description: "Louis-Nicolas Flobert (1819–1894) was a French inventor. He invented the first metallic rimfire cartridge in 1845. It was a major innovation in firearms ammunition technology, as it was previously delivered as separate bullets and gunpowder, pertaining to muzzle-loading firearms. The rimfire cartridge combined both elements in a single metallic cartridge containing a percussion cap, gunpowder, and a bullet, into a single weatherproofed package or container. Before that, a \"cartridge\" was simply a pre-measured quantity of gunpowder together with a ball (bullet), in a small cloth bag, which also acted as wadding for the powder charge and ball."
