45/70 line gun. Actually shot blanks, but propelled a 45 cal brass rod about a foot long with an eye machined on the end. The string was tied through the eye and the rod was shot over the victim. This particular model had a medallion in the butt in honor of the U.S. Lifesaving Service, a forerunner of the Coast Guard. I "earned" the honor by accurately firing a .22 cal line gun after watching several others miss the target downwind, I figured in the windage......

I was handed the gun with the proviso, "Won't need any windage on this one"
You could have molded those medallions in my should for about ten days afterwards!!!!!
