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.

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.
