👉 The Jonathan weapon, also known as the Jonathan rifle or the Jonathan bolt-action rifle, is a unique and historically significant firearm developed by John H. "Jonathan" Jones in the late 19th century. Unlike conventional firearms of its time, the Jonathan weapon utilized a novel bolt-action mechanism that allowed for rapid reloading and firing without disassembling the rifle. This was achieved through a system of rotating internal pins that locked the bolt in place, enabling quick and efficient operation. The weapon featured a distinctive design with a long barrel and a distinctive "J" shape on the stock, making it easily recognizable. Though primarily used by law enforcement and military forces in limited capacities, the Jonathan weapon's innovative design and practicality have made it a subject of interest for collectors and historians.
