What reading level is The Gun And Its Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A product peculiarly American is the pocket rifle, made by the Stevens Arms and Tools Company, which, though seemingly a toy and it would, no doubt, be called such in this country has an extraordinary accuracy for its short barrel. As shown in the illustration (page 675), the stock or rest is detachable, so that both parts can readily be placed in the pocket, the length being only 18 or 24 inches for calibre from '22 to -44, and the weight from 5 to 5f lbs. A still smaller model is made for '22..., '25, and "32 calibres, weighing from 2 to 2| lbs. , the barrel being 10 to 18 inches long. A. C. Gould gives some extraordinary results. With the 22-in. '250 bore, using regular charge of powder and the 86-grain bullet, ten shots were placed in or on a 7-in. Circle at 200 yards ; and with the smaller model, i8-in. Barrel, '22 cal. , ten consecutive shots were placed in the regulation bull's-eye of 8 inches at 200 yards. These results were, of course, obtained from a rest.
