If any of you are ever in Lexington,  VA, go to the new firearms museum at Virginia Military Institute. They have at least half a dozen antique (read that from the 18th century and maybe before) airguns. I was there at Parents Weekend in October 2010. Most impressive place. Check it out if you get the chance.

The museum had just opened and the PB guns were awe inspiring too.

Yes great piece of history there.
If any of you from stateside are ever iin the UK then i recommend you spend a day at The Royal Armouries museum in Leeds,Yorkshire.
Its free admission and has a fantastic display of arms and armour and history of all kinds of weapons.

If at the claimed psi of 800 and 40 shots, could it be that today's technology is over thought? Pushing a large caliber ball down a rifled barrel at low pressure and accurate at 100 yards may not seem feasible to us today but I see no reason for a historian to espouse BS for the sake of BS...I say it's an accurate account until proven otherwise and if it's so then I want to see a reproduction of that rifle available to the masses. Gives the big bore guys some bragging rights and pride of ownership. Maybe the Italians and Europeans were a tad more advanced than given credit for; as well, those are a lot of our roots.

What amazes me is they did this without rubber or plastics for the seals. I guess they must use leather. The tank is removable too. Maybe you can carry extra tanks.
