The groundbreaking Belton flintlock repeater, with firearms & weaponry expert Jonathan Ferguson
This pair of pioneering flintlock muskets are like none we’ve shown on this series before. They represent an 18th century attempt to create a genuine repeater weapon. Not only were these weapons actually purchased in not insignificant numbers by one of history’s most controversial organisations, their story is also associated with some of the most recognisable names in US history.
This really isn’t an episode to be missed.
