ZEITGEIST Nock Guns

[Andrew Moreton]

For some reason I though these were a made up thing



I was wrong

No way.

One of the characters in Sharpe has one (according to Mr Mongoose...)

 

[Andrew Moreton]

Indeed he does , I did not know its name in the TV show , however the Royal armouries pointed that out to me. Unfortunatly I don't remember one in the public collection and I would have noticed . However I will be looking over that period section next time I visit in case I missed it

Edit. There is indeed one on display in the naval warfare display, I must have looked past it a dozen times

Here I thought it was named after RangerWickett. My mistake; I can admit when I was wrong. Obviously the truth is that RangerWickett was named after the Nock gun.
