Gun Porn

A camera on a gun to catch criminals. From 1934. Are there any modern gun cameras? I’m sure there’s a Go Pro mount.

Oops: Using the wrong powder.

It seems that no matter how many black powder guns are blown up with smokeless powder, and shown on Youtube and elsewhere, people will keep doing it.

Ask the Confederate artillery gunners who were experimenting with gun cotton (nitro cellulose) during the Civil War. This practice of blowing up BP guns with nitro started even before smokeless powder became widely available, and I suppose it will never stop.

The temptation is just too great I guess. That and the often overblown emphasis on “safety”, which has become part of our culture, is bound to result in some backlash against it (the cry wolf syndrome);
“I’ve stood on the top steps of ladders lots of times, and ran with scissors, and ridden a bicycle without a helmet, so why shouldn’t I load smokeless into my percussion revolver?”

Physics are a bitch.

Yeah, there are lots of mounts. There has been a GoPro rail mount for a few years. They’re more popular with the airsoft crowd. There’s even mounts to put a camera in-line with the scope, so the camera sees what the eye would see. Pretty cool.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
