What is the center barrel of a Le Mat used for?

[ormond tony]

I have read two articles that have contradictory views of the center barrel of a Le Mat pistol. One said that it's a 20 gauge shotgun barrel (and I saw 'duelist1954" use it thusly). But then I read in a sales article that it's for a round ball, maybe .69 caliber. Any information on what it was used with? Each time I loaded it was with powder, wadding, 5 or 6 00 buckshot, and overshot wad. Either way sounds good to me.

IF you are referring to the larger, shorter barrel, it is a twenty gauge shotgun essentially.

20 gauge bore, .69 is between 16 and 12 gauge. It's an interesting pistol, it will definitely rock you back when you touch off that short shotgun barrel.
