Picked this 36cal. Twister pistol up at a show and the only thing I know about is it's never been shot and I have no idea how to shoot it... I mean I don't have any idea what ball it takes his much powderto use does it even take a patch . I've looked on line a can't find anything I do know my. 375 36cal. Round ball is to big so I was hoping one of you experts could help me along.... Thanks in advance....

Cool looking little gun. Somebody in a good gun shop should be able to measure the bore for you.
For powder, maybe like 5 or 10 grains to start with. Don't think you can go too heavy.
Good luck with it.
 
They were made by Classic Arms along with a pepperbox, duck foot, snake eyes and the New Orleans Ace back in the 70s. They were available as a kit or finished. I have one of the kits somewhere, haven't seen it in over 35 years but I'll get 'round to it one of these days. Obviously they are a smoothbore and will need a patched round ball. I can't help with the diameter but I would not go over 10 grains of 3f.
 
I have one of their pepperboxes,and it uses a .350 ball in the smoothbore barrel. I am guessing the Twister would be the same.

Classic's stuff was not really "traditional", but in the spirit, and they made some neat little guns.
