@KKF

we had a few old bandooqeN in which you had to fill the barrel with explosives [baarood] and pack it down then you would put a trigger cap and fire. it was so cumbersome so people stopped using them once they got newer version with cartridges in them [kaartoos]

btw, kartoos kin bandoN ko kahte haiN?

ek Pakistani drama dekhaa thaa jis meN ek adheR 'umr kii PaThaan laRkii apne mehmaan [potential rishta] ko deevaaroN par lagii 3 bandooqoN ke baare meN faKhriya bayaan kar rahii thii k:

1. is bandooq se Abba jii ne teen ek sher maaraa thaa
2. is waali bandooq se Abba jii ne ek bhaaloo maaraa thaa
3. aur, is waali bandooq se Abba jii ne 3 bhateeje maare the

imagine paThaanii accent!

we also had a chivalry set [zang aalood] at our ancestral home…i dunno hamaare aabaa o ajdaad ne us talvaaroN se makkhiyaaN maarii thiiN yaa bhateeje!!!

what is kartoos? In our school days, students bringing booti stuff for naqal, used to call micro notes ‘kartoos’. lols
