Went shooting New Year's Day with a bunch of guys and their kids. Shooting machine guns and semi's.
Every one was packing up after 3 hours and I decided to pull out my Harper's Ferry flint pistol.
The kids got all excited, mentioning Johnny Depp (from 'Pirates of the Carribean' movie). They seemed more excited about shooting the black powder flint pistol than when I let them shoot my full-auto AK-47. Have had the same response from a previous 4th of July full-auto shoot when I let the teenagers shoot my original 1817 US Springfield flint .69 cal. musket.
