Shooting a Charleville with paper cartridges

[duelist1954]

I put this together today. These are older clips, since my land is still inaccessible, and I'm getting cabin fever.

This is a little military musket work with paper cartridges.

I know it is way too basic for you all on this forum, but, it is always fun to watch the smoke fly.

Not basic at all, very COOL though!

I want to get a Brown Bess soon. Nothing like lobbing a .75 caliber lead sphere moving at 1000 FPS to get someone's attention!!!

Mike I wanted to see the video but all I'm getting is the "404 Not Found" message.

Same results as Bishop is getting . . . .

Wonder what Marten and Fackler have to say about the 1-shot stop potential of a .75 lead round ball??

Poor perforated Paper Pete. Why didn't you bayonet him in the end like they did in real battles?

Well, that was interesting, a lot quicker than loading my flintlock rifle. Might have to get a musket.
