Long range with a large calibre ball. Then at short range load up with "canister". Better than a swivel gun! YouTube link |

They were quite useful for picking out work parties, shooting through hoardings and gabions, damaging enemy guns or any other targets that could be taken out by a high-powered well aimed shot. They were also quite effective against storming parties when positioned in bottlenecks where lots of men were lined up. |
