Does anyone know how powerful a .50 Deringer is, with a barrel length about 3”? I’ve searched for velocity data but can’t find any information about the Deringers.

The issue I face is that I can’t mount a perpendicular support at the top, because it get infront of the mechanism that’s manipulated by the thumb, like a hammer. I can solve that by putting the barrels at the bottom similar to this...

The width of the plate is 0.78 inch and the weight of each barrel is 7-10 ounces (don’t know exactly yet). The weight of the projectile is 230 grains.

Kind of, I’m working on a project with multiple barrels where some barrels will have to be supported only by a steel plate like this. It’s basically a flat pepperbox. It’s somewhat similar to a revolver without a top strap, like the colt walker.

No, I’m shooting from the barrel. I’m curious about the recoil the barrel will generate in a setup like this. If the steel will bend instantly, overtime or not at all if the plate is thick enough. The barrel is a solid piece, with a closed breach. Here’s a better explanation:

How thick does a mild steel plate need to be in order to withstand the recoil from a .454 casull, a shotgun slug, a musket or a rifle cartridge, without support? This picture explains the concept: The barrel (grey) is attached to the steel plate (black), and the steel plate is attached to...

Hello, by accident I loaded my muzzleloader twice (i.e. from the breech powder, ball, powder, ball) so now I wounder, how do I solve this problem? How can I extract the extra ball out of the barrel?
