[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3802921, member: 6777"] The problem with damascus barrels is they were pieces of wire wrapped around a mandrel and forge welded. Over the last 100+ years moisture has gotten into the seams of the welds and weakened them. When you start shooting the gun the barrels can unwind like a slinky toy. This doesn't matter what powder you use. Smokeless is a propellant Black powder is an explosive When they get ready to blow either will do it. [/QUOTE]
