"I wonder how well a Howdah pistol was regulated? Were they regualted at all? Shooting at a tiger on the back or head of an elephant would not require fine regulation a tall. Regulation is expensive so if not needed to be finely regulated, costs could be kept lower."

I cant remember if it was Cal or not, but somebody had one and decided to do an accuracy test on it and concluded that it was ok......within 10 feet or some such. About what they were made for. I know I'd love to have one.
