Yeah, a walking boom stick.
What grain black powder and how much do you use to fire it off?

60 to 90 grs of 2F will work. I use a slow match to set her off.

All yours, or done from a kit? I would love one of those. Very nice!
Re: 14th Century triple barrel Chinese Handgonne
I made it out of scraps I had in my workshop.
Re: 14th Century triple barrel Chinese Handgonne
So did they call it a "Handgonne" because after the initial use most of the hands were gone?
Seriously, very cool. I'm always amazed at what the ancient firearms looked like, very different than what we're accustomed to today.
Make sure you record a video, I know I'd like to see it in action.

Just kidding, but seriously - we need video!
Is this your first historic firearm build? Can't wait to hear how it fires. Nice work.
