Gun Fun - Steampunk

Pull that Webly-Vickers 50-70 on me will you? Well take this you cad!
Easily sufficient to strike fear into the heart of the dastardly Baron von Twogoggles, or anyone else within 50 yards in any direction, here we have a prototype of a Martini-Henry grenade launcher, a 1916 M79.

The coil spring recoil buffer is certainly clever. It's giving me ideas.

The whole history, complete with a lengthy list of its progenitors is here on the Firearms Blog.
