    Frontier is the name of a mini series in Netflix I’ve been watching. Setting is Hudson Bay during late 1700’s. They discussed a rifle that had capability of firing off 8 shots per minute. Any weapon shown was flintlock. Was there any thing capable of 8 shots per minute in that time

    Why not doubles?

    Being a newbie and also interested in history, especially American history, I wonder why back in the days of our Revolution, that a double barreled musket or rifle wouldn’t have been the weapon of choice. A bit heavier, more difficult to make etc but twice the firepower. Why weren’t the...
