Shortened 1860 firing in slow motion
I don't know if the guy is right on his timing estimate or not, but it's a pretty interesting little video for 54 seconds.

The wraparound style safety glasses are a MUST for cap & ball shooting. I emphasize WRAPAROUND style. Even a cap or hat and no open front shirts are a good idea. I shoot an 1860. Hot sparks go everywhere.

Caps do put out a lot of sparks. This is a picture I took several years ago of just
a CCI 11 standard cap. |

There's a reason they're called fire arms.

^ Theres also a reason why they're called "percussion" caps!
Those little guys are noisy! I find the crack of just the percussion cap very sharp and unpleasant without ear protection. That's with no powder or ball, just a cap! |

I'm suspicious that he used a 1075 RWS cap. I have noticed that they send a lot more sparks in all directions when fired compared to the Remington #10s.
