Behind the Scenes Secrets of Disney Princesses

For example, did you know they have to go through voice training in order to do the role just right? Or that they have to reaudition every year?

I have a hard time imagining that the ball would not roll out of the barrel while you are chopping away at the foliage. Is the design flawed or does someone not really understand how it was truly meant to be used?

At any rate, here at least is clear evidence that pirates and ninjas were not always mortal enemies and could collaborate on important projects from time to time...

i could totally find use for a modern day version of this. they do make bayonet attachments for pistols, but not machetes. that is just too gangsta, especially for back in the day.

"Is the design flawed or does someone not really understand how it was truly meant to be used?"

The first fifty Elgin pistols we have on record were ordered for the US Exploring Expedition of 1837. The journals and letters that were written by the members of the expedition are pretty specific as to the purpose of the blade as a means to make trail through heavy brush.

Twenty-five years later, those very same pistols were issued to Union sailors on blockade duty during the American Civil War, and they were supposed to be used as a weapon while boarding enemy vessels. The official records note that the guns were "unpopular" with the men, which probably means that they were hated with a passion so intense we can barely understand it.

The Elgin was quickly replaced with the M1860 cutlass, which proved to be "popular". We can only speculate as to the relief that some enlisted schmoe felt when he was allowed to turn in his Elgin for a nice, heavy-bladed chopping sword.
