- These are the two pistols shown in CWRevolvers.hamin.
-
- The objects are to a (very approximate) scale of 1 Imagine unit = 1 mm.
-
- The LeMat is a remarkable and rare revolver favored by Confederate general
- officers. The barrel really IS half octagonal and half round. This is the
- "First Model," with nine shots (!) of caliber .42 inch (10.6mm) in the
- conventional cylinder and a .63 inch (16mm) shotgun barrel below.
-
- Starr was third in Union pistol procurement (behind Colt and Remington).
- The model shown is the 1858 Army in caliber .44 inch (11mm). This was a
- self-cocking weapon: everything happens when the trigger is pulled, but
- it cannot be used single-action by cocking the hammer. Squeamish users
- may wish to remove the tacks from the handgrip, a form of decoration
- allegedly practiced by Jesse James (who owned a pistol of this model) in
- place of cutting notches.
-
- These objects require the Wood texture included with Imagine. The LeMat
- also uses Grid for checkering, and the Star uses Camouflage for
- case-hardening on the hammer, trigger, and loading lever assembly.
-
- Freely distributable, but if you use or distribute either object without
- this file you must credit:
