Nitrocellulose , Homemade Matchlock gun , and APNC

Making nitrocellulose, lighting some of it, and firing some from my homemade matchlock rifle/carbine/gun. Then setting off some APNC by hitting it with a hammer and by taping it to an arrow and throwing it at the ground.

can you make a video on your trigger mec

[JaycubL]

@rootbeerfilms1001 The exact mechanism is not important, look at any video or article describing how a matchlock works. You just need some way of holding a smoldering string and moving it into the flashpan when ready to fire.

nice gun. just my two sense, use ring clamps instead of zipties. you can find them for about a buck at the hardware store. (there stronger and look better)

[JaycubL]

@proudNRAmember Ya thanks for the tip, that would be better. That gun has a napkin stuck in the barrel and will not be used again though.

Did you make your barrel? If not, where did you get it?

[JaycubL]

@MrBagginsEsq It is a 3/8" diameter aluminum tube. I smashed one end shut with JB weld in the seal, and drilled a flash hole. It's not such a good barrel and if you want a serious one without the risk of explosion use a steel tube that has no weld line and has a wall thickness of 1/8"+, look in the plumbing section of you local hardware store. Or you could get a steel rod and drill a barrel yourself but that takes a long time and you need a lathe.

@laurencefeliciano In fact you are a shit gay bitch...it works just fine i know that...GUESS why???Because i am a gunsmith mother fucker!!!His muzzleloading matchlock musket rifle or whatever you want to call it works just fine i see it he just needs to change a bit the trigger mechanism (in my opinion it is a bit dangerous) but its fine motherfucker!!!I believe you say these things just because you cant make what he made...you are just a piece of rubbish...

[Northhunt]

Thanks! the part about the HNo3 pat really helped me! What pureness did you get? (you got the exact same morter as me;lol;-)

10mm from the end of 80mm. 4mm hole through one side and only for the half the other...

then screw a 4mm bolt in the hole and saw off the head. Now you can place the toy caps right

on the 4mm sawn off bolt...the rest is also easy. But always make it strong, because it is

dangerous shit and no toy !!

[18Maart1915Gallipoli]

Thanx for the video but...if i were you, i make the gun a whole lot stronger !

You make it look like it's no big deal, but you could get seriously hurt...that's dangerous

stuff !...please be more careful and make your guns stronger...because i made them

myself in the past, but i used black powder and toy gun blast caps...aluminum drilled barrel,

15mm by 15mm and 100mm long and calibre 8mm led balls !! You know what i mean ?

100mm total length and drilled for 80mm only, 4mm hole from above at
