This video tests the reliability of percussion revolvers and flintlocks in simulated heavy rain. While percussion systems offer an improvement over flintlocks, both proved highly unreliable in wet conditions, with frequent misfires due to water contamination of the ignition source. The tests highlight the limitations of these designs and the historical necessity for metallic cartridges.
This video conducts a "win/fail" water test on a Plano Field Box, evaluating its water resistance against simulated rain and full submersion. The test aims to determine if the box is waterproof or merely water-resistant.
