Shooting the Guncotton Cartridge for the M1854 Lorenz

History of Baron von Lenk’s Austrian guncotton cartridge: The first shots in 150 years with the Austrian guncotton cartridge for the Model 1854 Lorenz rifle-musket… at least I think so. If someone else has shot a Lorenz with one of these, let me know! “I can hear the Kaiserhymne in the distance” would have been very strange last words, if the gun would have exploded. Fortunately, it did not, history was (re) made, fun was had, and nerds may rejoice.
