Samuel Colt's Gun Barrel

Origin
Samuel Colt was an industrialist who founded the Colt Firearms Manufacturing Company, revolutionizing the mass production of firearms. He adapted the revolver into an easier to use gun by adding a locking bolt to keep the barrel stable, a percussion cap to make ignition safer and interchangeable parts to allow for quick and cheap repairs. Although his innovations were initially unsuccessful, Colt gained notoriety when the Texas Rangers ordered 1000 modified revolvers for use in the Mexican-American War. Colts became even more widely used by both sides of the Civil War and then on the frontier as “the gun that won the west”. Known as a fierce protector of his patents, Colt’s assembly line tactics and advertising skill allowed him to become one of the richest Americans of his time.

Effects
Placing upon any firearm will cause the barrel to glow, heat up and encase the subject. Reforms firearms like putty into other models and even new configurations, made suitable for the user’s preferences or needs. Like the interchangeable parts Colt pioneered, the user will experience their body separate into small, distinct units that can easily break off and leave cracks.
