Smoothbore Shooting Thru Barn tin?

[B P Maniac Shooter]

Going back to a little smoothbore shooting against barn tin this week.
Will various size round balls penetrate 16 sheets of barn tin? Details below:
( I'll be back in 2 weeks )

OK, so now I'm wondering how that musket would do going up against an old timey suit of armor?

Hmmm, I don't see armored suits being a very good protector against those big round balls! LOL

Absolutely correct! The musket-category lead balls were deployed specifically to penetrate armored troops. and to knock down horses of mounted cavalry.

Probably not. I was thinking maybe we could find some political "friends" to test it out.

After dropping the rifle and the camera falling over, my wife says " he's really riding the struggle bus today ."

All these warm weather videos are giving me spring fever. Here's and idea for a cold weather video try shooting at a block of ice or frozen water jugs, and don't forget to bundle up, it's currently 2*F here tonight.

Brrr...that's C O L D..!!
It finally made it to freezing here today..1st time in several weeks.
I tried that on a video several years ago and eventually deleted it.
I need to freeze some water and try that soon.
Thanks for the idea...

I believe someone did that test already on YouTube. Right thru steel plate and made shrapnel of chainmail
