New film: How accurate was a tinder lock arquebus from the early 16th century?

Dear All,

We are digging deeper and deeper into the research around early 16th century firearms. We have a repro tinder-lock arquebus based on artefacts found at the battlefield of Mohács 1526, we have late 15th, early 16th century powders, we know the weight of the charge, we know the shape, size and material of the projectiles. So it is now time to test accuracy. Come with us to the range to see how the tinder lock arquebus performed at 50m with variuus 16th century powders.

 

Take care,

Balázs
