Love the le mat! Little heavy with a h%#! Of a punch! I'd take it over many guns even today.

Well no arguing it. He carried the le mat which makes him very well armed.
Question did he carry 1 or 2? I also heard he carried a Kerr as well.

Years ago, I had a friend whose uncle collected LeMat's and I had the pleasure of being able to handle several of them, my impression of them was that they were heavy and not very well balanced.

Why is it that all the great off the wall guns during this time were invented by Doctor's such as LeMat and Gatling

Because they were doctrits were in how to put more rounds down range, or as a friend of mine says "spreading freedom on the range"

Great vid, I've always liked the LeMat, I own a copy/replica of the LeMat and the thing weighs a ton, it's not so much a pistol but more a WMD..

Thanks for sharing! I've seen photos before, but never anything as instructive and 'up close and personal' as this video.

The LeMat must have been a chore to reload. I would love to own a replica but $800+ is way out of my price range. I rely on others to relate their experiences. I am relying upon your expenses.

The rest of you guys/gals let me know what it is like. It is probably heavier than a Walker and that is a big gun.

The prevailing commentary is that while gorgeous pieces of artwork, they are problematic shooters with weak loading levers. Most owners buy and sell theirs unfired (myself included), so bottom line would be 'you ain't missing much'.
