  1. muzzle-loading

    Muzzle-loading refers to a method of loading a projectile into the muzzle (the open end) of a firearm or artillery piece, as opposed to breech-loading where the projectile is loaded into the rear. This was the standard method of loading firearms and artillery before the mid-19th century. The loaded projectile is then propelled out of the weapon by the ignition of gunpowder or another explosive substance.
