This video from Forgotten Weapons showcases the rare Gevelot 11mm Sliding-Chamber Pinfire Rifle. Designed by the Gevelot cartridge company as a competitor to the French military's Modele 1866 Chassepot, this rifle features a unique sliding chamber mechanism. Unlike conventional designs, the cartridge remains stationary, and a chamber slides over it. The video highlights the rifle's modified pinfire ammunition, where the pin is centrally located for inline ignition. Thanks to the Institute of Military Technology for providing access to this historical firearm.
