Samuel+Colt+Letter

Dear Awards Committee, We believe that Samuel Colt was the most brilliant and also, best contributor to the industrial revolution because he was the first to invent the cylinder revolver gun. The cylinder revolver contributed to future wars, hunting and also to law enforcement. The cylinder revolver was the first semi-automatic gun and it contributed to later discoveries and innovations in guns. The revolver was a critical part in the war. Before the war the guns were single shot and slow to reload and could give the enemy time to move forward and strike. With the invention of the revolver the soldier could have six shots before reloading and that helped if you missed you could fire again and again which gave you a better chance to hit the opponent. The revolver also contributed to law enforcement because police started carrying revolvers because of the easy handle of the gun and the semi-automatic quality of the gun. Used to police carried big single shots that were hard to carry and slow to re-load, but now they have a easy to carry semi-automatic with all the punch of a big gun. Hunters also were benefited from the revolver because if they missed on there first shot they could shoot again and kill the animal they were trying to kill. Samuel Colt was a very ingenious inventor who contributed anywhere from wars and law enforcement to hunting. Samuel Colt won us wars with this new invention and helped us keep our freedom. We would like to thank the awards committee for there consideration of Samuel Colt for the greatest inventor award. Sincerely, Dustin, Keaton and Killion
