You know you wanted it.

...but you didn't want to dig through the archives or visit the Castle. But you knew you wanted to take another look at a french Chassepot Needle Gun with Cartridge inserted. If only for a firearms moment of Zen...

Besides, some of you are new, and haven't seen this stuff at all!

What's this? A picture of a French weapon after it's been dropped and it's owner heading to the rear?
 
Aw, c'mon, Ip! It's a weird old weapon, and there are still plenty of brave Frenchmen, I just betcha they're grumbling into their vin 'cause they're not in charge. Reminds me of the time I made a fool of myself, in front of a serious, real collector, at the rifle collection at the Chickamauga battlefield park. It's a good place to check out if yer ever in the North-Western corner of Georgia with time on your hands. They have a room there with what must be hundreds of different old rare rifles, and carbines, and muskets, oh my!
