      @afrog2666 6 років тому +6

      Yes because emotions never had anything to do with anything..
      Also, cats have a long history of getting rid of rodents and other pests, they`re a useful animal to have around, unlike cows, or pigs.
      Don`t even mention milk, having a 1000 pound animal to feed for some milk isn`t enough.
      We eat the big stupid ones because they`re nutritional and delicious, I don`t think cats and dogs will be all that tasty..

      If they were 10 shooting with muskets from the walls, he would have probably died anyway. Only by sheer luck you would survive a volley fire. Muskets were not that accurate but could still hit their target with multiple shots, otherwise they would have kept crossbows just for garrison duties.

    I think the paintball thing was a bit...unreliable data. Yes, it's safe, but they simply proved that if the musketeers had something like an automatic rifle, that guy would be dead easily. What they should have done was fire one shot every so seconds based on how often they were able to shoot with muskets.

    • @statosphereonline2008
      @statosphereonline2008 4 роки тому +1

      yeah but 4 men with paintball guns represent the many hundreds of armed riflemen all firing muskets with single shots. obviously they didn't have a huge number of men but given the distance he had to run the amount of shots was probably pretty accurate.

    • @kennethflorek8532
      @kennethflorek8532 8 років тому +3

      Chris c Thanks for the info. I heard somewhere that milk home delivery, in pint bottles (?), continued to be the rule in the UK and Europe longer than in the US because refrigerators came to be affordable later. The single commonplace item that wouldn't keep well enough without refrigeration was milk. So it wasn't convenience or luxury that supported milk home delivery, but low refrigerator ownership. I also find the size in pints incredible, because our family bought it 4 half gallons at a time, twice a week.

      Kenneth Florek obviously it just depends on where you live. Milk delivery is more economical in more densely populated areas. You’re paying a premium for the transportation costs.
      That said, with modern milk production and preservation techniques as well as the Omni-presence of super markets, it is rather pointless.

    • @Luubelaar
      @Luubelaar 5 років тому +1

      Mid-1990's it pretty much stopped in Australia. I was in high school when it stopped in our area. (I finished high school in 1993)
      We kept having it delivered because it was cheaper than the supermarkets and convenient. The downside was that on "milk day" we had to make sure someone was home or else it sat out unrefrigerated on our front porch. Not so bad in winter, but imagine your milk sitting out on the porch for a few hours when it's 40C outside ... yuck.

      Dhindara Vrel Yes!!... poetic justice is totally thousands of innocent children and families dying from bursting plague bubles, little kids orphaned after watching their mother vainly treat their dying father, only to see both parents burst with bloody puss cysts, cough blood, violently shit themselves and die in front of them. The next day some other peasants come by and toss their parents like a sack of garbage onto a cart filled with 6-7 of their dead neighbors....
      You think that’s poetic justice because a few Stuart era bureaucrats erroneously believed that culling thousands of STRAY / semi-ferrel dogs & cats would ameliorate the suffering of the human population?
      Do you have any idea how many stray dogs and cats their would have been before spay and neuter programs of the 20th century? Particularly in the rat infested port / river. cities like London, Liverpool, Plymouth, Newcastle, Portsmouth, etc. where they had an abundance of rodents to eat?
      So, not only were these kids seeing their parents die & get carted away, but their semi-ferrel neighborhood dog/cat pets were being put down at the behest of the town councils, parliament etc. etc.
      And you, with your smug acquisition of western social justice warrior perspectives, despite being an Indian who lives in one of the filthiest, most socially oppressive cultures on earth have the gall to comment, “is this poetic justice?”
      Is it just me, or are most Indians really fucking stupid / lack empathy for humans at an almost autistic level? Maybe that bogus cow worshipping and caste system you’ve all had for 3500 years has kind of skewed your perspectives?

      Leopararouen maybe you should stop leaving stupid comments if you don’t want people to call you out on your ignorance then.
      One musket ball, if you were hit from a sloping trajectory could do considerably more damage than a modern bullet if it impacted any bone or organs, because it would split and fracture bone into tiny little pieces and essentially weaponize your own bone fragments inside your body. This is why (along with no understanding of germ theory during surgeries) that getting shot in the arm, shoulder or lower leg back in the day was so much more likely to result in amputation and death.
      And as the guy you are hating on said... every musket on the parapet would be trained specifically on the petard. And this is why so many died, and why your attempt at contrarianism is erroneous and why you are a stupid little cunt who should refrain from posting stupid little cunt comments.

    • @Holy_hand-grenade
      @Holy_hand-grenade 6 років тому +1

      matthew stoddart 3 a minute is what the British army regulars were able to do, although the more old fashioned black powder muskets of the 16th & 17th centuries, getting 2 a minute would have likely been pretty good.
      Either way, he’s the only guy they’re shooting at, and they are firing down at him from behind a wall, with cross fire. Which is why so many died.
      You guys are retarded if you’re trying to suggest it wasn’t likely as dangerous as it’s being made to be.

    • @vladimirstroganoff4404
      @vladimirstroganoff4404 6 років тому

      Yeah they didn't shoot small calibers either, but the accuracy of an aimed shot with a smoothbore at a 100 yards is about 50% but there were so many shooting and one hit with a .50 - .75 caliber will end you or blow off a leg/arm. But he also ran in the middle of the day and they probably had some kind of tactic in the real scenario to make it the success that it became. Maybe it was multiple people running, or they let loose such a barrage fire that he was able to run there while they took cover, who knows.
