I would like to ask folks who have a working knowledge of firearms about old style flintlock/percussion cap weapons. Granted that these weapons will be antiques, but is it the age of the gun that would make it dangerous, or the condition of the barrel etc. Does the fact that they are old mean that they can't be shot due to the metal deteriorating through age, or is it really down to condition?
