Shooting old guns
"1. I am fascinated by scientific exploration of the shooting of these weapons
2. I am highly cautious because of the aging of metals. "
I agree with both points, but they are not in opposition. They interact - experimental interest must be tempered by feasibility.
However, before I progress to the (literally!) vital question of safety,may I suggest that those still in doubt about the feasibility of firing old guns acquaint themselves with the worldwide activities of the MLAIC.
I would particularly like to draw your attention to the numerous YouTube contributions of
Balázs Németh
who is the MLAIC Member for Hungary. He has seriously tested a greater variety of old guns than the rest of us are ever likely to see, let alone handle. His contributions can be found via
capandball.com
or a direct search.
