2 pounders are small

ATF still considers it a destructive device...for some reason

What are you talking about

Just smash the primer

Cannon

You'll be fine.

<:PepestanPepeThink:485159011373678613>

but does it fire APFSDS tho

@Duke of Mecklenburg not if you use black powder <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

Oh ya

Black power 50 MG...when?

Gun laws scare and confuse me

There's black powder .50 you just have to have it special made. I own an old Springfield Allin conversion. That's a .66 musket bored to .50 with a breach welded in. They made a bunch of them in the civil war. I have to buy a .50 black powder every year or so to make sure it still goes bang.

My dad has a .50 barrett M99...And I reload...he has a .50 dieset and all that...I could load em myself

I already used to load 11mm Mauser blackpowder

If its 50BMG cartridge with black powder

Which I saw on youtube

They just take 50 brass and use a blackpowder load, for custom gatling gun

Ah no it's not a BMG. It is rifled but it's more like an oversized 30-30.

Breech loaders were considered high-tech in the 1800s.

I mean she's an old goat but she's been with the family for 4 generations so I try to take care of her. Mostly she's a wall-hanger but I take her out for a dance every year or two.

Oh...so basically an old conventional blackpowder round

Black powder rifles are already 50cal though lol

Most blackpowder era rounds were .40+ in caliber

I've got a .55 upstairs

Because they couldnt produce the energy to make smaller cal rounds fast enough

@Duke of Mecklenburg Umm

Most people would have made their own shot over a campfire

Which is why we see 11mm blackpowder rounds get replaced by 8mm smokeless

I'm talking in the post muzzle loader, pre Smokeless era

Around 1860-1888

Ahh, gotcha.

I'm a pre-1840s nerd so lol

Metallic blackpowder cartridges like my 11mm mauser

The Kentucky longrifle was usually around .36 cal

Rifles seemed to be smaller cal than muskets for the most part

I've got a 50cal Kentucky

Yeah like I said the previous Springfeilds were all in .66

54in from butt to muzzle

Like line infantrymen would use a .58 cal ball in a musket, and jaegers would use .36-38 cal in a rifled barrel

I'm speaking of as an example
