My nephew just brought over some potatoe pancakes. No, the potatoes weren't from the garden. Not bad for his first try. I dont mind being the guinea pig and trying out different food items.
I have always pretty much thought that the term "Horse Pistol" was referring to how it was carried and not what the target was meant to be.It appears alot believe it was to stop the horse though. I don't totally believe that to be the primary reason for a large caliber.
I have heard people comment on it but have never seen it in writing about "horse pistols" or larger calibers being for the specific purpose of stopping a horse. Though it does make sense.
