I purchased a replica of a Kentucky long rifle. I could fire two rounds per minute which is considered fairly quick. Later I found that I could use a modern day black powder rifle sabot. By cutting the ears off it and turning it backwards, putting it in between the powder and the patch I could increase my accuracy. The sabot would expand on firing and seal the hot gasses from the patch. The patch would not burn and allowed it to spin the round much more efficiently. I got my accuracy down to a pie plate at 200 yards.
The powder used in a musket is not the same as todays “smokeless powder” if you used regular gunpowder in a musket it will quickly turn into a pipebomb.
@@anintruder477 well it kinda depends. There are smokeless powder muskets. However they’re specifically made for that purpose. Its not really about “amount of power” its about how fast the powder burns. Black powder burns slower so the pressure has time to build. Whereas smokeless burns much quicker causing more strain on the barrel/chamber. You may be able to use smokeless a with a musket if you carefully measure out the powder. However it will put a lot of strain on the musket and may cause it to lose integrity over time.

The projectile (with the wax cloth) is, in almost all cases, a tiny amount bigger than the barrel. That's why you need to push it down with the rod. So no, it doesn't.
In most guns loaded like this, yes. That's why you'll often see soldiers carry their rifles pointing to the sky; they don't need to do it with their rifles, but it's a tradition which shows discipline passed on from those times.
That other commenter is just wrong. Under normal circumstances, and with proper use, a loaded ball cannot roll out of the barrel. For a muzzleloader to function, the ball must have a tight fit in the barrel. This allows for sufficient pressure to be built, which is ultimately what fires the ball out of the barrel at high speeds. For example, if a rifle was .60 caliber (meaning its barrel was 0.600 inches in diameter), a ball somewhere around 0.585 or 0.59 inches would be used. When combined with a lubricated patch of cloth about 0.015-0.022 inches thick, the total diameter would slightly exceed the barrel size, ensuring a tight fit. That’s why a ramrod is necessary. It's there to physically force the ball down the barrel.

No dude its only 7 secs (same amount of time as how the americans on the vietnam war reloaded their m16s /they checked the mag then put it in the feeder then pull it back and waste alot of time by checking again tho/
It depends on the time period. Paper cartridges was a later invention. But by the Civil War (soldier depicted in the video) paper cartridges had long been the norm.
Yes they used paper cartridges that had both the powder and the bullet. You would bite the top of the cartridge, put some of the powder in the pan under the cock and the rest of the cartridge would be rammed down the barrell (if it's a caplock you would put the cartridge directly in the barrell after biting and you would put a percussion cap under the cock to ignite the powder).
My first thought when seeing how he poured the gunpowder using that was that he must be reloading a Blunderbuss or something like that because guns like that need a lot of gunpowder to fire.
The first step to loading an old rifle, is making sure it's not loaded, and also making sure the barrel is free of obstructions. You failed gun safety.
You forgot the most important part, the flint! It's what creates the spark when the hammer strikes down, capitalizing on the concept of flint and steel. The flints were crafted into a specific shape and with a specific edge so it could send more sparks when making contact with the steel, in order to ignite the gunpowder more efficiently. Knappers back then were the ones that were set to task on making them. These days, Flintknappers are typically known for just making arrowheads, but the origin of the name dates back to the pre-Civil War times, referring to the people who used to make the gunflints for these rifles.
hello gun enthusiast here with a bit of experience with blackpowder. To correct a few things about the animation: 1. You should make sure to measure your powder and not just pour it straight into the barrel (especially the amount shown in the animation). Pouring too much powder can cause a catastrophic failure upon firing. 2. The roundball should not be that small as shown in the animation, it should be large enough to roll down the barrel and should be in contact with the walls of the barrel. A subcaliber ball like the one in the barrel wouldn’t be accelerated properly. 3. The purpose of the ramrod is to make sure the ball is seated with the powder and that there is no air gaps. You can’t really shove it inside the powder as shown in the animation, and instead what you’d be doing is compressing the powder. The ramrod btw is reversed in the video.

