My name is based on the fact I love the RevWar. I’ve been a bit of an amateur aficionado of it for a couple decades now. Old books, new books, reenactments, battle sites and member of the Monmouth Friends and Brandywine friends and made a nice donation to save Paoli ambush site.

When you study this for a while you get a feel for reality. My words are not “whack”. I’m not a specialist historian but I’ve experienced quite a bit more than the average American.

The other reply gave another good point about the rifling making it hard to load. Indeed, maybe 1 shot per minute for a good loader, while a musketman might get off 3.
