Reload and fire a flint musket

Reload and fire a flint musket

Watch this video tutorial to see how to reload and fire a flint musket. The front clasp musket works by using a piece of a stone called flint to strike a piece of steel and create a spark. The spark ignites a small amount of gunpowder, which sets up the main charge of gun powder inside the barrel of the gun. This is a very informative video for any firearm enthusiast, or for any colonial theme park soldier.
