Breech loading was to have a major impact on warfare, as breech-loading rifles can be fired at a rate many times higher than muzzle loaded rifles and significantly can be loaded from a prone rather than standing position.

Breech loading provided a higher rate of fire, but early breech loading guns lacked an effective way of sealing the escaping gases that leaked from the back end of the barrel ; resulting in a lower muzzle velocity.

Breech loading artillery overcame barrel length limitations of cast cannon imposed by the necessity of retracting the cannon into the hull for reloading through the muzzle.

The first breech loading weapons were the swivel guns used in naval warfare.

The SNABB was a modification that could be made to virtually any bolt action rifle allowing it to be converted into a self loading weapon, thus saving money as compared to manufacturing new weapons from scratch.

The delta wing has more internal volume to carry fuel or internal weapons than a wing of a similar thickness to chord ratio, while also allowing wing loading to be reduced for the amount of drag produced in level flight.

The development of breech loading had the greatest effect on naval warfare, for the first time since the Middle Ages altering the way weapons are mounted on warships, and therefore naval tactics, now divorced from the reliance on sails with the invention of the internal combustion.

In weapons other than large rifles, such as pistols and cannons, there were some manually operated breech loading weapons.

Following the decision taken by the British government in January 1947 to develop nuclear weapons, Sellafield was chosen as the location of the plutonium production plant, with the initial fuel loading into the Windscale Piles commencing in July 1950.

After loading his Vauxhall Astra with his weapons, Ryan attempted to leave, but the car would not start.

The field of artillery has also seen some promising research with an experimental weapons system named " Dragon Fire II " which automates the loading and ballistics calculations required for accurate predicted fire, providing a 12 second response time to artillery support requests.

As Lisa Jardine relates in her account of the assassination of William the Silent of the Netherlands, in 1584, the small size, ease of concealment and user-friendly loading aspect of the wheellock, compared to more arduous hand-held weapons, meant that it was used for curtailing the lives of public figures, such as Francis, Duke of Guise and William himself.

In field artillery, breech loading allows the crew to reload the weapon without exposing themselves to enemy fire or repositioning the piece ( as was required for muzzle-loaded weapons ) and allows turrets and emplacements to be smaller ( since breech loaded weapons do not need to be retracted for loading ).

Its permanent 4x4 drive gives it its mobility, and it can carry either a 90 mm quick firing low pressure gun, or a 60 mm breech loading mortar as main weapons.

Sarah eventually runs into the Mutos, the exiled descendants of those mutated by chemical weapons early in the war, but they are then captured by the Thals and used for the dangerous task of manually loading radioactive components into a missile they wish to launch at the Kaled dome.

Unlike in the Gatling gun and later rapid-firing automatic weapons, the entire loading and firing process was manual.

All military personnel that participate in loading, arming, or firing weapons, as well as transmitting launch orders, are subject to the Personnel Reliability Program ( PRP ).

Campbell's work on loading coils provided the theoretical basis for his subsequent work on filters which proved to be so important for frequency-division multiplexing.

The 1983 stock proved to be unreliable and troublesome in service, with single-leaf doors making passenger loading and unloading a slower process than on other stock with wider door openings.

The aircraft proved exceptionally agile thanks to its very low wing loading, although at the same time, the CR. 42 lacked armour and radio equipment.

The program proved expensive: Li Hongzhang had wanted the Kiangnan Arsenal to produce breech loading rifles of the Remington type.

This proved to have some cost, manufacturing and application problems ( while it had a very high tensile strength ; compression, off-axis loading and cyclic loading proved problematic ).
