I read their complete journal. Lewis killed a deer with it. The Indians had flintlock rifles and understood how they worked tho some had never seen a White Man.
They were fascinated by the air gun tho.

An interesting side note about air rifles...
This only works for the pump up type. If you add diesel fuel, or better yet nitro and alcohol(model airplane fuel) inside the rear skirt of the pellet, add this on a bit of cotton stuffed inside the skirt...
When you fire the gun the fuel explodes due to the diesel compression. Much more power...

Also, Lewis NEVER discharged all of the rounds in the Indian demonstrations.
The Indians were left to think that the Giardonni had endless capacity.

800 psi - wow!! Amazing they could make seals in those days that would keep the pressure up for 40 rounds.
Thanks for posting!

I got to hear Stephen Ambrose speak about Lewis & Clark at the local College before he passed away. Riveting.

Maybe we should find a way to make more of these but with modern tech, could be useful if they decide to ban bullets and gun powder.

18th Century .46 cal. 20 shot repeating air rifle by Girandoni If you had one of those, in "mint" condition, you could take it to "Pawn Stars" and Rick would probably offer you as much as $100 for it!
