Allin/Silva

Warning Spoilers through Straits of Hell. The Allin/Silva rifle is a .50/80 cartridge shooting single shot breach loader. Similar to the Trapdoor Springfield see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Model_1873 The breach block is opened and the metallic cartridge inserted to load.

Some 20 gauge smooth bore shotguns were made from muskets.

"Tech Data suitable for Wiki: As of Devil’s Due, the “standard” infantry rifle of the United Homes and increasingly, the Grand Alliance (with the exception of the Republic of Real People) is the Allin-Silva “trapdoor” conversion. It has a 36″ barrel with a bore diameter of .50, land to land, and .514 groove to groove. Rate of twist is 1-48″. It fires a .50-80 caliber straight(very slightly tapered)cartridge, loaded with a 450grn medium-soft alloy lead bullet with large grease grooves filled with a high temperature natural wax cut with grikakka oil. The bullet alloys vary, but achieve a Brinell hardness @ 10. Powder charge is 80grns of medium fine (roughly 3FFFG equivalent) charcoal, potassium nitrate, and sulfur gunpowder. Muzzle velocity averages 1,500 FPS (checked on a LabRadar Doppler radar chronograph)."
