No recoil because it's shooting blanks. Obviously for safety reasons. The crimped ends of the cartridges are a dead give away.

Total different beast when each fired shot has to push weighted mass through rifling.

Am I the only one who gets a weird feeling seeing re-enactment dudes who choose the Germans or the Confederacy?

The swing set in the background is a nice touch.
