History of Powder making USA/CSA
« on: March 19, 2019, 08:57:47 PM »
Just saw this video, great on histor of powder making. Not the technical detail you would have from the Mad Monk but good practical stuff from an Army guy who shoots tanks for a living. Interesting commentary on Civil War tactical effects.

Really a great talk, with much commentary on black powder and world commerce.

When I saw the length of the video I was hesitant to start watching it, I decided to watch just a little to see what the guy had to say, I ended up watching it all. His presentation was very good and I learned a few things I didn't know.
