The LeMat is a unique revolver from the mid 1800's, most notable for it's use by the Confederacy during the American Civil War... that and the fact that is has a 9 shot cylinder that revolves around a 20ish gauge shotgun barrel.
This happens to be a reproduction made by Pietta, and herein we will create some paper cartridges and demonstrate the loading and firing of this rather quixotic handgun.
