Not really, but Muskets were the old reliable: easy to make, standardise and train with, we can see plenty of more "outlandish" guns throughout the modern age while the musket was dominant, but they were expensive as hell, complicated and experimental. When all the principles such guns had could be mass produced and were now thoroughly tested, they got in the mainstream. It's not surprising that muskets were used on mass up to half of the 19th century, in conflicts such as the prussio-austrian War and the American Civil War. Why throw away something that was perfectly viable and cheap to produce?

There was a farmer by the name of Samuel Whitmore at Lexington who had several muskets loaded up for an ambush. He fired on redcoats marching through the street. As I remember it, the volume of fire and concealment of the smoke had the Regulars assuming it was an ambush by several people, so they simply returned (mostly) ineffectual volleys in his general direction before charging his position. He drew his sword and fought back, but was overwhelmed. After being shot in the face, he was bayoneted nearly 20 times. The gigachad survived this ordeal, despite being in his 70's at the time. After the revolution he went back to farming and died at the age of 93. They don't make em like they used to, eh? Being a patriot meant something a lot less cringe back then, heh.

@michaelmurray6197

2 ай бұрын

The point is that they existed. And the founding fathers knew that technology would continue to push forward until those types of weapons were available. I'm certain at least Benjamin Franklin did if not many of the others. Really if someone wants to argue against the 2nd amendment it should be about it being a well regulated militia. Basically it shouldn't guarantee rights that everyone owns a gun. It guaranteed that people with training should be able to own a gun and form groups that continue that training and can be called upon in times of need. I think the government avoids this because they don't want anyone asking for the same deal as the National Guard. At some point the National Guard took over for the militias across the country. If someone setup a group that competed with them potentially they could request government funding and access to things like tanks, artillery, fighter jets, etc. That is a can of worms the government doesn't want to mess with. Better to just argue about whether people should own semi-automatic rifles and ignore that they could be asking for some serious military equipment.

As a weapon historian there is also an American/British musket that used the chamber to hold 16 shots. The flintlock mechanism would move to each spot fire off that round then by secondary trigger pull move to next notch. The tube/chamber could be removed and replaced with a fresh one that was already loaded…aka a magazine fed breach loading flintlock. It was called the Belton flincklock repeater. There is a few videos and things out there if you are interested. It would compete with this design possibly

They also had warships, cannons and lethal air rifles too. George Washington was also very interested in the "Puckle gun" which was essentially a form of artillery that took the shape of a large mounted revolver. Unfortunately the Continental Army lacked the funds at the time.

The concepts were there early on. The limiting factor was the ability to mass produce and the cost of such complex firearms when compared to other battlefield tested and simpler varieties of musket and rifle.
