Henry Nock (1741–1804) was a British inventor and engineer of the Napoleonic period, best known as a gunsmith. Nock produced many innovative weapons including the screwless lock and the seven-barrelled volley gun, although he did not invent the latter despite it commonly being known as the Nock gun. He was a major supplier to the military during the Napoleonic wars. His high quality duelling pistols and double-barrelled shotguns were much sought after and it is largely through Nock that the latter became the weapon of choice for hunters.

  • Henry Nock (* 1741 in Tipton; † 1804 in London) war ein britischer Büchsenmacher. Von 1771 bis 1804 war Nock Waffenlieferant des Board of Ordnance, der Behörde für Waffen und Ausrüstung der britischen Streitkräfte, von 1777 bis 1803 belieferte er auch die East India Company. Er fertigte Waffenteile und komplette Handfeuerwaffen, von kleinen Pistolen bis zu schweren Wallbüchsen. Dabei gilt Nock als Wegbereiter der industriellen Massenproduktion. Auch setzten seine Werkstätten viele Waffen instand. Außer Militärwaffen fertigte er Zivilwaffen wie Jagdbüchsen oder Duellpistolen. Nocks Unternehmen wurde von seinen Nachfolgern weitergeführt und entwickelte sich zu Wilkinson Sword. (de)
  • Henry Nock (20 de setembro de 1741 — 1804 (63 anos)), foi um inventor e engenheiro britânico da era napoleônica, mais conhecido como armeiro. Nock produziu muitas armas inovadoras, incluindo um mecanismo de ação que dispensa o uso de parafusos e a pistola de sete canos, comumente conhecida como a "arma Nock". Foi um grande fornecedor para os militares durante as Guerras Napoleônicas, e suas pistolas de duelo de alta qualidade e espingardas de cano duplo eram muito procuradas. Nock também fazia peças caras para a aristocracia e a realeza e era um fabricante de armas indicado pelo rei. O negócio de Nock acabou se tornando a Wilkinson Sword, uma empresa que hoje fabrica lâminas de barbear e outros equipamentos e, até 2005, fabricava espadas de cerimonial para o exército britânico.
