    Here are a few more, and a enlargement of the How Damascus gun barrels are made.

    In the how gun barrels burst add, I think the part that says,

    "Nitro powder should only be used by people familiar with it: and dense nitro powder should be
    weighed by an apothecary's scale and not measured."

    Is more than likely the reason a lot of barrels burst back then.

    Drew I will send you a email tonight.
