Post Apocalyptic Gunpowder Scavenging. Will it work in a Flintlock Pistol?!

@Slingshotchannel 2 years ago

Extremely cool! I was truly excited to see what one gram of matchstick powder can do... imagine using 5 times as much! Clearly, gun control is futile. On another note, I am so happy that you will soon start selling the Adder and the Fenris in the UK. This will be a win-win-win, so many people from the UK ordered from us directly and had to play customs roulette afterwards.

There are reloading kits for .22rimfire that use match heads for primer powder(paste with alcohol then allow to dry after pressing into rim with provided tool) and also give a charge weight for different match head loads.

Ah, so that is why Jorge and you got in touch, well for sure don't mind seeing good quality products to grow on market, thank you.

Ha ha ha, that takes me back. Nearly got killed by match heads when I was about 11 or 12.

When I was a kid we used to saw the end off CO2 cartridges and fill with match heads and launch out of an iron pipe. They would go through a car door (when they were real thick back in the 60’s). It was always scary as we used match heads lined up in masking tape for fuses which didn’t always work. It was fun but dangerous. They never exploded but there was the potential for it to happen. We were young and dumb but had a healthy fear of what might happen.

Think the lack of primers etc should not be a big problem for creative gunsmiths. You can easily make a spark with a capacitor, switch and a coil. Guns were developed before we had a good understanding of electricity. Guns work. So why change them? A zombie apocalypse might inspire change.

We used to take Bangers apart for the guts when we were kids, even had a muzzle load air rifle with a hole for the fuse. It worked surprisingly well. Very smoky.

Very good! Really happy to see some field expedient examples worked out. Hero status~

An excellent video thanks, I guess it shows that how badly the opponent is injured depends on good powder burn. Maybe you could do a similar one where you provide some projectile statistics on each formula.

Hey Dude, I´ve been told to watch your test by Jörg Sprave. And I must demand, I am really impressed! What a nice experience!

Great video! I thought about this for the Dr. Stone anime also and I think post apocalypse I'd make grenades. I'd probably rather have a bow for hunting than a flintlock and grenades are a much more devastating and efficient use of powder. And if you accidentally scavenger flash powder, it doesn't really matter if you put it in a grenade because you wanted it to explode.

I'm watching this video again after seeing it for the first time when it came out. I'm sure you're busy working with GoGun but if you made more videos I think they'd be really popular!

Bow and arrows /crossbow are a better way to go .Faster to fire than muzzle loaders,quet,arrows and bow can be made of wood,arrowheads are easy to make out of scrap steel-all you need is a hammer and fire pit with some source of air,like hand cranked blower or bellows,you can make charcoal super easy with 2 barrel drums.Fletchings can be made of anything.From paper,feathers,steel. . .Another amazing weapon that nobody speaks of is a spear.
