Oh yes, I definitely am.
Any evidence produced? And why, in your opinion, should breech loading of handguns differ from cannon? m Last edited by Matchlock; 2nd November 2010 at 12:22 AM. |

Hi Alexander,
I didn't realize the file was so heavy and not possible to send by regular email. So i have sent it through a special email system. I hope it reaches you any time from now. When you get it please confirm that you can open the file. Last edited by fernando; 15th November 2010 at 08:00 PM. |
