I always hear that if the Founding Fathers had known about High Capacity Magazines they would have outlawed them. Well, the next time you hear that tell them to google the Lewis and Clark air rifle. It was designed in the 1780's by an Italian engineer for the Austrian army fighting Napoleons Armies. It was capable of holding 20-22 .46cal round balls and firing them accurately at 100yds in approx 2 minutes. Each rifle could fire 40 shots with a charged reservoir, and came with 2 extra reservoirs.
One of them was owned by a man who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition to map the Northwest Territory, and Lewis used it to full advantage as you will see in the video.
