VOLCANIC REPEATING PISTOLS.
THIS PISTOL can bo discharged with greater
rapidity and certainty than any other pistol
jiow iu use. The iollowing is an extract in relation
to them, taken from the New Haven Palladium:
“We have seen and fired a pistol recently in
vented and patented, which bids fair to excel eve
ry thing in that line that has yet been offered to
the public attention. It seems to combine all
that could be desired in such a weapon. Colt’s
pistol compared with it seems like a distortion, ora
clumsy, uncouth, and ridiculous affair for a fire-arm.
The \ olcantc pistol carries a Minie or conical ball,
in a rifle barrel, and will put it through a three
men plank at a distance of ninety rods. T}ie re
ceiving tube will hold ten ball cartridges, which
may be deposited in two seconds of finje, The
pistol may be discharged .thirty times In fifty sec
onds. It is so contrived that it is not liable to ac
cidental discharge. There is mo priming, no caps,
and therefore no danger to the eyes from any igni
tion near the breach. Neither is there :yiy recoil,
so as to jar the arm or disturb a sure aim. The
whole construction is so simple as not to get out of
order even from long use. The powder and ball
are enclosed in the same metallic cover, so that a
person could swim a river with one of these in his
belt without in the slightest degree injuring the
powder. In short, the weapon is in all respects
one of the most perfeqt thiugs in the shooting line ■
