Well, that explains it then. You’re brilliant.

Seriesly, where did that come from? It looks one-off. Muzzle loaded?

For a while people were making sword-gun combos. IIRC, they were never very popular, and pretty much disappeared with the invention of the bayonet.

Very interesting. I'm wondering how I went 64 years without every hearing of them before. Did you see the one labeled "useless.jpg?"

I hope it hotlinks.

Hmmm, think it might shoot a trifle low?

It’s not labeled “useless” for nothing, I guess. Lotta foot danger there. Maybe that firearms instructor should get one?

Yes, all that steel may prevent kickback, or you could put your eye out. Who knows?   :-)

You know for a fact that I’m going to the coffee shop on that one, as soon as I get up off the floor.

I thought you had my back. They have low-carb danish? Cool. I hope it’s better than my recipe. Sigh...
