I think I just felt a blast of cold air...   the presence of evilness, maybe?

Corey,

Picture a modern bolt action rifle with bolt action and all the other lines typical of that style of firearm, probably with a
plastic stock. Now load it from the muzzle as you would a normal ML'r. Now work the bolt as you would to insert a cartridge
into the chamber. Instead of a cartridge, you will put a cap or high power primer on a nipple and close the bolt. The rifle is
now ready to shoot. Kinda leaves you cold don't it! I remain........
