Colt Root was used by Polish military.

I've been around guns, hunting and shooting my whole life (74 years) and I'd never heard of a "Colt Root" until you mentioned it in your reply. I had to look it up.
I learned something. Thank you!

This thread has reminded me how much I would love to have a flintlock blunderbuss. As the OP suggested, the ability to make powder, projectile, and ignition from materials available in nature is very cool. A weapon with practically infinite sustainability under the very most primitive of conditions.
