as i understand it . it also shot a Square projectile . as the story goes , this was because Turks at the time beloved that to be killed by a square projectile would stop them from going to the promise land and deliver them strait to the under world . IE do not pass go , do not collect 500 bucks . Hence the reason for the square Turkish chambers . Some where around here I have as much longer and in-depth article on this piece.
it also is not a really a breech loader but actually uses a flintlock cartridge which is independently loaded and set to the drum

yep . but there is alittle more to the story of this gun .
as i understand it . it also shot a Square projectile . as the story goes , this was because Turks at the time beloved that to be killed by a square projectile would stop them from going to the promise land and deliver them strait to the under world . IE do not pass go , do not collect 500 bucks . Hence the reason for the square Turkish chambers . Some where around here I have as much longer and in-depth article on this piece.

I need more! I see one cock and frizzen. How does it get primed for each shot? Must be something I'm missing, or the rate of fire would be seriously slowed by having to reprime for each shot!!!
its my understanding that each cartradge has its own prime . i you look at the drawing that i posted , on the cartradge you will see alittle door . this door slides forward just as early revolvers did. under that door is the pan and it holds the powder
if you look on the cartradges in the artical windwalker posted , you can also see the doors
