I don't know about "list" but the Puckle gun was patented in 1718.

The idea that at the time of the 2A the concept of much more advanced firearms than what was in use at the time was beyond the Framers ability to foresee is intellectually flawed.

But they didn't start painting them black until the mid 1800s. THAT was something the FFs couldn't have foreseen.

Pucklegun, girandoni air rifle, cookson rifle, and the Kalthoff repeater are just a few examples. Some of these had magazines with up to twenty rounds.

Why is it that the ones wanting to restrict the 2a have the least amount of knowledge about it ? I mean if that’s where I was going to draw my line I think I’d want to know everything about firearms and the 2a that I could learn .

Understanding the 2A and it's contexts would be exceedingly problematic for a lot of people. Ignorance is much more forgiving.

The Pentagon Has Slowly Fallen In Love With H&K's Take On The AR-15

The HK416 and its derivatives are quickly becoming the combat rifle that all others are judged by—and the Pentagon is having a hard time denying that fact.

FEBRUARY 24, 2017

Operationally, its career in the US Military started out among the highest rungs of the special operations community, and was made famous by SEAL Team Six as the assault rifle that was used on the raid that killed terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden. Now, a half-decade later, the Army and the Marine Corps have selected versions of the rifle, but for wildly different uses. The Marines in particular have anted up with orders for thousands of units, and these weapons also represent an evolutionary change in tactics for the UMSC, one spurred by hard lessons learned over the past 15 years of perpetual warfare in the Middle East.

German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch is world renowned for making some of the finest, most durable firearms on the planet, and they aren’t afraid to go their own way when it comes to design. From being the first adopter of polymer for combat firearms to their super-accurate “lemon squeezer” P7 series of handguns to firearms designed to be used by combat divers underwater—as well as legendary and widely used weapons like the MP5 submachine, PSG sniper rifle, USP handgun, to the G3 battle rifle. The company's achievements go on and on. But outside the special operations community, where budgets aren’t so generous or flexible and procurement is a precarious bureaucratic maze, H&K has struggled to achieve big orders from the Pentagon. Price has a lot to do with it. The company’s firearms aren’t cheap to say the least, even when manufactured in large quantities. But this situation has slowly started to change with the advent of the HK416 assault rifle.

For a company that likes to go their own way design-wise, building yet another AR-15 derivative seems too pedestrian. But after being spurred by the Army's tier one counter-terrorism force, better known as the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta or just "Delta Force," it wound up being a wildly good business decision. Built with the special operator in mind, the HK416 adopts the usual AR-15 format but gets rid of the direct impingement style gas system that Eugene Stoner came up with well over a half century ago. Instead, a gas piston and pushrod is used to cycle the weapon when it’s fired, similar to the famously indestructible AK-47 and similar to H&K’s G36 assault rifle.

Almost just like the Ruger I have arriving today.

Absurd statement. A photo's worth a thousand words right?

Take 2A: IMO, the Framers didn't have AR15s in mind when granting the right to bear arms. Again, my opinion's based on the Constitution and how it's written. "Bearing arms" like a musket is a far cry from an AR-15 with a 100-round magazine and a bump stock. Hell, owning a nuclear bomb is my God given right per the Constitution if one fails to use common sense.

Mkay. So you're good with other people in other nations (Iran, Cuba, Syria, etc.) owning nuclear weapons, too, eh?

They aren't covered by the Constitution and are in fact criminals/terrorists....We are also against US criminals not having firearms
