My brother has one, and I was thinking about getting one. They are an interesting design. Anybody here shoot one?

Another link: www.pacificrifle.com/hammer.htmBasically, it is a muzzleloader where the hammer resides under the gun. The trigger guard is actually the mainspring. It is a very simple design, and very weather resistant. I understand it made it's debut not too long before cartridge arms caught on, thus it's genius was never fully appreciated.
