You know one of the best things to clean out muzzleloader slop?

boiling water really yeah that's how they used to uh that was standard procedure to clean a muzzleloader like civil war era you'd boil a pot of water around the campfire and everyone would line up and they'd pour the boiling water in the barrel with the uh the hammer cocked and let it flow out the uh the flash hole interesting

And then you would dry it out, clean it out, scrub it out.

But it's all just carbon buildup.

And hot water is perfect at removing carbon buildup like that.

You're the problem.

I am the problem.

That guy is a blast physics engineer.

Oh, like he studies blast physics and interesting does.

Yeah.

So that's a really cool science to study.

So his entire study of gunshots is based around blast physics, and that's what the rating is.

The rating from zero to 100 is the human hearing damage risk criteria.

So you just have to go look at the chart, see where the number falls on the chart, and the damage risk for that particular zone.

Okay.

An unsuppressed gunshot is like a four and a half or something like that from a Mark 18.

And the bolt gun 22s are in the low to mid 90s.

I think he's got a 20-inch barreled CZ something that is his test host.

Okay.

But it's, like I said, he's a nerd and he does, everything's tested to a certain standard, certain specificity, certain, you know,
