It's a nice looking gun for being funtionally useless. It's a muzzle loader and the manufacturer recommends 40 grains of black powder which is a pretty small load.
One of the reviews I read said the muzzle velocity and energy are something like 250fps @ 70 ft/lbs. Basically on par with a .22 short fired from a pistol of similar length. The recoil is also pretty minimal.
Basically good for showing off and bad for shooting anything.
Sounds like it is perfect for the old rock salt special.
Rock salt mostly turns to powder from the charge and the rest is powder on impact.
It says it's "break open,* which I assume means break-action. It has the lever on top for it.
