Found this to be very interesting. I doubt engineers of today could design and produce this gun, yet it was done almost 400 years ago with hand tools. Simply amazing.

I watched the video last night on the Kalthoff. I'm still amazed at the engineering and construction of this hand-built rifle even by today's standards let alone in 1659. I want one!

I had no idea that this existed.
