    I bet he loved it! recently i was watching Cap & ball on you tube shooting a brand new pair of wheellock pistols built by polish gunmaker Bolek Maciaszyk, The speed of ignition was phenomenal, A 16th century gun & it was fast really fast, No delay on those!

    Try a matchlock where you have to blow on the smouldering match to ensure it is hot enough before the shot , Then watch when pulling the trigger as the match holder does a lazy arc over to stub itself out in the powder pan.

    flintlock

    I have a video taken at the club of my mate having his first go with a BROWN-BESS which is on my ticket as a 10-bore,
    It is a pity I do not know how to upload a video on here,
    I always end up with a que wanting ago when I take it to the range,
    always a fun day out,

    I always warn newcomers to the club when they want a go with a bp gun of any description that it's more addictive than crack cocaine.
