I own and shoot flintlocks on a regular basis, I think they are more fun to shoot then anything else. When you know what you are doing, they are accurate and deadly.
Flintlocks may be hundreds of years old, but they will still kill someone deader then hell.
Yep. I shoot 'em, too.
However, it would not exactly be the weapon of choice for a shooting rampage.
But then, it might be one of those semi-automatic assault flintolcks loaded up with an endless supply of teflon-coated hypervelocity cop-killer bullets...(/sarc)
Common sense left the school system ages ago. No wonder so many kids have to be taught to pour water out of a boot with the directions written on the heel...
