Скачать или смотреть Traditional loading of a northwest trade gun.

The video starts with me holding my Pedersoli northwest Trade gun and explaining its features, including the flintlock ignition system and the smoothbore barrel. Then, I load the gun with powder and shot, using a powder measure and a shot flask.

After loading, I prime the pan and prepare to shoot. I shoulder the gun and take aim at a target downrange. As I pull the trigger, the flint strikes the frizzen and ignites the powder, sending a burst of flame down the touchhole and into the main charge.

The camera captures the muzzle flash and smoke as the shot leaves the barrel and hits the target with a satisfying thud. I then open the gun and show the empty chamber, demonstrating the safe handling of black powder firearms.

The video ends with a brief overview of the importance of safety when handling and shooting muzzleloading firearms.
