Fascinating! Thank you for sharingHere's one that actually did work. This breech loading flintlock was designed by Maj Patrick Ferguson and was used against the colonials during the American Revolution. Maj Ferguson was later killed at the Battle of Kings Mountain. The rifle was a limited success but was very difficult to produce at the time and suffered from the stock being weak in the wrist area because of the size of the lock. To load, twist the trigger guard dropping the breech screw. Pour in ball and powder. Raise screw. Prime pan. Aim and fire. Very quick for a flintlock.

Here's another one that actually did work and was used during the Civil War, most notably by Confederate Maj Gen J.E.B. Stuart. The Lemat was a 9 shot 42cal (repros are 44cal) revolver with a 20ga shotgun barrel axially mounted under the main barrel. It was quite expensive and very heavy compared to the commonly used Colts and Remingtons.

A couple words here about Maj Gen Stuart- he was a master of the use of cavalry and his tactics are still studied today at West Point. Stuart was born in Patrick Co, VA at the family farm, Laurel Hill. Laurel Hill is just across the NC/VA border from Mt Airy, NC. The house burned during the War and was never rebuilt and the property today is a private park. My sons earned their Eagle Scout rank by putting in a trail that goes around the park.
My first name is Jackson. Much admiration in the family for Stonewall.My middle name is Stuart after him. He is someone my father really admired.
A magazine fed revolver🤯
There is a you tube video of a reenactor getting off (I think) 8 shots on one minute with one of these.Here's one that actually did work.
