Hi, folks. This video (http://www.bsg-dornier.de/schiessen/filme/hsp/vorderlader2.mpg) is a great demonstration (in slow motion) of the ignition delay in firing a flintlock black-powder firearm. Thought you might enjoy it.

Anybody get this to run? I had a few control buttons but no sound, no pic and now my speakers are silent.

Gary, there is no sound - but it runs fine for me in Windows Media Player.

Great clip Preacherman .. doubt matchlock much different for speed either!!
As the flame develops and smoke too .. I keep imagining the stench!! Not to mention some target obscurement! :D

Nice video-thanks!
That's neat to watch the chunks of burning frizzen glow for a second before the powder goes off.
