815A6430 The Colonial Flintlock Rifle

In order to join the regiment one had to have a rifle. From what I understand with the smooth bore in a flintlock rifle they were't very accurate. It was more shoot and pray and spend another minute frantically reloading while the other side is shooting at you! Standing your ground had a whole different meaning in those days.
