This isn't exactly a question...so there is no way to answer it without know what you are asking about a black powder hand gun. Yes they exist, a flint lock pistol is an example of one, and they are very fun to shoot.
Guns were built in the 1800
10-1000 USD or more depending on specifics.
in new mint condition about 250 dollars
It would be best not to make any assumptions either way. From a safety point of view, certainly you should assume that old black powder is still an explosive, and treat it accordingly. On the other hand, I wouldn't rely on very old black powder actually being useable as a propellant.
A.S.M. is for Armi San Marco, an italian factory making black powder firearms.
were do you live in KY yes long as it a side arm.
Put the glucose powder on your left-hand side and the silver chloride powder on your right-hand side. My goodness, it can be sooo easy!
Its called a chain fire.
There are two kinds of gunpowder, "black powder" and "smokeless powder." I put them in quotes because all gunpowder is black, and all of it smokes when it burns. Both are used in modern warfare. Black powder is primarily used as a delay element in other explosives. If you want to build an explosive device that has a time delay between initiating the explosion and the explosion occurring - hand grenades are a prime example - you put a column of black powder between the initiator and the explosive. Smokeless powder is the propellant in every rifle, shotgun, pistol, shoulder-fired rocket, artillery round, etc., etc., etc., used in the world today.
Not unless it was manufactured prior to 1898 and is classified as an antique.The problem with owning one even then is that under 18 USC, felons are not permitted to possess explosives, and black powder is an explosive. Therefore, even if you lawfully owned a genuine antique, you could not legally poossess the powder to fire it.
To find the age of Pietta guns you would need to know the model and serial number, The blue book of modern black powder values has a section in the back listing manufacture dates based on this. Or let me know the info and I can give you the year made.
