NHD Project : Changed

  My group and I have decided to change our NHD topic from solar energy to the Colt Single Action Army which is sometimes nicknamed Colt 45 , possibly because it shoots a .45 cartridge. The Colt Single Action was a weapon used only by American forces , it was used in the Spanish-American War and several small wars with Native-Americans. In 1873 it was adopted as the standard military pistol. This weapon was in service from 1873 to 1892. This weapon was developed by Colt's Manufacturing Company , in America. 

or

  The M1911 Pistol , which is a semi.-automatic weapon. This gun also has the nickname of Colt 45. It has seen many wars including WWI , WWII , Korean War , and Vietnam War.  In 1911 this weapon the standard United States pistol from 1911 to 1985 , although it is still used by the United States troops unofficially to this day. This weapon was developed in the U.S. in 1911 by John M. Browning , whom is credited for 128 gun patents. 

*I'm not positive which gun we are doing yet because both guns have the nickname colt 45 , and my group members said we're doing the " colt 45 ", I will find out today and post my dession tomorrow.*

Update: For our project we chose the M1911.
