Thomás Rémi Blampied (1760-1805)Born in Ottawa,Canada Died of Scarlet fever in New England.

Is well known across the United States of America for first creating the concept of the sawed-off shotgun. The story is told across America that his father was killed during the conflicts between Britain and America, to seek revenge Thomás cut the barrel of his father's shotgun to a quarter of its original length and went out in search of the British General that was supposed have devastated his father's regiment (Brigadier McConnell). This modification damaged the accuracy but doubled the power but obviously made the weapon a lot easier to conceal. This aided Thomás in his assasination of Brigadier McConnell which was told to be successful.
