There’s something about derringers and other small, pocket sized percussion guns that brings me joy. This ones a great shooter with a bare .454 round ball. Muzzle is coned so it swages the ball nicely, forming a perfect fit to the rifling. Just lube the bore after loading.3yr ⋅ bfousnought ⋅ r/blackpowder

How do percussion caps work? This Ignition works based on the sandwich effect of the compound between the nipples top, and the hammer right? What happens when the nipple is out of spec (too short or long)? Does a nipple need a surface for the open end of the cap to rest?2yr ⋅ woodyL1991 ⋅ r/blackpowder
