    Default 14th Century triple barrel Chinese Handgonne

    Here is my son with my latest creation. A replica of a 14th century 3 barreled chinese handgonne. .62 caliber old school rapid fire LOL






    Now I need a day off to head to the range and try it out.

    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.

    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.

    THIS POST IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT VIDEO!!!

    Just kidding, but seriously - we need video!

    Is this your first historic firearm build? Can't wait to hear how it fires. Nice work.
