The magical handgonne was the first firearms that could be carried and operated by one single soldier, therefore it is the grandmother of all pistols, carbines and rifles we use today. They mark the beginning of a new era in warfare lasting even today.
In this chapter capandball is going after an interesting method for charging the handgonne, turning it to a repeating arm, following 15th and 16th century primary sources. We’ll find out weather the superimposed loads worked or not, and how effective they were.
Follow him on this experiment. The first chapter is already accessible on Patreon, and will be published on youtube on 11th October 2024, 13:00 PM Central European Time. Until then, stay cool and keep your powder dry.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
