#MusketBalls
depopulating the countryside with machine guns and b-29s is easy. doing so with nothing but a halberd, two dozen musketballs and sheer determination takes the heart of a hater

this is actually extremely funny. "My ancestors fought for Lee's army and that made it possible for me to be part of America today" yeah because they lost. "Great-great-great grandpappy getting riddled with musketballs at Bull Run is why I'm an American"

I think the Children Of The American Revolution should hunt and kill the Children Of The Confederacy and then turn their musketballs on themselves

He was wearing a Tricorn and carved "ANTI-ICE" into his musketballs.

We are wrapping it up in Trench 3 today and getting ready to cheer for everyone at their naturalization ceremony here at the Bunker Hill monument! Congrats to all!

Our buried 1775 surface has yielded another British and another provincial musket ball. (1/2)

This is a tense period in human history, Absolutely.

But remember there are bullet holes Église St-Éloi, S.London has stretchers for fences, &the US still unearths musketballs from the revolutionary war

Despite that we still had the 80s the internet &microwave popcorn

We will come back from this

Like, enchanting musketballs and/or barrels of early guns is so easy!

Not being able to imagine them is... funny.

Better yet, she's a grenadier. She's dressed like this, but with a muzzle and a wolfskin coat. She's always the first one over the battlements, and comes back every time with a half dozen musketballs she barely notices in her flesh. Some units have been known to break just from seeing her charge.

Saw articles today about recent recoveries of a cannonball from the Battle of the Alamo and musketballs from the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Mood.

In 1776 New York revolutionaries tore down this lead statue of King George III — posed as Caesar — and turned him into musketballs.

if anyone tries to tell you that people spat musketballs down the barrel in history, they clearly have no idea what they were talking about, because... No, people did NOT stick a loaded gun barrel in their mouths to load a gun that was already faster to load with paper cartridges.

oh no, where could the skill of removing musketballs from bodies possibly come in handy at a later point oh no oh my what could this mean.

Firing a musket for real can be a real thrill — our muskets do not fire musketballs, but the gunpowder they use is very real and so firing a musket on the battlefield requires special equipment & training.

and poor henry but how long does he truly have with musketballs in him bc there’s no way he would’ve survived waiting the 2+ months of travel for claire to get back to the states💀

<< Also: multiple powder charge caps indicate that action happened at a spot: musketeers are most likely to have lost them when ripping open powder bottles in a hurry. Caps help confirm musketballs found in the area were unlikely to be accidental losses.

We have a similar situation at Cheriton.

Dems should introduce a bill stating that you can't make tax policy if you don't pay taxes. Bye bye Donnie and Musketballs.

there's a grandpa very loudly and very incorrectly talking about how the musketballs on display are made of clay, when the sign right there says they're made of lead :|

be brave & be creative

militia men melted statues into musketballs

both during the revolution and ww2, they produced their own clothing, their own foods, their own entertainment

they marched, they spoke, they met, they kept ideas & hope alive

they worked in secret and relied on their fellow man

Back to reading.

One soldier crammed twenty-three musketballs in the same barrel rather than fire one at an enemy. I'll be thinking about that a while.

My own grandfather was a Navy Seabee involved in Iwo Jima in WW2. He told me he never shot anyone, "And I wouldn't have had it any other way."

Most tyrants will never see the patterns in history. The people will tear down your icons and melt them into bullets and cannonballs before we bow.

(The fence around Bowling Green once protected a statue of King George which was melted for musketballs, and the fence defaced to remove the crown.)
