Pounder Long Gun

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or gun:

“It seems perfectly simple and inevitable, like lying down after a long day’s work.”
—Robert Erskine Childers (1870–1922)

“We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
