Derringer Liegi (Replica)

I find this quite interesting (although it is percussion vs flintlock):



You load it by unscrewing the barrel:



Anyone notice anything missing? How about some magic:



Yes, the trigger doesn't pop down until you cock the pistol. In case you said: "sights" - yes, there aren't any sights either, but there isn't any "magic" in that.

Aside from the nifty trigger, that's about as simple a firearm as you can get. I like it.

What's up with the 3 barrels though? Different calibers? The last one reminds me of a cannon.

It only comes with one barrel, what they are showing is 3 different versions of the same gun. Notice the engraving on the "receiver" of the top one.

What you do is unscrew the barrel and then pour the powder into the receiver. You then place the ball, and then screw on the barrel. You don't use a patch. It comes with a small tool that looks like a nipple wrench. It fits into the muzzle and will allow you to unscrew it with force in case it gets stuck.
