I remember a company CMC that made tons of money

Marketing and selling cheap little blackpowder pocket guns and DYI kits. I think they were all inexpensive. There was a single shot boot pistol, sxs double barrel, a three barrel “duck foot” that’s still on my list, and a recreation of the Allen & Thurber Pepperbox. All smooth bore .36 cal for the .350 RB.

Today they command stupid prices ($300-300) because goofy older sods like me remember them from our youth and we have more money than sense. You can buy a REAL Allen & Thurber Pepperbox in nice shape from the 1870’s or so for an easy $1000 budget. Not bad for a 150 yr. Old piece of history.

I say the pepper box as the most reasonable of the bunch for defense. But that duck foot, for crowd control, or turned sideways to hammer one head to toe. It just looked like a sinister idea made real.
