This experiment tests the functionality of modern firearms like the AR-15, AK-47, Glock 17, and 1911 when loaded with black powder. Results show that while they can fire, reliability is severely compromised due to fouling and insufficient energy. Black powder produces significantly less velocity and requires immediate, extensive cleaning to prevent jams and corrosion.
This review of the Taurus PT111 G2 highlights its performance during a range test, covering approximately 150 rounds. The firearm demonstrated reliability, feeding, firing, and ejecting consistently. The instructor found it to be a good carry option with impressive performance, especially considering its average store price.
