Hello, Prof Young. He might have been refering to the magazine fed Lazeroni..I don't have my books with me, but there is a photo of such a gun in The Pagent Of The Gun. This was produced in the 1700's, I believe. The drawback with any such magazine-fed firearm before the advent of the self-contained ctg. was the very real possibility of a flash-back or leak setting off the whole works!
