Howda" is how they say Houdini in Timbuktoo. A "Howda' gun makes the jungle beasties vanish like Houdini on a Halloween night. Possible that Ithaca patterened their "Auto_Burglar" sawed-off wrist breaker on the "Howda"-- concept--

I have not seen "UTU" so cannot comment on that in particular.
Maori used double barrelled shotguns("Tupara"or two barrels) to good effect during the Maori land wars 1860-72. They were muzzle loading guns loaded with conical or shot and were usually elaborately carved.
Here's a typical example.

In "The League of Extrodinary Gentlemen" Allan Quaterman (Sean Connery) fired a double rifle at extraordinary range at glass balls floating in the ocean. He hit them.

RWTF, you just had a continent warp there. (Almost as bad as a time warp!) Timbuktu is in Africa (Mali, to be more exact), not India. They didn't hunt jungle beasties from howdahs in Africa, one reason being that African elephants don't take kindly to being ridden. So howdah is a term you might hear--or might have heard, in times past--in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), but not Timbuktu.

that's 'cause OO7 never misses!!

So maybe it was TimBukThree already-- and now, with it being almost St. patty;s day- the 'punch line"-- Robby Burns and Will Shakespeare stand before St. Peter- having both croaked on the self same day (this is joke, not reality)-- Pete says-- i can only let one of you guys in today- so the one with the best 4 line couplet that rhymes with Timbuktu gets it-- Shakespeare is up on deck first- his verse: "I've travelled the world of many lands, I've walked across the desert sands- One day a sailing ship came into view- it's destination- Timbuktu--- Bobby rips off this little gem: Tim and I a walkin' went, when we spied three naked women, in a tent. As they were three, and we but two, well- I buck One and Tim Buck Two!!!
