When you think about it, it's probably fairly soft shooting. Hell, 90% of the powder will ignite outside the muzzle. Hell of a fireball though.

Read the factory sugguested loading , and watch the linked ( at mfg website) video with extensive chrono testing .
Factory sugguested load is 40gr FFG w/ 1/2 oz shot . Recoil is minimal , velocity is slower than spit , under 300fps .
In the video , loads of up to 125grs of powder do get some recoil .
If I had one, and wished a social loading , the sweet spot is probably Round Ball , with 50gr FFFG , for 566fps .
My other thought - This would be a lot more worthwhile with 8 or 10in bbl than 6in .

Yes, old wise one, I will not.

See the jump-cut? I bet the first effort, the gun flew out of his hands! Lol
I'd have to try it, once

F-notso-NG-anymore
I'm kinda intrigued. Probably the most useless firearm that I suddenly want.

In the old days, it was called a blunderbuss

Everybody gotta have a pirate gun!
Just to have one shipped to your door, is a big F and a big U to the gun grabbers in the MGA.

No , an actual Blunderbuss would be practical by comparison . ( 12- 16in bbl, and a stock ). The Howda pistol introduced a few years ago would be much closer to useful . ( SxS , 12in bbl, either 20ga x 20ga, or 20ga x .50 or .50 x .50)
Or a Kathleen DuMais special .

A howdah BP pistol would be cool if it wasn't so damned expensive.
