Pics of muzzle flash

LOL. What? You dont use "low flash" BP? :p

I have an old 1851 Navy copy. I dont shoot it a whole lot anymore, but when I do, I shoot it pretty much as youre doing there. They point very naturally and amazingly well and good hits with them seem almost effortless.

Of course, you have to wait 5 minutes for the smoke to clear to see how you did, but you usually do pretty good. :D

Me too!
@Bill Raby , how often to you shoot your 4bore? I am fascinated by truly big bore rifles. Been contemplating something bigger than 50 cal for years, but don't have many opportunities to actually play with truly heavy stuff. If you can get a picture or video of a shot, we'd all love to see it!
 
Those are cool images, I like how the black powder flash sort of “rolls” down range rather than having the violent flashbulb of smokeless powder.

This isn’t from a handgun, but of all the muzzle flash images I have taken it is one of my favorites.

Stay safe.
 
What kind of "flash additives" are you boys all using? :)

About the only thing I can remember getting any kind of fireball out of, was my AK with a 14" barrel and a 74 type brake on it. The brake was just a straight brake, and not one of the ones with flash suppression.

Even my AR shorties were basically flashless, but they did have AAC Blackout flash suppressor mounts on them. Those work great, with any barrel length and caliber.

I searched for an older thread but couldn’t find one. Anyway here are some screen grabs of my ASM 3ish-inch 1860 with only 20 grains of fffg. Thought some might be interested.

Yup. That looks like a real muzzle flash.

High speed cameras do a wonderful job with those, too. I don't have one...

Years ago I shot in a night match where a young man had a nickeled Colt Python and shot full charge .357 Magnum loads. In the dark, every time he fired, his revolver and hand disappeared about halfway up his forearms in the flash. Wish I'd had a high speed camera then, too.

185 grainers over any book value of WIN-296 are beyond ridiculous out of my 4" Redhawk.

Lost the photos, but the muzzle flash is about 6' long and 3' Wide. And this was fired with medium amount of daylight. In the dark I'd worry about being blinded or seeing stars or the "worms" ...permanently.
