Came up during a discussion. I am confident in my loading skills enough to fire a cylinder off underwater (figure of speech) and there are plenty of things you can do to make a cylinder airtight. I would if I could, I wouldn't mind getting a little pocket Remmy to tout around. 5 shots of 70 grains .31 caliber behind 12 grains of powder will do plenty of hurts if you know how to hit it right. I'm not concerned about rust either, if you can maintain a cap n' ball as well as a normal gun you shouldn't be worried.
An odd subject no doubt, I was more sympathetic to actually doing it. My friends have no experience with black powder firearms so of course they protested against it. The biggest problem we came up with was leaving the weapon loaded for weeks or even months. Again I mentioned if you know what your doing it would fire even in years. What do you all think?
