I agree with you Rick.
Have you seen the second hole light in the main pan?
I wonder if it was effective. I saw double pans on Moroccan guns but no hole in the main pan. It must have been done later.

Best,

Hello everyone

The difference between these last two videos is that the first pan opens automatically after the first shot. The internal mechanism of the lock is shown. It belongs to a thread that has been uploaded in this same forum. Not so Corrado's gun. in which the second bread must be discovered by hand. We do not know its the Ottoman gun has that mechanism, because there is no image of the inside of the lock

Sorry for the translator.

Affectionately. Fernando K
