It really was state of the art for the time. Especially for use with Calvary for whom it was pretty much impossible to reload while moving.
If a Confederate Calvary soldier had two of these....same firepower as 3 pistols and a double barrel shotgun....and they generally carried a lot of pistols.
Saw the series when I was a kid but never understood it. Years later when torrent downloads were the rage, I downloaded Books 1,2 and 3 with subtitles and loved it!
Did you work on the shooting set as an extra?
Thanks!

This weapon makes me want to watch again old American Civil War movies like Gettysburg and old classic TV series like North and South.
Funny you should mention those....one of the first shows I ever worked on was North & South Book 2.
