Notes
‘BL’ (‘breech loading’) indicates that the piece in question is loaded from the breech, with a round that consists of a separate projectile and bagged propellant.
‘QF’ stands for ‘quick firing’. In most contexts, such as that of international overviews, it describes weapons that are both provided with an on-carriage recoil absorbing mechanism and fire ammunition in which the propellant is placed in a disposable brass case prior (and, usually, well before) it goes into the breech. When used in the official designations of British artillery pieces, it means only that the ammunition makes use of disposable brass cartridge cases.
‘RML’ tells us that the weapon is a ‘rifled muzzle loader’.
The year in parenthesis refers to the date of publication of the pamphlet, and not the date of adoption of the weapon.
