Thanks for that one. A recent long treatment I read (much based on expedition journals) indicates several of the tribes encountered were quite fascinated by that.

One more and this one does not need any background check and in the sunlight its deadly projectiles reflect light just like deadly tracers and it's still available by mail order just like Lee Harvey Oswald's Manlicker-Cinzano! Even the Army used it in a program called Quick Kill.
