Black Powder 31 cal vs 22 LR
This video compares the terminal ballistics of a .31 caliber black powder revolver against a modern .22 LR pistol. While the .22 LR showed greater hydraulic displacement in water jugs, the .31 caliber demonstrated more structural damage to soda cans and watermelons. Despite its surprising effectiveness on certain targets, the black powder revolver's slow loading and reliability issues make it impractical for most modern uses.
