    Lots of jokes about the ineffectiveness of these guns but I did try an experiment with a .45 Minie bullet, filling the base with 3f using that as the only propellant. It blew through a gallon milk jug and stopped in the second at ten yards. I don’t believe that the carbine versions were as weak as reported.

    I would imagine that rocket ball ammo is actually SLOWED by the length of the barrel because the small powder charge has long been burned by the half way mark and the rest of the barrel is doing little more than just causing drag.

    I bet this thing was a hoot for bagging squirrels and small critters. You could quickly line up on something with the irons and then get behind the scope to take the shot so you're not trying to search for targets through the narrow field of view of that scope.
