Broomhandle accuracy

A good news. I persuaded a Shansei Broomhandle owner to test fire from one of his original .45ACP to verify it's working or not. He said he would do it. It's a rare chance to see how this well known gun works. Have not happened yet, waiting. Hopefully, soon. I bet most collectors have not shot original .45ACP Shansei variation.

Reason for this... we know that most Shansei .45ACP were dumped into blast furnaces during the Great Leap Forward Movement. But why? CP was not rich in guns in 1950s... why was Shansei dumped, that's against logic and it's a myth. Shooting it, probably can reveal something on this gun. Need more people firing a few rounds from their treasure.
