    idea

    had a thought after seeing the homemade gun in japan, what do you think of putting a model rocket igniter in the flash hole of a flinter. do you think it would work, how about accuracy. i know, really not much benefit as its so easy to make powder but it has intrigued me.
    if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead

    The rocket igniter can be made to work on both Flinters and percussion.
    It will be a chore to change it out between shots.
    And they are not always a instant fire when you put the electricity to them.
    They work fine for rockets.
    But I see no advantage to using them in a gun.
    Plus they may run up the cost of shooting.
    But get a Federal Permit and make a bazooka.
    Those rocket igniters might work good on a BP cannon.
