ROUND BULLETS FOR CHRISTIANS
SQUARE BULLETS FOR TURKS
Explanation For Those Wondering: The Puckle Gun was an 18th century British experimental weapon, depicted, which was a stationary weapon capable of rapid-fire (for the period). It was marketed without much success, but one of the curiousities is that round (normal) bullets were recommended for fellow ‘Christian’ enemies, while square bullets were recommended for ‘Turks’ and other ‘heathens’.
