strange butt stock :begging:

The strange butt stock is a cast iron canister that holds the air pressure.  According to the vido they could get 40 shots with a .46cal roundball that would shoot through a 1" board at 100 yards.  Was a repeater as well.  Wild stuff.
If you must smoke, please use BLACKPOWDER!

General Custer, could have used a battery of them  for sure.
