The beauty of this system is that firing caps are not needed, The ignition is provided by the use of shotgun primers. The conversion was done by a guy called Richard Kershaw, First the bullet/ball is seated, Then the cylinder is turned upside down and the smokeless powder poured in, Then a shotgun primer is added to the 6 holes, Then the plate containing the firing pin is connected to the cylinder and then slotted back into the gun. Now i can do all this twice as fast as loading a conventional BP gun and it is bloody accurate too. It gives a shooting experience not unlike the .38 revolvers we were allowed to shoot before some cock decided to shoot 16 schoolkids and handguns were banned in the UK
