Just happen to have a few cinder blocks lying around the shed. Time to put the 50 caliber and the 62 caliber flint guns to the test against these cinder blocks using various grades of black powder.

Anyone remember real (original) cinder blocks? They were once very popular. They were made from the cinders left from burning coal. They were probably not as strong as the cement blocks we have today.
yes they were brownish / almost black looking and were very sharp to handle and would cut your fingers if you handled them with out gloves. and they were very porous! remember that was a point & period in time when were a waste not want nation!!!?

Cinder block has been out of favor for 50 years. Too weak. I suspect you are shooting modern CMU's?
summer time/ ROGER THAT MY FRIEND! COME ON!
Neat video. I'm actually a bit surprised at that close range that even the lighter loads you started off with didn't go through both the front and the back. And that one right dead-center in the middle only put a dent in it? That block is tougher than I imagined it would be.
