NICHOLS MODEL 95 BULLET FIRING RIFLE
Here's another good close-up of the receiver area and the 3-piece bullets and a box of caps.

As has been written before, these cartridges were ported so that more of the exhaust gases could exit and thus lower the velocity of the bullet to a reasonable speed. I personally would have preferred something over 900 fps myself. I never thought of putting in multiple caps!

Nice photo thanks to Judy Sinkular
