wall gun

[Borisserge]

I suppose this falls into "other sporting guns", today I had the opportunity to handle a wall gun from the 16C.

Approximately 6 foot long, 1" calibre with 5 foot long original barrel and a replacement stock through the years.

To call it "hefty", is an understatement... never mind the amount of black powder it can go through in one charge

These were supposed to be able to punch a hole in A4 paper at 600 yards (obviously on open sights)

Hopefully will manage some pictures up tomorrow
