👉 The Burlington Weapon, also known as the "Burlington Model," refers to a set of principles and designs for handguns developed by John Burlington, an English firearms designer active in the late 18th century. This model emphasizes simplicity, reliability, and ease of manufacture, aiming to create a practical and accessible firearm for the general public. The Burlington Weapon typically features a smoothbore barrel, a single-shot action mechanism, and a flat-barreled design, making it straightforward to produce and use. Its design was revolutionary for its time, influencing later firearms development and contributing significantly to the democratization of gun ownership in England.
