@uraan_stories_official: The Ottomans Used 4,520 Sheepskins to Protect Gunpowder. An Ottoman archive record from 1770 shows that 4,520 sheepskins were purchased to wrap black-powder barrels. Leather, felt and animal skins helped keep ammunition dry during storage and transport, because moisture could make black powder unreliable. #OttomanHistory #MilitaryHistory #Gunpowder #HistoryTok #OttomanArmy
