Matchlock Project Part 1 (COL001)

in #dtube • 5 years ago

The Idahoan Show is collaborating with the Slingshot Channel to build a match-lock muzzleloader. Not the historical type, but one that strikes a safety match when you pull the trigger. In this video, the Idahoan assembles the basic muzzleloading carbine to which the match lock will later be attached.

        Hahaha., Sorry for my ignorance. After watching your video and the difficult part of making the bits I was having no other option to know what exactly the match lock loading system is and I found out this.

        The matchlock was the first mechanism invented to facilitate the firing of a hand-held firearm. .... historians noted that, along with slingshots, matchlock rifle weapons were used by the elderly for self-defense and by the militaries of the Ras.

        Among the numerous music videos, photo related blogs this stands out different, so I enjoyed it, But one suggestion though that form next time you could add some lines along with the video to tell the readers what exactly is about it.

        Thank you, Cheers

          This was pretty cool, I don't know if that test went well tho, if you use a regular bullet instead of the extra heavy one you used the recoil would be less aggressive? Either way, the final result is really beautiful, thanks for sharing!
