YOU DIDN'T SEE IT?? YOU MISSED THIS MONSTROSITY?? HOW??

This thing was a MUZZLE LOADER! Absolutely incredible!

Here's my mate standing beside the type of shell it fired. (Poor soul, he closed his eyes 'cos the camera flash scared him). This gun is absolutely AMAZING! All the loading and laying was steam powered.



btw, I'm ex Army.
