When I was in Military School there was a crazy guy on my floor who did truly dumb things. I watched him set his face afire one night as he was trying to spit a fire cloud like the magicians. (Only with lighter fluid!) We put him out with a pillow. Not too much damage. Face blistered and eyebrows gone. (Silly-a$$.) However, he could build muzzle loaders! They came out beautifully and he inlayed this German silver, (nickel, I guess.) in the stocks. They were like art!
Did anyone see the Mel Gibson movie, "The Patriot"? If you looked closely, you could see some of those actors turn their heads and close their eyes BEFORE they pulled the trigger on those breech-loaders. I guess a small explosion taking place THAT close to your face made them a little "gun-shy". You could tell who was really a shooter and WHO was not!
Anybody have a breech or muzzle loader in their collection?
