I can do the same with a rifle and shoot a group at 100 yards that would take a man's heart out. I'm not so good at this....  |
I would love to see a video of someone hitting the lethal area of a life-size silhouette 6 times in two minutes firing offhand with an 18th century rifle.
I'm sure *somebody* can do such a thing, but I feel certain it was beyond the ability of the average colonial rifleman.
