This thread has picked up so many followers because (I for one) cant wait to see what sort of Whopper Mr Beans will tell to back up his precarious, but dearly held, beliefs about Smith guns. I remember years ago the thread about the decorated Nitro Lefever and how it was a one of a kind, etc etc. It was bizarre. He held fast to his opinion though, despite the fact that anyone paying attention could see what it was(is). Again, bizarre. But, you have to give the captain his due when he goes down with his ship every. single. time.
