    This rifle was mentioned in one of Dewey Lambdin's navel novels. It was also used in one of the Austrian army's battles. Even though it had great fire power, it was eventually abandoned because of the extra support needed to keep the air chamber pressurized. It took one man about 30 minutes to fill it.
