(TFT) Gunfire



Brett stated,

<<<They were probably taking the time to load a rifle, not a arquebus. The
tight bullets on a rifle take more like a minute to load.>>>

Even then the typical black powder flintlock (no matchlocks) took
approximately 45 seconds to a minute to reload (9-12 turns).  A big problem
with rifles was foaling of the piece over time that led to slower loading
times.  I wrote something more precise on this earlier on the list.

Yours in Cidri,
Justin
