Interesting account of a rifle I had not previously heard about.

That final phrase on the video, "Peace through superior fire power," should be drilled into some politicians' heads, IMO.

Thanks for sharing, and it also gave me an idea for a possible field trip for the Surratt conference in 2016. I believe the National Firearms Museum is right outside D.C.

Interesting video Roger. I read the abridged version of the Lewis & Clark journals about 10 years ago and don't recall reading about the air rifle. You learn something new everyday!
