Flintlock or Percussion? How about both?

This punt gun has a really unique ignition system:

Skip to around the five minute mark, where the camera focuses on the lock. I  suspect that it is an old flintlock partially converted.

Interesting that it has twin percussion caps as well. 

Got a little scary when the old man stood in front of the barrel with the decoy after the missfire.

Yeah, I got a little nervous when I saw him do that.  :o
