This 4-shot double action only pepperbox revolver was made by Guillaume Mariette in Belgium in the 1840s. Its caliber is .38 cal, bores are smooth. The chamber takes 12 grains of 3Fg powder and that delivers a 120-130 m/s muzzle velocity. A loud little cricket. A cool tool for self defense.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
