Well I tend to recommend all my bad ideas to @B P Maniac Shooter to try out for me
I get what your are saying, but teaching new shooters they can improvise/put whatever they can think of (I know this is not you) down a gun barrel, in my eyes is not a good idea. I have happily taken quite a few new shooters/kids to the range, where they are learning what you should do. In the safety of our kitchen, in the same mindset of what you are thinking...I admit to showing a few young kids how a flintlock was loaded with black pepper and a filbert nut. Needless to say, they knew it wouldnt go boom.
Yes, as long as they have enough windage for a thicker than cloth greased leather patch.
I have just found that there is quite the difference in the impression made between no boom, and boom and a reactive target actually being hit. The father, a non-shooter, knew the boys wanted to shoot a gun and we were able to do that and not ignore the mother’s irrational rules. As a follow up, both boys have now received the Scout’s Rifle and Shotgun Merit Badge. and I don’t believe mom found out until after the fact. Kind of a don’t ask don’t tell or maybe a Sargent Schultz thing if I had to guess. Don’t know if they would have started down that path with a gun loaded with pepper, though just speculation on my part.
That would be cool if their were two of me.
Don't worry, that fella is just another brick in the wall
Good un!I have always wondered what happened to your marbles.
No problem jam a steel rod down bore and shatter the glass. No more stuck ball.
A steel ball although lighter than lead does not deform like lead so does indeed still penetrate well.
I always recommend knitting to them.
