Musket Firing at Concord

[RockFetish78]

@Criticallacitirc Good point.

[RockFetish78]

The musket only travels at about 1400 feet per second, as opposed to a modern firearm which can go up to 4000 feet per second with heavier rounds. Pfffftt, imagine bringing an MG to a musket fight.

@RockFetish78 that was 19th centuries... of course 1400 feet/s was fast enough at that time.

'Musket firing at Concord', you'll never hit it it has a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet and had a top speed of MAC 2.

He should have shot down the asshole who kept going past in the plane.

Wait, so blanks can still injure someone at a distance? I thought a blank was just lacking a bullet (or ball) but has everything else. It would produce a flash, but wouldnt fire any projectile. Im assuming with muskets, some of the powder still shoots out, but I still dont see how a blank could do damage to a can unless it was at point blank range.

Well actually it is what they wore, stop playing video games and using gay internet terms.

Red coat is an imperial Guard

[marinoshulagreise]

no, a Redcoat was a nickname for british infantry during the 19th century, and Britain was a monarchy not a republic

I believe this is actually taking place at Hartwell Tavern, Lincoln MA, not Concord. And I recognise Ranger Jim Hollister (the minuteman) but I don't recognise the Redcoat.
