    thanks
    if you mean do they take cartridges - no they don't. The law changed several years ago and cartridge pistols are now Section 5 firearms and only legally available to the very select few.

    These guns are loaded by pouring a measured charge of powder into each chamber from the front (hence 'muzzle loading'), putting in some packing material (either a thick fibre wad or semolina for example), ramming a ball onto the top, placing a percussion cap on a nipple on the rear of the chamber, cocking the gun and pulling the trigger. Big cloud of smoke, big bang, hole in the target (hopefully!)
    My wife complains that I've got more sense than money.
