Nice!! I want to remind folks though, the pesky British were intent on seizing the privately owned cannon from the Colonists. Thats right, prior to the rise of the "progressive" Communist Democratic party, private citizens could and did own cannon that were every bit the match of those fielded by the most powerful army on the planet. And now we are fighting over AR15s. We need to get our artillary back.
As I recall the gun had sufficient air reserve to fire multiple times. And unlike muskets, another round could be quickly chambered and fired. Because of these qualities the gun was put to good use intimidating Indians who did not want to face the white men with such, essentially, repeating rifles. Of course the Indians thought all the white men had these rifles. There was, however, just the one.

You are playing fast and loose with the facts because this is not a firearm. It is an air gun.
I got to see one of those. Pretty cool.
Nice, wish I could have one ! I don't think the fact that it's an air gun would stop them from confiscating that assault weapon.
