Muzzleloader Design Evolution Part 1: The Handgonnes \ Hand Cannons

This is the first of a series of videos I am doing to show the evolution of the design of the muzzleloader from the 14th century to the 19th century from my collection. This part shows the design of the first firearms called the Handgonne \ Hand Cannon from the 14th and 15th centuries. Also included are the accessories of these arms. You can see my entire collection at my website at http://teleoceras.webs.com/Guns/BP.htm
