BP Blanks - The Firearms Forum

The thread re chain fires had piqued my interest about BP revolver blanks.

I observed a chain fire a couple years ago at a WBTS re-enactment...They were using blanks, of course. The guys hand and revolver dissapeard in a bright orange flash and cloud of white smoke...He got a surprised look on his face before holstering and got back in the 'fight' with his second pistol rather quickly...

I never thought to ask one of the re-enactors how they loaded their revolver blanks to minimize cross firing...in most instances anyway..

Anyone know the answer..??
