[QUOTE="Smo, post: 5149778, member: 12078"] I was going too say, I’ve experienced more splatter from a percussion cap than a flint gun… Not to say it couldn’t happen , the pan and vent are designed too direct the flash at a 90 degree angle and upwards. Too much prime will get you a bigger flash. For sure. Another part of the learning curve. Ive cut myself plenty of times and burned my fingers , but never had a chip of flint hit my face …knock on wood.👍 Rule # 2. Don’t stand close to vent side of the person shooting! [/QUOTE]
