    You were obviously not a very experienced Blackpowder shooter. You had two patches, which is why you could not get the ball to seat into the barrel correctly. The ball for a .50 caliber firearm should be .490. The patch should be .010. Should you feel that’s a little too difficult to load go to 1.005 patch. Also, the spout on your flask can be utilized as the measure. Two fills of a 25 grain spout equals 50 grains. Some practice and figure it out. I hope nobody uses your video as a tutorial.

      It's a watermelon, cannot be compared to a human skull whatsoever. The human skull is extremely tough, and there have been recorded instances where shots from a distance have actually smudged out on corners of the skull or have failed to even enter. At that range, yeah it'd probably kill you but the muzzle velocity of these weapons are very low. An Aboriginal tribe leader in Australia survived being shot by a flintlock many, many times and there have been many other recordings of such thing. A lot of the time it just ended up being a death from infection or lead poisoning which is all pretty ironic but then again you could die from a rose thorn infection back then which just comes to show how far modern medicine has come.
      Also just for math sake, velocity equates to more kinetic energy than mass as 1/2mv²=Kv, so were mass is halved, velocity is squared. The internal damage for modern firearms, specifically rifles, is also much, much more dramatic.

      My logic is that if a BB can take something out, then I shouldn't laugh at a muzzleloader.

    A .44 cap and ball revolver with a maximum powder load (about 35 grains, depending on gun model) has about the same power (bullet mass and velocity) as a .38 Special. Very much adequately lethal, and once modern type sights were invented (15th century?) even smoothbore pistols were accurate enough that they had to *leave the sights off* dueling pistols to cut down the number of double kills in duels...

    • @63DW89A
      @63DW89A Год назад +9

      Using proper black powders really ups the performance of the cap and ball revolvers. Under a 217 grain conical bullet, I use 22 grains of Swiss Null B (extremely fine grain 5Fg black powder) to duplicate 1860's era combustible envelope cartridges loaded with Hazard Cartridge powder, using the thin gift wrapping tissue as envelope paper. From my 8 inch barrel Uberti replica Remington Army .44, the 217 grain conical hits 950 ft/per/second, pretty well equal to a modern 45 ACP +P load! These C&B revolvers, properly loaded are no joke, being as deadly as any modern handgun and superbly accurate to long handgun ranges of 100+ yards.

      I have 4 black powder revolvers and people who say they aren't accurate have never shot one. I can understand they have issues like with the colt style clsometimes they get paper or cap jams from the close tolerances and the wedge design issues, but my colt walker I've shot out to around 60 yards with inherent accuracy and at around 30 or so it's a death machine.
      Now of course the gun has a 9 inch barrel and holds a pretty big charge, but seeing that smoke feeling the light push from a black powder gun and seeing that ball hit a golf ball at 30 yards, woo boy.
      Maybe I'm just the few but I fine the hammer backsight very easy to use accurately. Of course this is all bench shooting, I would never want to carry a walker too many problems, but a 1858 new army or 1851 navy they are pointers and can be shot point very profeciently

    You neglected to attempt to resolve the situation peacefully and to have seconds resolve it in your place twice, there was no doctor, and you clearly gave yourself an unfair advantage with the positioning of the sun, otherwise, you would have performed the duel at night, as you are meant to. It also did not seem that you allowed the melon to perform any religious rites beforehand to prepare for the afterlife and did not allow it to notify those who grew from the same vine. You skipped to the ninth commandment despite the fact that the previous eight could have saved a melon’s life. I am, quite frankly, appalled, and, based on your lack of honor, I am forced to assume you have something against melons. May God have mercy on your soul.

    • @Lollygagger-k4p
      @Lollygagger-k4p 10 месяцев назад

      At typical pistol ranges in those days, these were as accurate as any Glock. Remember that although they had primitive sights, the actual sight radius makes up for it, and, the length of the barrel made these guns extremely accurate with plenty of velocity, which in the case of this pistol and this load, would have been about 900fps at the muzzle - much like a standard loaded Colt .45 today.
