A while ago Mrs. K and I got a chance to bring Black Betty (named after the mainframe from Dilbert) out for her first firing. I posted this on SDN but then I remembered there are firearms aficionado's here as well. Please ignore the date, we forgot to put the proper one in before we started.

From here down are the vids I took.

50 grains of powder

100 grains

Fire and smoke!

For the ten rounds we fired, we had four misfires. Two due to the flint breaking and two due to the Triple 7 pellets failing to ignite, a switch to using Triple 7 powder rectified it.
