Hey, what about the Lewis and Clark air rifle?

Hey, correct me if I'm wrong:

wasn't that technically the most rapid-fire rifle of the era?
You filled the air bladder up, I think you got something like 15-20 shots before it lost pressure. All you had to do was recock the device and drop another ball in the tube.
You get the 2nd shot off while the other guy is still pouring powder. If you're fast, you might get the 3rd shot off before they shoulder it.
