old blackpowder guns

RE: old blackpowder guns
If we consider the longer term running of the gun, which will include the use of blackpowder, then we run into the problems that made large calibre weapons so popular in the past. It's impossible to make blackpowder that produces enough pressure to make sufficient power in a small bore gun. All the old guns were big calibres, it's not until the invention of smokeless propellants that calibres came down.

There are plenty of muzzle loading 12g guns around, but I don't recall ever seeing a .410 using black powder.
