    Stumped at the oddball though
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    Had second thoughts, one is a Webley Fosbery, a Puckle gun, and two variations of Colonel Fizziwigs Combobulator.

    Talking of the puckle gun which was a early hand cranked gun like a Gatling but much cruder,the bullits for it were made
    Square for infidels and round for christians, what side are you on.

    Flogger, I am definitely a Christian, became one on 2nd June 1976 when living in Africa, but not on anybody's side when it comes to shooting people, only innocent victims. There are still a couple of Puckle guns on display in UK, I think we have a replica down here at Bucklers Hard. I have actually used a Webley Fosbery in Africa, and owned a Colonel Fizziwig steam punk revolver at one stage.

    I thought the 'fizzy' was just a myth, OMG do they actually work? and if so what the bl***y hell do they shoot? On a more serious note I have a Webley Fosberry manual, it was 'issued' but I have no idea as to whom, it is for sale if anyone wants to make a serious offer [ e mail ray210645@yahoo.co.uk], not in 'as new condition' obviously but complete; the front cover page is detached for the sake of honesty, but the book is totally readable and I suppose to some extent rare.
