Rubber buckshot

[Spitpatch]

My Dad got one of the early "Navy Arms" /Uberti Colt's Navy model percussion pistols and we took it with us on a Pheasant hunt, and after bird hunting we learned to load it and shoot it.

There was an old rear axle of a Model A in the grass near our pickup and Dad shot a .375 round ball at the old, skinny, cracked tire on the spoked wheel.

It came back Return to Sender and smacked Dad in the shoulder hard enough that he reacted like he'd been actually shot. An easy eyeball destroyer.

Go full-pull and opt for the pliers of compunction.

I wonder if you could shoot a bouncy ball out of a big musket.

Wham-O baby!

I wonder if you could shoot a bouncy ball out of a big musket.

I have often wondered that myself....
Two things have stopped me....the thought of melted plastic / rubber in my bore...*
And the sighting issue of a super light projectile ...well super light when compared to a lead round ball.
Andy

*Or....a flaming rubber ball launched out...and setting the forest on fire....

Zectron over Zytel. A match made in the 60s

I'd like to hear from someone who had the gonadal fortitude to blast a sea lion with rubber buckshot in front of fish and game.

I have visons of that rubber ball attached to a wooden paddle, with you as the paddle.
