Great stuff, Michl !!!
I am learning; thanks for that  Clod shot ... new to me, i confess  . You don't happen to have yourself a spare specimen for your friend here ?  BTW, i am amazed with the "machine guns", although it comes to mind that these devices should have neen highly susceptible of hazardous results  .

These are the only two I kept. I had some more but gave them all away long ago. They sometimes are dug up in Germany and when I see the next one it will be yours! Best, Michl |

They are quite similar to that slugs fired from shotguns (Flintenlaufgeschosse) anyway.

Oh yes, the guy on the left!
I don't actually think he is drilling a hole in the clod shot; this whole is already there. I believe that he shows the loading process of those superimposed loads in the barrel, one above the other: powder and clod shot, and so on. As the clods have central holes there is a chain reaction once the foremost load has been ignited. Best, Michael |
