Weapons

Unique performances for an incredible emotion

The firearms that we manufacture and that are shown below belong to the Category D of the French laws. Any person who has reached the age of majority (18 years old) can purchase and possess such firearms.

The firearms shown below only use black powder as propelling charge - never use smokeless powder. The range can exceed 1,000 meters/1093 yards, depending on the quality and the granulations of the propelling charge, the mass and the shape of the projectile, the angle of firing and the diameter of the vent. Depending on the load, the kinetic energy at the muzzle can be twice the energy of a full load .357 Magnum ammunition!

A gem that improves with time

Since each artillery piece is unique, time will change its appearance in a unique way. For instance, a natural patina will appear on some metal parts, particularly the bronze parts, which will result in a perfectly natural and normal change in their color.
