What is a black powder weapon?

Black powder guns are pistols, revolvers, shotguns or rifles manufactured before 1885. They are treated as collector’s items. You do not need a permit to buy such a weapon, you do not need to register it, and you can even order a pistol or rifle online. It is enough to be over 18 years old. – It’s a front-loading or rear-loading gun with bullet or gunpowder. It is as dangerous as today’s pistols, and you can even say that it is even more – explains Jerzy Dziewulski (78). Why? – Such a weapon is very difficult to shoot accurately. By targeting, for example, the legs, you can shoot in the chest, and by targeting the chest, you can hit the head. Especially when a person shoots who is not trained in shooting – he adds.
