I'm the one with the gun. I used it as a two handed mace. It was fun

Hey Chazz, I remember you from Pennsic two years ago; I'm Ben, the one Jonathan named affectionately "Puck." You stayed in Camp Drachenstein with me.
Anywho, that "handgonne" was awesome. I think the best part was you standing on the battlements of the castle and pointing it at some archer, then raising the fuse to the back end of the gun. I think the poor guy actually thougt he was gonna be shot.
Heh. Good times.

I have a question about those sabatons. I don't think that those would be practical for infantry?
IIRC, the pointy toes are to let you more easily signal the horse to set and change gait leads?
This dude would trip and fall every time those toes got caught in the ground...right?

That is too cool for school! Did anybody recognize it? Did anybody freak out and scream 'AAAAAH! GUN!'
Post pics of that weapon, and its details of construction! Tout de suite!
