based on the Intro and using a Rounded 14 seconds to shoot and reload a 430 challenge would take about 1 hour 40 Minutes of constant shooting, reloading, shooting
That internal diagram is nice, really makes it easy to wrap your head around how the thing functions. It got me thinking, it would limit alternate ammo use but a ramrod with a dart-length thinner section on the end of the would allow for a mechanic where the ridge can catch on a rim to prime the plunger as you load all in one action
There's an alternate lock mechanism made by the same person that lets you load a cap for a cap gun into the pan, and when you pull the trigger the flint drops down on it and makes a loud sound with some smoke. I haven't gotten to try one, but it seems really cool
If I am not mistaken, the yellow part of the ram rod is supposed to be the part to be shoved into the barrel first. But overall the funniest intro I have ever seen from you, Coop!
I love how it even has the royal monogram on the flintlock mechanism just like the Brown Bess. Amazing level of detail (even if the barrel is a little thicker than a real-steel musket). This thing is at the top of my wishlist!
You reloaded that in roughly 13 seconds. In battlefield conditions the average soldier would get 2 or 3 shots a minute! Also most musket engagements started around 250 yards apart and heated up around 100 to 150 yards away. For hitting a single target as opposed to an enemy line it was most of the time accurate at roughly 50 yards. A lot better than an elite round!
I love muskets. I would buy one of these if they made an injection molded version. I also wish they'd make one where you can load a rival dart, and then push it in with the rod while priming it simultaneously.
Excellent Review as always! 0:35 lol That never gets old :) 1:05 I guess that's so it doesn't block the view of the target. Not that it's going to matter though: 5:57 Finally a use for Nerf Elite Darts!
7:20 So, history buff here. Firstly, that firing mechanism in the back that's for show, that's pretty accurate to the 17th and 18th century examples of flint lock muskets that we have. There are different types fo muskets and if you're interested in hearing about them then I'll post another comment about it but otherwise thats a tangent and itll be one heck of a tangent. The "hammar" which is what you pull back, would have a peice of flint jammed between a vice, that flint would then ignite powder put in a flash pan. And the firearm would go off, but not immediately. Sometimes it was a few seconds after you fired. So that's why the hammer looks so weird, because it's not actually a hammer it's a vice holding a peice of flint. Also, muskets were not inaccurate, at close range. The range you fired at, would've hit someone. Like, really hit them where you were aiming. The further away you went, the more inaccurate muskets became, and this was because of the fact that most muskets were smooth bore, I.E didnt have any rifling to stabilize the projectile over long distances. Which meant the ball would simply fly to the left or the right, up or down, and eventually just go off target. This is why volley fire was used at longer distances, so that at least 1 of you was hitting something. (Volley fire is essentially the entire front row of your defensive line fires. There are more extensive ways to do volley fire that were incredibly effective but uh, tanget.) And uh, anyway, just wanted to clear that up. Muskets are not inaccurate, until you hit a certain distance. Like most weapons that fire a projectile, they have an effective range.
I’ve been watching your channel since 2020 and the content that you create is amazing, I feel happy that you are making videos about thing you find interesting Good job keep it up!
Okay if 3d printed hobby blasters are going this route, I'd love to see SVT style rifles will clip loading feature for the fantasy. And want it to shoot mfing hard!
What if they made a blunderbuss where its a catapult and to cock it you use the ramrod to push it into place. Think the split second it takes to launch the darts or "fire" would feel the same as a flintlock mechanism.
outstanding, the only thing i dont like about it is that the bajonet is made out of plastic and not foam, that would be cool, but the rest of super nice, good job frontlinefoam :)
The thin part is naturally thin. So would be a bit accurate although don't believe all muskets had that some were fatter some were not really depends on the model its based on. Although legally a musket is not considered a gun so anyone could order one.
I want this, I’m gonna show up to a high end nerf comp, everyone else is gonna be running the most optimised gear, and I’ll show up, in a banana costume, with a musket, and the Fortnite flint lock thingy
Coulnt you maybe adapt the tube for rival rounds so its dummy proof and give better performance for rival?granted normal foam round coulnt be used in that case
I have wanted that, I have my own real muskets but I do want this still... Your drilling soldier could be better Ya so the flintlock system itself is pretty cool, though it's a shame is broken, also of course it's a lot smaller. What I found is funny is are cartridge boxes hold nerf darts. So I like to use it with single shot pistols I respect your attention to tie your hair back in the tail. I have thought of the idea of firing a nerf dart with my musket but I reckon it probably just melt away if anything
Yea, for a toy musket, that is better than i would expect (yes, i have one) but what was wrong was how you wore the hat. It would be worn slightly sideways to prevent your musket from hitting the hat when being held in a shoulder position. Why i even cared to notice that? Bug off.
saw this thing some time ago at a festival, and the person who sold it was selling it for 800 danish kroner, and that is waaay to much, and he paid 100 danish kroner to the creator each time he made one, none of my friends and i would buy it for that price.
I love the fact that Hasbro failed with the Mando rifle, which was just a glorified overpriced jolt rifle. This is also a single fire rifle, but the fact its a musket and you need to use a ramrod to prime and load it just makes it cooler xD Boomstick beats lazer gun.
That's a nice looking flintlock. Its too bad the bayonet isn't foam, otherwise you could do some serious charges. I guess you could just gently tap someone with it.
