.50 Raufoss bullet fired from a musket.

Anyone up for an anti-tank musket?

>>30600723
What use would any loyal subject of the crown have for a musket that can pierce a fort?

You should be able to fire a .50 cal bulket from a musket with a .50 cal bore, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. It just won't go that fast

>>30600929
he fancies he may sink one of his majesty's fourth-rates directly and individually! hah! to think one might topple the crown all by his lonesome, shot by shot!

>>30600723
It'd be easier just to slap a .50 cal upper onto a AR-15 lower.

Percussion rifles (modern ones) use PYRODEX, which isn't as powerful as smokeless powder, and to get that power you might break the barrel.

If the musket was unrifled, the bullet would just tumble everywhere, and you wouldn't be able to hit shit.
If it was rifled, muskets usually have a very slow twist, and it's unlikely that such a long projectile would stabilize properly.

pst

buy a barret

>>30600929
What use does any gentleman have for a firearm when you can simply end him rightly with the pommel of your sword?

>>30602276
Why not just order the barrel off a barret and put it into the musket stock?

Uh duh, you rifle the slugs. We don't live in the 1800's anymore.

One does not simply rifle a raufoss.

Sure

You'd need a faster twist than normal, but that's ok; custom barrel

You wouldn't get much velocity, but I'm sure it'll be high enough to set off the mixture

>>30600723
Do you mean pull the bullets? Then get your muzzle load on? If so, look up effective ranges for said rounds. From there you should be able to extrapolate usable velocity for each individual bullet. Backtrack for muzzle velocity related to your setup.

The real question is how can you pull raufoss slugs? Collets make sense. Don't want to blow your hands/face off before you even get loaded. Hammering out impact detonated explosives, seems risky. Doesn't matter if you can't push them fast enough.

For all of the above. IV8888 fired more than one 50bmg from an hr single shot 12 gauge. Are the zombie hordes upon you? Slap that 50 in a 12, and drop the hammer. Good luck holding onto it.

>>30602276
If you weren't pushing the original intended velocity, you wouldn't need the same twist to stabilize.

Slower forward progress, slower rifling twist. Same stability. It might have "rainbow" trajectory. But, nobody shoots that far anyway.

3030 will bust your ass, at 600. The bazillion feet of drop at that range. Puts it out of most people's minds as being effective.

Go look at 45-70 ballistics. Then think about guys dropping buffalo at 1200-1600 yards. First round hits with iron sights.

It's out there if you look hard enough. Nothing wrong with lobbing for hits. They all lob the same way.

Blackpowder raufoss when?
