Colonial Williamsburg to Open Public Musket Range
My scandalous reaction? This actually sounds interesting, as the use of the musket, with its tremendous amount of smoke, slow re-loading, remarkable weight, and gross inaccuracy, explains the shape of early American martial conflict and, by extension, much of our early national history.
Feeling the weapon's carrying weight, getting lost and choked in the smoke, and seeing just how hard it is hit something with a mine-ball fired from an un-rifled barrel, would give anyone a greater sense of history than watching some anemic documentary on basic cable.
