👉 The Springer Weapon, also known as the Springer Gun or the Spring Gun, is a unique firearm designed by German engineer Karl Springer in the early 20th century. It is essentially a modified rifle that can be mounted on a horse or other animal, allowing the gun to fire from a distance similar to a rifle. The weapon consists of a barrel attached to a long, spring-loaded stock that can be raised or lowered by the rider. When the trigger is pulled, the spring releases a bolt that fires the projectile, which is propelled by the gunpowder in a traditional firearm manner. The Springer Weapon's design allowed for rapid reloading and firing, making it a formidable weapon in military and hunting contexts. However, its use has been largely discontinued due to safety concerns and the advent of more modern firearms.
