  • just think havin all thos commands 2 fire 1 shot and 2 add 2 it havin bullets wizing half an inch from ur head and cannon balls shootin over ur heads and the guy left and right of u dying

  • Ik zou graag eens mee willen doen.

    Maar eerst heb ik een vraagje...

    Moet je het uniform en de Musket zelf zien te bemachtigen?

    Of kun je het gewoon aanschaffen bij het 7e?

  • So a soldier puts gunpowder in a small slot for it, then dumps the rest down the barrel and the container with it, and pushes it down with a metal stick, and is ready to fire.

    I guess the part about adding in a pellet would come after putting the gunpowder and the container down the barrel, and then stuffing both down the barrel.

  • In de 17e was Holland een "worldpower".

    Euh, een musket is toch zo'n ding wat met kruyt een pannetje en een vuursteentje ofzo!? Ik weet wel dat er fijn kruyt in moet en geen "zwart grind" wat voor de kanonne is bedoeld. Daarom gaan ze niet tegelijkertijd af!
