Would have been great to have for my X's boytoy sneaking in the house.They were not meant to kill a trespasser but to main the person with many dying later from gangrene no doubt some would has lost their manhood .
Don't they have a paper disc in the cap that is best removed??Back in the 70's i used the plastic caps on a derringer I had. They worked fine. I tried again about 10 years ago and could not get them to ignite my rifle.
Yes, I have and I have found that if you add a small pinch of fine powder into the nipple you will get about 90% ignition.View attachment 114630
I went to the fithops.com site after seeing the earlier image and found these. SO, have any of you tried using these as priming caps on percussion guns? They're selling 3 packs of these for $5 and they're plastic, so they may stretch and hold onto percussion nipples better. I'm curious to hear any results.
