Grew up with both of my parents being into colonial era reenactments. I forgot how much I loved that musket sound.

Looking back, it really was. We'd go camping with church friends with just about everything being period appropriate. The clothing was uncomfortable, but everything else was fun. I can't even remember how old I was when I shot a musket for the first time, but I didn't brace at all and it knocked me right over....I should get a musket.

I would do that camping for sure.

Probably a lot of wool stuff.

Never shot a musket a mosin nagant is probably the biggest recoil I've messed with.

I really like his content.

I found him looking for some historical context about the 'Master and Commander' movie.

Kind of related to our earlier conversation.

Around 3:30 to see what damage is done to a pavestone and then a wooden table. It messes the table up pretty good. I was actually surprised it didn't crack the paver.

That was a pretty interesting presentation, and funny too. I like this guy, thanks for turning me on to him. I was curious too so i went and found a video from Paul Harrell about it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOhNVHqtuR0.

In my mind I kept associating these large calibers with their modern counterparts when they're really no where near it. There is a lot of kinetic energy, but it's a big lead ball and it's moving too slow for a penetrating punch. Still, that would suck ass getting hit by one though, oh that would suck.

That musket really messed up those soda bottles! That would have been neat to see with a high speed camera shot slowed down.

I really like that youtuber. I found him looking for some historical context of the 'Master and Commander' movie. I've watched a lot of his videos since.

Right! Yeah, I like him too in spite of that regrettable porn stache he had there, lol. I was disappointed he didn't bust out the cronograph or meat target this time, but that was still a pretty decent demonstration. I always use him for detailed reviews of guns I'm interested in, he's pretty knowledgable. I really wanted to see the meat target though.
