===Other actions===
*'''The [[Ferguson rifle]]''': British Major Patrick Ferguson designed his rifle, considered to be the first military [[breechloader]] in the 1770s. A plug-shaped breechblock was screw-threaded so that rotating the handle underneath would lower and raise it for loading with ball and loose powder; the flintlock action still required conventional priming.
*'''The [[M1819 Hall rifle|Hall rifle]]''': First U.S. cavalry breechloader, originally made in flint but later made-in and converted to percussion in 1830s–1840s. The breech section tilts up to accept a paper cartridge. Excellent machine-made construction, but still tended to leak gas at the breech.
*'''The [[Kammerlader]]''': A crank-operated Norwegian firearm produced around the time of the Prussian Needle-gun. Originally used a paper cartridge. Later, many were converted to rimfire; this was the first Norwegian breechloader.
*'''The [[Tarpley carbine]]''': This is categorized into falling block action, but the breech block is hinged, unlike the others.
*'''The [[Morse Carbine]]''': This mostly brass action is somewhat like the [[Hall rifle]], except it was designed to take a special centerfire cartridge. Very few of these were actually made; all were constructed in the late 1850s.
*'''The [[Joslyn rifle]]''':
*'''[[Rising Breech Carbine]]''':
