^ U braggadocios' dolt ! Real men shoot the .577 1858 2-band Enfield as carried in the Civil War PS: I was 'Bisley" for an hour getting this unburied from my mancave gun locker-closet and rounding up the original 1800's Snyder bayonet that it mounted! Authentically rifled & ladder sighted, I competed with this cannon and used to march with it in 4th of July parades with my regiment (photo to credit to my "belle of the Blue-Gay ball wife) Rule 1 of mid-19th-century combat: DO NOT get hit with a .577 Minie ball...< as at the bloodbath Picketts Charge, Gettysburg on this date: 7/3/1863...U will die. ATTN moderator: perhaps these two posts would better suit in the gun thread!
