7-barrel deck-sweeper

[Kirbydoc]

Did any of you guys see the 7-barrel gun on Pawn Stars? Beautiful lady saw it and the guy who had it GAVE her an antique, 7-barreled deck sweeper worth oh no more than $30,000!!!

When I first saw the title I read it with an "i" instead of an "e". (Why do you need seven barrels to sweep your.....?) Spit tea all over the monitor. :mrgreen: Losing your eyesight can obviously be as fun as losing your hearing.

I don't watch tv, but that sounds downright dangerous. Caplock, like a three-barrel boarding pistol? Do they all go off at once, or only by accident?

Flint-lock I believe and yes, ALL AT ONCE baby! Set up as a rifle not pistol. Probably just as well the idea of all that recoil in a pistol is ScArY!

I suspect that gun would produce enough recoil to give a man a permanent case of two left arms. It might hurt just to watch someone else shoot it.....

Two people shot it on Pawn Stars... didn't seem excessive. I believe it is strictly a short-range weapon.

They must have loaded it way down. Even a very light charge of like 30gr in each barrel still adds up. Buckshot instead of single projectiles might help too. I still wouldn't want to shoot it.
