ED ... i THINK IT WILL BE OK AS THAT ITEM LOOKS SOLD ...fUNNILY ENOUGH ON THE SUBJECT OF CAMEL GUNS WHAT i THOUGHT i HAD IN MY STORE AS A DHOW GUN TURNS OUT TO BE A CAMEL GUN...

Khanjar 1... I think the smaller bore punt gun style could be fired whilst the camel was standing but I cannot see how it would be accurate however having owned camels myself once the beast is sitting down the platform would be quite solid... They can go from standing to sitting in a few seconds then tethering in say 15 seconds thus quite quick.

Ian ... The 303 Lee Enfield was a great weapon but it must have been awful as young cadets to have to carry a weapon that large and heavy...

Bob A ... Ideal animal for hauling heavy hitting stuff across the desert...Please see http://www.telstudies.org/writings/w...rth_army.shtml
