arms, hunting The guns then were not as good as they are now. There are gadgets to clean them.The cartridges were much cheaper when homemade than when bought in a shop. Anecdote: the night that they killed forty pidgeons between the four brothers.The old guns that they used.The guns that were loaded from the top.The gadget that was used to make the cartridges was of a different size; or depending on the gun they were bought at the same time. At that time a gun cost five hundred pesetas.During the war the guns were hidden because the Germans confiscated them.Where the family guns were hidden.The year after the war there were lots of pidgeons.Some people breed pidgeons at home. He has never done it.He stopped using the gun because of his sight. His best memory is that day when he killed the most pidgeons.
