WWII would have lasted a month... :D
Assuming they we're each, easily, lugging around fridgepressors :D

And could muzzle-load really damn fast.

@ BTB

Thanks :D Yea, like you said, the recoil is massive. Wich is good in my opinion :roll: I do still think that a 1800gr 1.02cal LRN Slug is too soft. Like JRS said, a much lighter harder projectile like a steel bearing is needed for max penetration. But as far as stopping power, this will sure do the job! :twisted: Another thing, if (a person) woud wear that helmet and someone shot you like I did, even though it wouldn't penetrate, youre still killed by the massive shock/impact.

I was aware of that Girandoni-inspired resistance rifle.

Maybe I should give it a try one day..with a balanced hammervalve...and forced blowback loading mechanism....

My bet is the partisan rifle is less powerfull than Jacks slug-lobber.
It would have made a neat underslung for it.. :D

@BTB

Yea, I do think my airgun is more powerful, but will not be as popular as that homemade airgun.
Oh and another thing..
What text (name) should I put on the barrel support?
I am going to make the letters with letter stamps.
Dutchy
or
Made in Holland
I will paint the barrel support black and the letters red.

The firing dutchman...Is that like a guy that fires people??

This economic crisis is getting to us.


How about just this at the front:

Eat this!

Or..You feelin' lucky?
Or
" 9mm sucks"

Seriously..you should either go with the cannon's name, or just use " Made in Holland"
Now for a cool name.
