Preliminary shooting tests were conducted to evaluate the target construction in preparation for further penetration tests using an early 16th-century tinder-lock arquebus. As the plates used are merely heat-treated, low-carbon modern rolled steel plates of 1.5 mm thickness, this cannot yet be considered an authentic penetration test. The final tests will be carried out using plates forged from bloomery iron. These plates will be manufactured and heat treated according to the results of archaeometallurgical examinations of two early 16th-century armour components.

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. 😉
