I'll start with the disclaimer these guys specialize in high-speed footage of firearms and are NOT black powder shooters. Some of their terminology and descriptions of the firearms are incorrect. They did however seem to be very surprised and impressed with BP fire arms. That being said, it's some of the clearest, detailed slow motion video I've seen to date, really shows the ignition process.. The biggest thing I noticed was that the flints were dull and very few sparks came off which slowed ignition of the pan powder. They also used a 30 grain charge for the pistol and you can see how much powder is wasted with a long stream of fire coming out the muzzle after the ball exits the muzzle. I'm sure some will hate it but some of you might find it interesting like I did. Carry on.
