Give me one example where a double rifle was used by any countries military?
I don't have one, WBill. I was referring to gun powder propelling a projectile. And then putting the powder and bullet into a case that has priming. The whole progression and evolution of firearms has been for military purpose first, if in idea inception if not in practice. I don't know of any examples, but I am sure that a double rifle has been used to military purpose at some point in history.

Is a double somehow untainted? Are there cartridges that are untainted, while others are bathed in the blood of millions? Firearms are tools. Their first use was military in nature. As I said, the distinction lies within the individual holding the gun, not the inherent nature of the gun. That is all propaganda, like the term 'assault rifle'. Only humans have motives. Tools are just collections of atoms.
