fandango Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just love it,, I feel I am living in the wrong country. Was a bit of a tradition on New Year’s Eve at my house to fire off a few shots out off with the 4 bores (black powder) at midnight.... “i live remotely, so no problem” also it was usually one of the neighbours who got elected to take the shots..... better than fire works and a good laugh.... note:- no shot was loaded in the guns.

No bullets in guns, so bystanders are safe, biggest risk is to shooter if they over charge and gun is damaged. Lots of 'fun' happened (and in certain company stil happens) before the PC, Health and safety crowd took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away from face position is due to the large charges. Most people use correct amount of powder nowadays but it’s kinda like a traditional thing. But yes people do shoulder them. Cap and ball pistols are also popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is always that one idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
