  • What kind of gun is that at 1:44

  • @mafiamoviesrule A Pennsylvania Long Rifle made in the style of Andreas Albrecht and J. Dickert.

  • how many targets were actually hit?

  • All of them - eventually. We fired about 50 - 60 rounds of .69 cal. ball. At that close range we averaged about 3 to 5 hits on the targets per volley.

  • The rifle targets were 100 yards in distance, and everyone hit paper each shot.

  • What is the name of this song

  • I don't know what you mean by "hard" trigger pull, but all of our muskets have play in the trigger, which is historically acurate. They are all sloppy and not made for taking aimed shots, only volley fire - and then , CHARGE BAYONETS!

  • Sound like fun,firing a volley with real rounds.Have another question,do all the musket in your group have a hard trigger pull.Got my Charleville last Monday and it has a hard trigger pull.

  • The targets were only 40 yards or less away. They are life size cardboard sillouettes painted to look like the kings soldiers. Our purpose was not necessarily to hit the bullseye, but to have the experience of firing volleys using real ball.

  • How fare was the targets they were shooting at with there smooth bore muskets,and what kind of target?
