Aren’t there places in the areas of WWI trenches where access is forbidden due to the massive amounts of unexplained shells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Worse are the shells they unexpectedly find during construction. Shut down the site, evacuate the area, call in the experts. $$$$$$$ A couple years ago they ran across British spigot mortars with mustard gas while excavating for a new building. No one knew there had ever been an emplacement there. No records of in any documents. This crap is all over the world. There are sea mines still out there. Most have sunk to the bottom and we just want then to rust away but some occasionally drift into shallow waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anything about them other than the double hammers were in case one didn't fire, hopefully the other would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea on some was two hammers with different length flash holes and a double charge. So you had powder-ball, protective wading, powder-ball. One hammer ignited the forward powder charge then the second ignited the rear charge. No idea if they actually worked as designed. Early attempt at a repeating firearm. A redundant hammer in case of a misfire was the other, more practical design. I liked the Underhammer rifles for dangerous game. One hammer with two nipples into a single charge.

ChuteTheMall Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 At 600 rounds per minute, a 30 round mag is emptied in 3 seconds. Running out of ammo every 3 seconds is not my idea of effective. But I'm not in Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
