Video - Shooting the Colt 1860 Thunderbolt

[duelist1954]

This is a gun I made about 10 years ago by cutting down the barrel of an 1860 Army and fitting it with birdshead grips.

A .45 Colt cartridge cylinder completed the transformation.

Mike,
The view withy the camera at tyhe target is neat! Kinda unnerving to see the business end LOL!
The . Black Powder 45 LC is the most impressive load I have ever seen! They belch so much fire that ya have to be impressed!
Being a C&B BP shooter, I am always amazed at the amount of smoke these guys make! Sorting out an indoor gun battle musthave taken about 15 min to clear up. you'd need to open the doors and windows!
Thanks for showing the video!

A bud of mine did a video (not on Youtube) of a simulated black powder gun fight in a small, kerosene lamp-lit saloon. The first exchange of shots totally filled the room with smoke making it impossible to see anything.
