I have an old teppo, 130 cm long, 12.5 mm bore, I use .480 round ball with patch, I guarantee that when I shoot I am always afraid. Black powder and fuse do not get along...... and I recommend that you use glasses to protect yourself. Ciao, saluti da Milano
Glasses are very good for your safety but if you take part in a public reenactment show glasses are not allowed. Then it is your own risk… Ciao from Germany
@@thehessian7622OK, me too, when I was young I also did historical re-enactment, Austrians against Piedmontese, but I was shooting with my Infanteriegewehr Lorenz mod. 1854, less dangerous weapon than a matchlock or stone rifle. Ciao

You're supposed to pee on the match before you light it. Not the otherway around.
