Yeah, like I said, the rounds fired are clearly centerfire cartridges with a primer cap, a metallic case (that is visibly ejected upon firing), a tapered "ball" bullet, and the contained whale oil propellant charge. All in all, a fairly modern design that wouldn't be compatible with a flashpan/flint-lock/musket-ball/pain-the-ass-to-reload style pistol.


 * shrugs*

Maybe I'll look into it a bit further and see if the pistol models used by Officers are any different, and if they can shed some light on the situation.
