@solinvictus39 i think it's to represent the fever of battle where nothing would be in sync. If they wanted to make a perfect drill they easily could have.
real life they say Make ready an then present and then fire the present part can be anything exept aim this time they just point the guns because of the accuracy.... and just on the US civil war time the AIM comes fron the dark
@Hikarilover123 In The British army, they said make ready, PRESENT, fire.
When the American army came about during the revolution, they used french and Prussian manuals, so Present changed to aim for the US Army. That is also why we pronounce the rank LT like LEW-TENANT, when in correct English and in the British and Commonwealth armies they pronounce it LEFT-TENANT.
Since everyone is asking Santa for their christmas presents, i'll be so freely to do them as well. Santa, please give me an army of 10 000 men with muskets, so i can have fun. Thank you, yours sincerely.
I must have missed something - I didn't see any of them using their ram rods.

@MarsFKA you don't use ram rods during reenactments, only for cleaning and there is no need

It would be better if they fired in unison.

These guys need a lot more drill... the movements should be crisp and in sync.

This is so nice. By watching the video they seem fairly well disciplined. They definitely make mainstream reenactors look like crap.

Where did "aim" come from in "Ready, Aim, Fire!"? I'm sure you all know that they originally said "Ready, Level, Fire". I think it sounds cooler, ;)

A couple of the gents closest to the camera, on the left, are an undisciplined lot. Keep shuffling around, breaking ranks, etc.
