Have A Look At This :


Recommended Posts

This was a shot with patch and ball , and I was amaised how fast it was .

 

If you look at the second image of Sai Jo Saku it looks like the slowmatch is making an arch towards the primer .

 

I want to shoot it at the World championships in Hungaria .

Paul, People do not realise just how efficient early ignition systems were. I have fired matchlock, wheel lock, flintlock and percussion cap guns and they are all pretty fast, with probably the flintlock having the longest delay.

In my experiance air temparture is of influence , at 25 degrees C it is just as fast  as percussion if the tempartures go higher it gets scarry , some times I wondred if I had pulled the trigger at al ,

if tempartures drop below frezingpoint it is a fraction slower .

Paulus, I LOVE IT - and the background drum and reloading activity too.  Thanks for putting it up.  Looks like a really good day.  There is one day a year here in Victoria, Australia, where people dress up in period costume and fire cannon and mortars http://www.95thriflesaustralia.com/events/taminick

 

Best regards,

BaZZa.
