That’s pretty fast. But also suspect. I don’t see any primer going into the pan.

I did get a good laugh out of that. Pretty ace joke.

I always liked that song. Dude could go a little faster if he just left the ram rod out.

Is this a metaphor for the application of second amendment rights in the modern age?

Ah. That’s why it’s 12 minutes long.

If using muskets for school shootings would catch on, the bucket of rocks defense could become viable.

I think that might get him flogged.

Happy to admit that at first sight my immediate thought was Status Quo.


Yes, I am that old and out of touch. Never heard of this planes plural one, either.

Why is the video 12:30 minutes long- oh.

I did wonder how they were going to go about it. I was expecting sped up video or multiple copies of the video at once in sync with the music, so this caught me off-guard and got a real laugh :smiley:

I had a suspicion that it would be someone taking forever to load and fire the musket. The guy in the video was a lot faster than i anticipated but still took a while.

Exceptional by British army standards. But I don’t see him following all the steps in the manual of arms.

Certainly a stiff dressing down at the very least!

Could have been expedited with a firing line.
