What real black powder looks like

Wait till you fire both barrels out of a 12 gauge coach gun.

Got one; done that.  If you're asleep, it'll sure wake you up!

That always tears the skin off my knuckles when I do that.

You should try my 10 ga. Even with full barrles it will back you
and make you look for that dam mule.

I would love to find a set of coach gun barrles for it

I'll second the 10 guage, I had a original 1887 Winchester shotgun in 10 guage with a 26" barrel back when I did wild west reenacting, all of my buddies had double 12 guages and loaded 80 grs of ffg, I bought some winchester BP blanks for the hulls and so we could measure what the factory load was, it was 218 grains of ffg. The first time I fired a round in one of our shootouts there were at least a half dozen kids in the croud that started bawling, I kind of felt bad but at the same time I loved it.

I can not wait to make some smoke.  Hehehe Love the bit of smoking the .22 fellows. I bet the blackpowder was the better. I think the sound of a BP gun would empty a room very fast even the shooter. Only hing I hope I do not break a nail..anyway if I do it will be in a enjoyable way.

When in college, my brother and I had a bp shoot-out during a beer bust at a friends house...we loaded up full charges in our  wheel guns topped off with styrofoam bullets..you're right----start making smoke inside without warning and the room cleared right out..even of the shooters (us).  Most of the guests didn't seem to enjoy
our form of entertainment.  GO FIGGER!!
