Black Powder AR15

[grasshopperglock]

Below is video of a gentleman using black powder verses smokeless. He talks a bit too much but there's always fast forward. He has a chronograph going showing velocities.

LOL!!!! If I ever quit laughing, I'll play the video.

Stupid

Sure is a rough crowd.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I should have put this in Survival. Because if the supply of Smokeless powder stops. I suspect a bunch of folks are going to be making and using black powder in all types of stuff.

I know I would.

Well he proved that black powder will shoot in an AR platform but doesn't cycle the action. A mag fed bolt action would definitely be a better choice under those circumstances. I watched and enjoyed that TV series (Revolution). A battery powered red dot wouldn't be functional either. There was no electricity at all, not even battery power.

I thought I was going to love it but it was too frustrating.

• Guns are outlawed on penalty of death yet no one uses a suppressor. Several people get caught with guns because the sound of shooting brought the bad guys to them.
• The sword fights were laughable. I couldn't count the number of times I thought "One cut! Right there! Your opponent left themselves open long enough that even I could have stuck 'em with the pointy end! The fight should be over!"

When a TV program makes me yell at the screen, I give it up.

Or if you still want an AR pattern, there are the pumps from Troy.

Do you want me to move the thread?

Do you want me to move the thread?

Please. It's being interpreted different then intended.

Will be done in a minute. Will also leave redirects for folks following.

ETA - Done.

 

[grasshopperglock]

Now only if someone can come up with a way to adapt the gas system to resist the power fouling of black powder. It can be done.

I'd like to see it performed with a piston system.


If some broke prick communist can come up with the design of the AK. Somebody in the states has to know how to make a gas blow back semi automatic rifle function on homemade or store bought black powder.

That would be a fascinating project. Seriously.

A larger gas port and gas tube would do it. The hardest thing I would think is keeping the port cleaned out. But that is doable as well. A cutout in the top rail and removable plugs on the front and top of the gas block would take care of that.
I would think a direct blow back would be much easier to do though.

Blowback would be the way to go.

Gas port would be useless.
