Uncle Son used to load up an old Civil War era shotgun with a buncha crunched up "strike anywhere" match-heads for propellant and use popcorn kernals fer shot.
He'd stick a match head in the hammer to serve in lieu of percussion caps.
He kept blowin' holes in the kitchen floor while fuggin' with it so Pappy Hill took it away from him,...
,...so he blew up the outhouse with an early 1900 series pipe bomb.
I recall my Papaw talkin' about it,..
"They wasn't enough left o'that outhouse to kindle a far. Son always did like playing with that black powder".
