Bravo!... That pistol has some report! 60grs! Wow. It's interesting to see how much of a "event" happens at the lock upon firing... Lots of sparks. Might this be due to a somewhat larger flash hole left over from the flintlock version of the weapon and the resulting escape of gas? You have certainly made another fantastic video. Excellent method of making the priming tubes. Great dedication to the history. Hat's off.

+britishmuzzleloaders The flash hole is not larger than the hole on a musket nipple. I think that the flash you see is caused by the larger amount of ifnition powder. 2 times more than in a regular musket cap.

I look forward to seeing more. Oh How I would like to meet up during one of my European travels. thanks for the work and great videos.

In one of his last videos he cover a stacked percussion design. It had several locks that fired from a single barrel. Both, this and Forgotten Weapons, are a treat and compliment each other.

You got me so inspired with this video that I ended up hunting down a M1842 Musket with original tube lock system. Had to get it in Europe since they are almost impossible to find in the US due to all of them being converted to percussion during or before their importation in the 1860s. Looking forward to making these tubes! Thank You

You did much better this time than in your Augustin vs Lorenz pistol video. Its kind of a wonder why the tubelock never caught on, though bearing in mind that percussion cap guns were very shortlived. Here in the states, the first military rifle to use caplock systems was in 1842 and there were already cartridge arms by 1862.

When I was a kid, I used to "reload" ammo using home made black powder. I reloaded the primers with cap pistol powder which I mixed with water. I put a disk of paper from a paper punch over the priming and pushed the anvil in. We tried to find bullets that were not to badly damaged. Also, I reloaded .22 rimfire cartridges by painting the inside of the rim with wet cap powder. When it dried, the home made black powder and a recovered .22 bullet. Instead of reloading dies, pliers were used to crimp the mouth oc the shell.

Frankly that tube lock system seems cleaner than the cap and nipple arrangement. Rather than having a frizzen, it could have had a spring hold the tube in place by friction. Thus the user could shove a tube in with rough movements rather than fiddle a small cap onto and off of a nipple. This strikes me as a lot simpler to do under stress, by feel. I wonder why it did not gain more popularity.

+GunFun ZS Cost. Creating those tubes by machine wouldn't be much fun (then, now it'd be different). Also, those tubes use a lot more brass than the little tubes do. Final item, notice how much more complicated the tube lock is. By comparison a percussion cap on a nipple struck by a hammer is pretty simple mechanically. Something we modern folks tend to forget is at that time labor was cheap and technology was expensive. It sounds weird but it was true.

@SuperWasweissichdenn 8 жыл бұрын
the tubes work pretty good with armstrong mixture, also APEX-wool (compound of nitrocellulosis and apex ingredients) works good and in opposite to toy caps and armstrong mix it does not lead to bad corrosion. I know someone formerly making copper foil tubes with mercury fulminate but he stopped doing it since it was too poisonous.

Looks quite complicated,and a little delicate compared to a standard percussion lock.Also how was it easier to train troops to use this compared to a percussion lock? Seriously curious about this!
@mnk9073
@mnk9073 7 жыл бұрын
Percussion caps are quite small and therefor very difficult to reload under combat stress or on a moving horse. This system offered a more "militia-friendly" alternative; the percussion tube was attached to the cartridge preventing soldiers from loosing one or the other part and saving reload time, the bigger parts reduced fumbling and the conversion allowed the soldiers to use the guns they were already familiar with. Also keep in mind that in military matters the Habsburg Monarchy wasn't the best judge of what was and was not practical.
