"Lewis and Clark carried one on their trip. Fooled the Indians because once they saw it fired they attacked not knowing it was a repeater. On several occasions it fired four or five like a machine gun due to wearing of some part."

Do you have a reference citation for this?

I read it a while back so I don’t remember if it was from a gun magazine or a history book. I think it was a book on air rifles but not sure. I’m sure it’ll be fun for you to research it though.
