Muzzle Loading in Taiwan

Indigenous people of Taiwan may use muzzle loading to hunt with. Private firearm ownership is illegal except the indigenous may have muzzle loaders. They appear to be all in-line of domestic make. Got 40 min?

At 9:45 we see Mr. Lin making a gun. The Pakistanis who have a long tradition of making firearms are much more skilled. Instead of being screwed or pinned in, the barrels are welded onto the receiver and they use a 22 nail gun cartridge as the propellant for the 40 cal (10 mm ball). He also uses a hoseclamp to secure the action to the stock.

In the 1960s I spent 18 months over there in the Air Force. I wasn't into shooting or guns that much back then so I never realized they couldn't own guns. I thought, even now, they had more rights and freedom. Here I thought they ran away from main land China to escape communist rule.
