So what's the going rate for an "AR" vs a 1770s-era cannon?

[DeplorablePaul]

Yea. Where did he get 200 times more lethal? Seems high.

I think it took 20 seconds to load a musket and shoot. Three shots a minute. I’m pretty sure I could empty a 30 round mag in 15 seconds with my unmodified AR. Allowing 5 seconds for reload, I think I could get off 90 aimed rounds a minute. That would make it 33% more lethal. I’m sure others could do better though.
