Assault Weapon, 1700-1850.

The blunderbuss could throw out a pound of lead balls or rusty nails. Dangerous alley sweepers did not come into being with the invention of self-loading weapons.

Especially when you consider the abysmal state of medical treatment of wounds, it's hard to imagine that lots of dangerous weapons weren't prevalent before the Civil War.

And they say no good deed goes unpunished. Happy to be posting since 1998 (with apologies to Lazamataz).
