Beauregard,\u003cbr\u003e Braxton Bragg and J.E.B. Stewart.\u003cbr\u003e The LeMat revolver was a .42 or .36 caliber cap \u0026amp; ball black \u003cbr\u003e powder revolver invented by Dr. Jean Alexandre LeMat of \u003cbr\u003e New Orleans, which featured a rather unusual secondary 16 gauge \u003cbr\u003e smoothbore barrel capable of firing buckshot, and saw service \u003cbr\u003e with the armed forces of the Confederate States of America during \u003cbr\u003e the American Civil War of 1861–1865.\u003cbr\u003e Grilletto e tamburo funzionanti.\u003cbr\u003e Lunghezza: 357mm.\u003cbr\u003e Peso: 1200gr.\u003cbr\u003e Per info e\/o acquisto veloce senza account:\u003cbr\u003e info@softair-italia.it\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"softair italia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42800124428439,"sku":"DNX-1070-M!K","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/6346\/5367\/products\/Lemat_20Confederate_20Revolver_b402a50b-96c0-4515-97b1-3c0fdb0c6c2c.jpg?v=1672475548","url":"https:\/\/www.softair-italia.it\/products\/lemat-confederate-revolver-41-caliber-20-guge-real-replica-by-denix","provider":"Softair Italia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
