Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Say your prayers Weezer
I think these were intended for ship captains as a last resort against mutineers.
More about threatening a crowd than actual marksmanship.
Evenly spaced and no more than 4 feet away.
smooth bore though, so who knows if you'll hit literally any of them
I just visited a historical battleship museum and at the small arms locker they had a list of all the dozens of pistols, rifles, light machine guns, and so forth they had on board... and also three or four short-barreled shotguns that a contemporary crewman account affectionately referred to as "mutiny guns."
Oh, hey! Same one Mechagodzilla uses!
