Other Notes: The Park Rifle was a short lived design brought out by The Park Rifle Company and built on John Whiscombe's patent of twin pistons firing towards each other eliminating recoil and increasing swept volume. The unique design of the Park Rifle was its use of a bicycle chain concealed within the fore-end running on gears which drew the pistons apart equally. Whilst of brilliant design, its weight, coupled with the resurgence of pre-charged pneumatic guns led to its quick demise. It is believed less than 1000 rifles were produced
