I have bought from Mr. Lefaucheux a carbine and a gun; besides the advantages of a quick loading, I have found in them a more accurate and longer range, especially with bullets. The carbine, much less heavy, much easier to load than the Swiss carbines, has given me in two or three Cantons, over the shooters of these cantons, an advantage that I attribute entirely to the superiority of the system.
