A slow motion video of an 1860 Army replica being fired. Pretty interesting.

Wow! Never realized how much came out of the back--would have thought more fire would come from the cylinder gap. I did capture a Mississippi rifle with flame coming out of the nipple but didn't think the revolver did it.

yep, i thought there would be more gas escaping the barrel/cylinder gap also, must be a tightly fit gun.

Very cool!!

Very informative to see how the flames spread across the revolver.

I've never fired a BP firearm, but always wanted to try.

Now, not so sure...I don't own a Nomex suit.
