I am wondering how you would fire a BP rifle without a ball. Full load of powder but no ball. The reason for doing this would be for re-enacting or celabration noise makeing like on the 4th of July or New Years. Any ideas?

Years ago I used to reenact at Fort Niagara. They got real upset if anything but blackpowder was put down the barrel. The reason for this is that any wadding could come out
" Hot " and burn a spectator. :no:
When loaded behind a ball or bullet, I can usually find my Wonder Wads about 20-25 yards down range.
