英语词汇sharps rifle的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	sharps rifle
词源	Sharps rifle. The Sharps rifle “could be fired today and kill tomorrow,” said quipsters, in reference to the story that one model could hit a target at five miles. This probably wasn’t true, but the rifle—40 different models were made by the Sharps Company between 1840 and 1880—did have remarkable range, power, and accuracy. Hunters called it the “Old Poison Slinger” and it was used extensively in slaughtering the buffalo of America.