Kinda wrong back in the 1700s instead putting that big thing for powder they used like a small pack to put it in I think I’m sorry if I’m wrong
they invented that after the musket
It's called the paper catridge. And also the bullet is in the paper catridge as well. You should probably do some research.
It depends on the time period. Paper cartridges was a later invention. But by the Civil War (soldier depicted in the video) paper cartridges had long been the norm.
Yes they used paper cartridges that had both the powder and the bullet. You would bite the top of the cartridge, put some of the powder in the pan under the cock and the rest of the cartridge would be rammed down the barrell (if it's a caplock you would put the cartridge directly in the barrell after biting and you would put a percussion cap under the cock to ignite the powder).
My first thought when seeing how he poured the gunpowder using that was that he must be reloading a Blunderbuss or something like that because guns like that need a lot of gunpowder to fire.
The trash talk while people were reloading must've been crazy
Copied comment
A minute of silence to all those who were killed by this gun.
The first step to loading an old rifle, is making sure it's not loaded, and also making sure the barrel is free of obstructions. You failed gun safety.
Lol I was just gonna say. And who knows if he was sure of his target and beyond when he fired
Zack explain things better in 30 seconds than my professor in 2 hours
Cuz Zack is using animations duh
@WhaleLover-i2q isn't this off-topic?
A lot of innacuracies tho
Mom: "Stop watching videos and go learn things!"
Me:
Fr lol
We be getting redcoats with this one 🗣️
Uh excuse me. Civil War soldiers used percussion caps, not flintlocks.
Who cares about statunitense history lmao it’s 200 years old, insignificant
The reloading method was still the same anyway.
@@SetuwoKecik except you wouldn’t prime the pan
Imagine watching this video while my enemy standing there watching as I follow along with Zack.
At this point Zack is preparation us for WW3
😮
Why would you use a smoothbore musket for ww3?
Ahh yes finally I found out how to load a old gun😊
Ok thats my nerf gun
Commando: reloading the rifle
Soldier: the war is over sir.

zack never running out of ideas 😮
I always loved old rifles they are so much more respectful then new ones in my opinion
You forgot the most important part, the flint! It's what creates the spark when the hammer strikes down, capitalizing on the concept of flint and steel. The flints were crafted into a specific shape and with a specific edge so it could send more sparks when making contact with the steel, in order to ignite the gunpowder more efficiently. Knappers back then were the ones that were set to task on making them. These days, Flintknappers are typically known for just making arrowheads, but the origin of the name dates back to the pre-Civil War times, referring to the people who used to make the gunflints for these rifles.
"hey bro i gotta reaload real QUICK" ahh😭🙏
Zack: (Talks about the musket)
Me: “No? Guts & Blackpowder comments & memes in here?”
This will become very useful in a couple of months
The animator needs a raise
"theres got to be a faster way to do this"
the way bro was looking up it was like the best emoji🗿
hello gun enthusiast here with a bit of experience with blackpowder. To correct a few things about the animation:
1. You should make sure to measure your powder and not just pour it straight into the barrel (especially the amount shown in the animation). Pouring too much powder can cause a catastrophic failure upon firing.
2. The roundball should not be that small as shown in the animation, it should be large enough to roll down the barrel and should be in contact with the walls of the barrel. A subcaliber ball like the one in the barrel wouldn’t be accelerated properly.
3. The purpose of the ramrod is to make sure the ball is seated with the powder and that there is no air gaps. You can’t really shove it inside the powder as shown in the animation, and instead what you’d be doing is compressing the powder. The ramrod btw is reversed in the video.
"James, the battle ended. What you waiting for?"
"Give me one second Ghunter. I reloading my rifle"
When in doubt, use more gunpowder
Thanks I found one in my grandpas house and now I know how to use it 😃
