  • @Criticallacitirc Good point.

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

  • 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.

  • '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.

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

  • 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.

  • hat fail

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

  • Red coat is an imperial Guard
