What was the muzzle velocity of an early 16th century arquebus

This video shows the process of determinating the muzzle velocity of the early 16th century arquebus, based on recreating each elements of the original charge. It’s all about battlefield archaeology, written primary sources, making early 16th century gunpowders, recreating bullet alloys, setting powder charges. Pretty much the summary where our research about the firearms of the battle of Mohács 1526 is at now.
