Musket Fire 

Assault rifle actually, you don't even need a machine gun.

@@Bolshevik.remover I think there are more than 30 people shooting the muskets, that's why I went with the mg

@@Bolshevik.remover there are no such things as assault rifles

The advantage here, if a machine gunner was within their range, they’d pick him apart from multiple positions. Any distance greater than 25 meters and conventional rifles/machine guns aren’t breathing a sweat

well a well drilled line battalion would have wat more than depicted

Trust me, if they were loaded with actual ammunition.......you won't hear the click😅

@@kieranfitzgerald2030 dunno what you were firing but the Brown Bess musket and Baker rifle that I fired with live ammo had the click.

​@@kieranfitzgerald2030 The click happens because of delayed ignition so the bang happens a bit after the click. what kind of musket do you have if you can't hear the click?

@@admiralkosovothefirst There was no internet when the founding fathers codified your right to free speech. You have newspapers and pamphlets. That's it.

i guess they can , under the command of theyre platoon leader

It should be said that these are probably not full power powder charges, they are using modern gun powder *and* they aren't loading any balls which makes the whole affair much quieter than it would have been back then.

Their*

very rarely do we go shoot at some targets with these things - as it deteriorates the musket. These things aren't rifled, so the ball rattles all along the barrel on its way out.

Thanks for the reply! It'd surely be quite challenging. I've seen many videos of people shooting muskets. What I really want, however, is to understand the power and the actual effectiveness of the linear formation.

Not the best group to ask for live fire data. A lot of reenactors buy "display only" replicas and drill a touch hole vent to make them capable of firing. Depending on who made these wall-hangers, they might not be the best or safest thing to fire live charges from. Reproductions meant for shooting are available for purchase from respectable manufacturers like Pedersoli, and these can be shot indefinitely if given the proper care. "Ball rattle" should not affect any quality reproduction barrel actually meant for shooting. The 1137 steel barrels used on such modern reproductions are a lot stronger than the wrought iron barrels used in the old days.

I would agree with you completely. Some companies that make the reproductions can be a bit shady and don't go through the same regularity checks that firearms dealers do

@@leokim1458 Well this is 3 years late... but I'm saving for a Charleville 1777 right now and will probably have it around the end of the year, which even supposing I'm not too late that's even longer to wait. BUUUT what I'm saying is when I get it I'd be happy to test stuff for you!

They can? And have before

They do actually.

How about ICBM volley fire... Lol

It is a real gun.

It will detoriate the gun

What are you even blabbering about lmao

Like the recoil? It depends. Many re-enactors that I've met use only enough powder to get the "desired effect", that being a loud noise and copious amounts of smoke. I won't go as far as to make any specific statements as to how much they use, but when I shoot targets I use 70 grains of 2F black powder (F's designate the coarseness), whereas when hunting (particularly deer) I 110 grains of 2F.
