Wow. Pretty cool video. I had no idea they did all those type mods to their guns. They adapted fast! I'm nearly half Choctaw Warrior Nation. I like seeing how my ancestors lived. Good stuff!

Bad ass. Hard to argue with that kind of logic at 30 mph bouncing around on a horse... "we're just gonna drill this out and dump this in, eliminate half a dozen steps in the process... and spit these in there and by golly you better watch the F out..."
I wonder how much of that lead shot got swallowed! Nowadays Copperhead BB's would be better. Cheaper, available anywhere, non toxic and higher penetration. Could even use small rounded creek gravel. Only thing would have to manufacture would be chicken poop black powder. Just eliminating the need for primers and cases would make it worthwhile. I wouldn't mind trying to recreate something like this. Eliminates half a dozen loading steps, sure, but also eliminates bullet molds, the need for lead and ramrods. The end product, a 30 yard shotgun, was probably super lightweight

The name of those conversations were Blanket guns..

They do show up for auction now & then
But it seems in the old west everyone cut down barrels. According to lore 2 of the 4 lawmen who received long barrels pistols from Buntline. (Like the gun that Wyatt Earp carried) could not wait to cut down the barrels to a usable length.
