was not a shotgun but a "smooth bore rifle", see the iron sights. it may work well for a boy to shoot at 25 meter on a target. I will try to press a spitzer bullet from airgun pellets and shoot it with a berdan primer in the hollow base but without powder.

another system had a screw you turn out and set a primer in a paper hull into
