[TenX]

Here is some more bits of information I scoured.

"...4) Leela (w/o Prabhu):...Then they attacked her husband Prabhu with the laathis, tamancha (local pistol), etc...." found here:

..By any chance are they considering Air Guns too, as Firearms ????

That will be the day
Actually, I am also curious about this classification now There are firearms we dont know

Hey Folks,


Here is the proper description of "Katta" & "Tamancha"


KATTA ==================== Country made single barrel handgun which can hold only one round in its barrel & does not have a clip to hold more than one round....in short single round firing guns........Very unstable & can burst in ur hands as well.....take care on this one


TAMANCHA ======================= Country made revolver which has 4 to 6 chambers for holding bullets & can be used to open fire without having to pull the hammer........commonly used by dacoits & others in UP,Bihar, Rajasthan............More stable than Katta but the cartridge usually stucks in the chamber so you need to pull it with forcep.



Cheers!!!!!!!!! now you have the discription of both
