Interesting piece of history worth watching.... Girandoni air rifle as used by Lewis and Clark. A National Firearms Museum Treasure Gun. - YouTube

Yup, fooled the silly ignorant savages. Cool weapon in any event. Wish he'd said more about how it's pumped up. Talk about you'll put your eye out!

In the Pic the Air Pump is on the bottom; not unlike a Bicycle Air Pump.

The pump is similar to a bicycle tire pump . The butt unscrews from the receiver to fill it. You could have carried extra with you if you had wanted , quite common with English Ball Resevoir guns which had the air stored in a 'ball' .
