Not the original battle ... just a re-enactment ... lol

Great shots Paul (pun intended). Love the guy in #1 who is looking in the opposite direction to where he is shooting. I assume to avoid the powder flash.

Something different and interesting Paul. Great atmosphere with the smoke and flame.

[Isac]

Damn!! I thought it was real
Wonderful shots.

[Rebel06 Paul]

Still dangerous though ... One chap had to be taken away with a gaping head wound.

nice couple of shots here.............
black powder makes it possible to pull this sort of thing off (and add a level of interest too.
with smokeless, and modern arms it is just a bunch of blokes pointing weapons in generally the same direction

Spectacular, shame photos can't bring the smell too, though I think I can imagine it...:-)

That's a lot of fun. Very colourfull and full of action. I suppose they put the wadding in to keep the powder in place. That obviously will come out with some force so you wouldn't want to be aiming it at people.
