@GorinRedspear well it whas just fashion to carry something sharp on the hip, poor man could also aford them but they were just un decorated.

[shaider1982]

@GorinRedspear Yeah but they should have called themselves "swordskeeters" instead.

[GorinRedspear]

@shaider1982 the musket was (not like the handcanon) a very expensive weapon, reserved for the upper class, hence the french royal musketeers. as it became mass produced (and used by commoners), the nobility grabbed back to the only noble weapon, the sword to distinguish themselves from the regular army

I thought I came here to learn about actual fighting not Hollywood style -__-

Dammn, Peter Woodward's costume just gave me a "Stupid Sexy Flanders" moment!

[shaider1982]

@mrgimp420 Yup, it was. But I just found it weird. Sort of like calling your unit the pistoleros when you actually use M-16's.

[mrgimp420]

@shaider1982 Because muskets were cumbersome and unreliable. They often exploded in the users face in the early days, and even the best musketeers would only be able to get off a couple shots before the enemy closed the distance and then it was time to whip out the swords.

musketeers do use muskets bu not the candy bard kind
