Phh here's some science for you, a tankard of ale in one hand a blunderbuss in the other sitting on a keg of gunpowder smoking a clay pipe. @Testin123

No, I'm a medieval weapons nerd/fan, @Mellons

Yes. So it shall remain. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Pilotmario ._. wasn't it already that

0.71 inches, or 18mm. It's actually realistic. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Pilotmario oh. I guess its 4 inches, what do you think is better?

Bullet diameter = Caliber. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

Comes out to .71 caliber, which is 0.71 of an inch. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Pilotmario that's the ball diameter

That's actually pretty average for a military musket. 71 calibers. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@PlanesOfOld Did you just go to Wikipedia and copied that

@Pilotmario 18mm :)
@PlanesOfOld tenk u

@PlanesOfOld phh. Heres the science for you. A beer bottle in one hand and a shotgun in the other in a rocking chair on the front porch!

Call yourself a gun nerd, shame on you! Black powder was developed in the late 9th century (800-900AD) in China and the first weapons using black powder came around 1100AD these were primitive rockets developed from fireworks, and shortly after primitive cannons that fired stone balls with straw wadding became reliable enough for them to be fired at an enemy without them killing your cannon crew (a very bad thing) This type of cannon (commonly known as a Bombard) reached European lands shortly afterwards now it had been developed from a bamboo tube that would explode whilst firing the cannonball to a large iron barrel like gun that might explode whilst firing the cannonball. Shortly after the Europeans started using Handgonnes basicly a tiny bombard (they had been around in China since the invention of the gun) that you could carry, they were used in small numbers mainly defending or assaulting castles, to fire you loaded it like a cannon and dimly lit it with a smouldering rope or 'match' this carried on and guns really weren't replacing crossbows and longbows very fast, but the next big development changed that, this was the matchlock, that allowed the gun to be fired with a trigger, these appeared in mid-late Tudor times and were used with great effect in the English civil war in the mid 1600s they basicly used a flintlock mechanism exept the hammer would strike the pan from the opposite direction, and it would hold a match (smouldering rope) these guns made huge amounts of smoke and were difficult to load and had horribly harsh recoil (I saw a guy bowled over trying to fire one without a firing stand) then came the Wheel lock, that generated a spark by spinning a wheel against a flint, this was mainly used in pistols and was developed a bit later than the matchlock but was not used as much. Then comes the flintlock, in the 1700s a good reliable lock, easy to repair and maintain. The best flintlock IMO was the English Brown Bess used in the nepolionic war to great effect! Cannons stayed the same untill this point, a few years before the start of the nepolionic war rifles were invented, basicly a flintlock with a riffled barrel, the baker rifle also served with the green jackets in the nepolionic wars, cannons stayed the same untill after the nepolionic war when rifling was adopted, and then shells and breach loading the history of the gun is vast my friend, and it's been around longer than 300 years! @Testin123

What caliber is this musket? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Testin123 I bet you cringed so much.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation sorry. I'm a gun nerd.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation NP.

@livetoplay11 thxx

@livetoplay11 thxx

No problem! @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

This is 0.00002% historically accurate. Nice modification!

@Testin123 RP States Flintlocks were unlocked at 1415, It's alternate history.

Flintlock whatever this is 0% historically accurate deal with it B-)

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation This is also a bolt action... Not a flintlock.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Guns weren't around till 1700's, when "Black powder" aka gunpowder was found. Then bomb crates were made, along with chinese rockets. Then small flintlocks, and then the first cannon. This moved onto the flintlock action rifles, which proved more accurate, but slow to reload.
