Bee,

These things normally shot Flobert caps, a sort of kissing cousin to the .22 BB Cap.

In essence, it was a primer with a lead ball seated in it.

I'll try to upload a picture of a Flobert cap (actually made by the Flobert company) that I have in my collection. I just have to remember to borrow the digital camera from a friend.

Smith & Wesson is dead to me.

If you want a Smith & Wesson, buy USED!
