They had big bore airguns back when Napoleon wuz givin' europe a hard time. Truthful Jack used ta call him "Leon". He would leave when Jack brung out the single malt. White wine sippin' little fellas bound ta meet a Waterloo sooner 'er later.
Folks took a dim view of the big bores way back then, cuz they wuz smokeless. Til the big bore airguns, if ya took a shot at anuther fella, they would see yer smoke. No smoke with a airgun.
I never read who brung the big bore on the Clark 'n Lewis trip ta the Pacific, but I know Jack tole 'em how they used 'em over ta France.....where the women dont wear no pants. Sorry......I wuz doin' purty dang good with the history.....stayin' close ta the topic 'n then that come out. Any French women readin' this, I know ya'll dont go round without no drawers. When I wuz a little pardner my Dad taught me that one. He played in a road house band up in Bufford Pusser country 'n they give "raunchy" a bad name.
Ron, I dont know what Tom knows bout big bore airguns, but it dont take much ta know more'n me. I dont think they are quiet, so yer backyard aint likely a good shootin' spot. I dont know how ya fill the chamber ta fling a big pellet downrange....scuba tank?
