How many shot would this gun fire before one needed to reload, about 6? Also is it likely that a person could fire all 6 before replacing the flint?<br /><br />Thanks for your help and thanks for this post!Author Lindsay Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937572146199133884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927870683677181756.post-70338521419878701742010-09-28T04:25:50.563-04:002010-09-28T04:25:50.563-04:00A very interesting question!
