 When I first saw one I could not imagine shooting it by holding it with a left hand support. I would think a multiple discharge would end that practice in a hurry.

Wow, and we really need to give a big thanks to the auction house for showing pictures of the gun taken all to pieces! Even showing the screws!

Fascinating weapon!  Looking at the pics, it seems that it rotates by hand.
