Incredible piece, indeed! Amazing that breech loaders were around from such an early start...

If those Brits running the Am Rev War hadn't been so stubborn to give up their muzzle loaders for breech, there might have been a very different outcome to the War for Independence! The soldiers wanted them, but the higher brass stuck with the tried and true Brown Bess.
