The way the musket ball splatters.

That armor was very surprised.
KaJuN
What the devil?!
ProudAussie
Aww look at the happy face at the end.
bripi
It's a miracle anyone could shoot with those things. The time between flash and actual shot is ridiculous, and a great reason the aim sucked
Dooovde
They often turned their face away before firing to avoid facial burns. It's already inaccurate past 80-100yards without firing blind!
OneBabyOneHamburgerBun
His lack of shooting glasses is seriously bothering me.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Why, it's not like there is a minor black powder explosion 3 inches from his face.

Had a guy overload a musket on me when I was 14 at boy scout camp. Knocked me on my ass so hard I couldn't think straight for a few minutes.

This post ain't no flash in the pan.
That saying actually refers to the pan that a photographer would hold with magnesium powder flash.
KnifeKnut
Nonsense. The black powder in the musket pan would flash, but not ignite the main charge, thus amounting to nothing, unlike the 1/
the magnesium which fully completed its purpose by quickly burning.

I *highly* recommend checking out Tacoma FD if you liked Super Troopers, same people but fire fighters. It's a fucking riot.

Fuck yeah

I'm just mad it wasn't filmed anywhere near Tacoma :( They did use some B-roll and static images of Tacoma though.
The outside shot of the station is so hilariously a composite of different buildings too.

In guessing Springfield 1863?
jackalwsu3
Nah bro, Model 1863 was a percussion gun, not a flintlock. Its kinda hard to tell, but my guess is either Model 1812 or Charleville.
NOINITIATIVE
yeah I watched a documentary showing flintlock pistols and how they don't kick at all; so I knew something was off.
That lock time is crazy.
suffyr
I kinda want one now
somnif
They're kinda a pain in the ass to shoot with (very high maintenance). But fun to play with once or twice.

Of all the guns to wear eye protection with that's the one you pick not to? It has an explosion outside before inside.

I think it's technically a deflagration. But yes, your point is valid.

That's gotta be a steel plate and not just an iron one.
ColonelColon
Almost like any armor contemporary with the musket would be made of steel or something. Wild, I know.
I was under the assumption that steel plating wasn't in wide spread use until traditional armor was obsolete.
charlie2979
There's a pretty large overlap. Napoleonic cuirassiers wore pretty think plate armor, it'd stop a musket ball just like this.

Ah good times!
Wolfshead009
OK, even for a cartoon this is bad. Shot would be AFTER the powder.
chaft
I mean it exploded so I think the point is he does it wrong and there’s consequences?
Belisaurius1
And the wadding. The joke is Sylvester's an idiot.
menemyr
Part of the joke in this was Sylvester trying to load in different orders, but in the end Tweety (I think) was pulling the trigger each time
Ah. Haven't seen the full carton, so didn't get that form this clip. Much thanks.
ilhares
The average person has no idea how a proper firearm functions in modern times, let alone early tech models.
HangingOnTheEdgeOfTomorrow
And half of them are dumber than that.
tlamstrike
Which is scary because guns in the US are now a political issue and ignorance can be exploited.
allenvasher3000
Yeah but that cartoon is real old
I'm not sure which side you're trying to advocate for here. The average person is pretty dumb all around.

Would suck to be the guy testing out the armor...

If you can’t step out of the way of a gun firing that slowly, you deserve to get shot.

Having been shot three times in armor... Fucking ouch. Oh God. Wheeze. Kill me.
bigbadjohn795772
Don't worry they are probably using a dummy.

He’d have to be to let someone shoot him with a musket.

Whadda ya mean? The armor stopped the round, he’s fine
Gigas85
Lol right especially since these things were inaccurate AF.
DukeOfBadDecisions
Firearms were fairly common since mid 1400... armour adapted.
DonnerVarg
I think Gigas85 is referring to the musket's lack of precision hitting the target, not any lack of historical accuracy.
BS, no recoil.
T0go
I think you're overestimating the length of the clips. The one of the muzzle is less than 1/10 of a second, too short to see the recoil.
TheCaptain00
Likely strapped down for the actual test shot and the view of the pan separate. Hard to get stable video of a muzzle on a rifle being held.
ShiftingPattern
Thing is probably strapped to a heavy brace to stabilize it, both for the shot and to avoid a human accidentally dropping it from the kick.
drdavessardogs
The burn is really slow, less recoil than modern weapons, but still there
Intrspace
Old school muskets were beefy. I imagine the mass would absorb the recoil
Not even close, the ball they fire is beefy too. They kick like any firearm.
Fargus57
I got to try a .50 caliber octagonal barrel muzzleloader. Extremely heavy and kicked like a mule. Not pleasant to shoot at all.
ThatOneFriendWhoTriesTooHard
Aw, man, I really need sauce for this.
Pfenya
It is from a French documentary on Prince Eugene and the Ottoman Empire and they were testing armor made like his
This is a link https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/051797-001-A/eugene-de-savoie-et-l-empire-ottoman-1-2/
The clip is around minute 35
Thank you so much!
erikleorga
That fire delay. Such an odd feeling when you're used to modern ammunition.
IOW, Lock Time... from when you pull the trigger until bang-y noises.
I'm lucky, I've actually been able to fire a flintlock, and a cap fire muzzleloader.
So have I... I did not enjoy it (got sprayed in the face (and up my nose) with burning powder...
