Title: Strange Guns
Post by: Sandman on January 25, 2008, 12:53:30 AM

Saw this (http://www.littlegun.be/curios%20et%20antiquites/a%20a%20images%20curios%20et%20antiquites%20gb.htm)  on Neatorama.

Some of these look bizarre. I suspect that some of them probably hurt the shooter.

Excellent pics of a ring pistol (http://www.littlegun.be/curios%20et%20antiquites/a%20bague%20pistolet%20gb.htm).

The thing here to keep in mind is that these guns had very low pressure (and recoil) black powder charges...  the pinfire for instance would have less kick than a 22 long rifle..   Lot of smoke and noise and a really ugly little piece of filthy lead in you that will kill you a week later... most likely from the infection or from the doctor trying to get it out.    or.. the leeches he puts on you.
