after his accession to the throne in 1610.[1] The development of firearm lock mechanisms had proceeded from matchlock to wheellock to snaplock to snaphance and miquelet in the previous two centuries, and each type had been an improvement, contributing some design features which were useful. Le Bourgeoys fitted these various features together to create the flintlock mechanism. The new system quickly became popular, and was known and used in various forms throughout Europe by 1630. Flintlock weapons were commonly used until the mid 19th century, when they were replaced by percussion lock systems.

Polygonal rifling /pəˈlɪɡənəl/[1] is a type of gun barrel rifling where the traditional lands and grooves are replaced by "hills and valleys" in a rounded polygonal pattern, usually a hexagon or octagon. Polygons with a larger number of edges provide a better gas seal in relatively large diameter polygonally rifled bores. In the Glock pistol, for instance, octagonal rifling is used in the large diameter .45 ACP bore, which has a 11.23 mm (0.442 in) diameter, since it resembles a circle more closely than the hexagonal rifling used in smaller diameter bores.[2] History[edit] Left image: Rifled mountain cannon of the French La Hitte system, "Canon de montagne de 4 modèle 1859 Le Pétulant".
