Kinda like those five barrel flintlocks. I remember some study on those pepperbox revolvers, and didn't realize they sometimes accidentally discharged all or most of the barrels at once...……..BOOM! Not good for the shooter.

I once visited a museum in Wyoming that featured lots of guns dug up in old battle sites etc. There were some revolvers of the Colt navy type (hard to tell as they were in bad shape) but had exploded when firing literally in the face of the guy shooting, it was noted he did not survive. Fun thread!!! Good to have some humor here and not always so serious ! |
