An interesting article.

The elite company of the Austrian Cuirassiers in 7YW carried a kind of grenade launcher carbine?

Also, an air rifle invented for the Austrians by an Italian that might have been semi-automatic? Failed because of leaking gaskets?

The Lewis and Clark Expedition actually took that semi-automatic air rifle on their expedition to hunt small game. It worked well enough for them.

L&C used their air rifle to over-awe the Indians. They would fire off a series of shots and say: "Look, we never have to reload".
