Carpet Tube shooting ?? With strange results........

[B P Maniac Shooter]

Pulled another one from the archives in 2017. This was filmed in the old days using cheap cameras, no music and not very good editing either.
Tried some carpet shooting fun with 50 and 100 grains of Schuetzen 3F powder.
Enjoy:

Gee I wanted to see a bullseye thru the tube with no cans

Hmmmm, that will give me a reason to film that one again!

I only have one question. WHY?
What is the reason for this?
maybe 18th century beer cans are tuff'r

It's something different to shoot other than the usual boring paper targets. I have shot at multiple magazines, multiple milk jugs, soda cans, glass windows ( yes, cleaned the glass up ) ricochet off steel, actual tack driving into boards, into soda cans & other things I can't think of at the moment. Love to experiment with shooting different targets.

Why? Why not at least he is shooting and having fun.

What a coincidence that out of 61 cans both balls ended up in the same can!

 

[Tumbledown]

Did you refill the tubes with the cans after the first shot, and if so, from which end? The first time, 9 cans were pushed out, the second time it was 16. Yet both balls were in the same can. Was that can in the same position in the tube both times?

If you repeat this experiment, either remove the target and let the cans spill out freely, or seal the end so the cans don't move. That could be a poor man's ballistic gel test for penetration.

Yeah, I'm probably over thinking this...

Fun watching you having fun shooting a flinty. Admire your ambition.

I stuffed the cans back in from the target side. I'm going to try this one again & be more specific next time. That was when my filming was in its infancy days & I didn't overthink these tests very well. I'm looking forward to trying this one this week. !! Thanks...

Same here. And if you're into BP revolvers, Blackie Thomas has a really great series on percussion revolvers with tons of videos.

I agree with you my friend. I spend way more time watching Youtube videos than TV. At least there you can find stuff you like.

Have you ever done a penetration test using, say 50 grains, of the three grades of powder? Should all burn up in a long barrel. You might want to swab after the 1f, though or you might need a tree to set the next ball.....

Great idea......I tried something similar, haven't posted that video yet. I may try that one with 3 powders soon! Thanks for the suggestion.

This was kind of a penetration test but with a lot more imagination.
I hadda watch it a few times.
