Many years ago (in the 70s) my dad built a percussion cap muzzle loader from a kit. I had an uncle that lived in the booneys. One time we visited my uncle and dad took the rifle. They loaded it up and fired it. It scared the hell out of me (I think I was probably 5-7). I remember 2 things, a huge boom, and that my dad was completely engulfed by a cloud of smoke.
