Always a fascinating subject from one hell of a fascinating time. ETA: If the stuff I found online is accurate (and if I'm correct in assuming that the balls were cast of pure lead), that would be 147 grains at 1,000 feet per second. If the expedition had been attacked (and Washington Irving's histories of the West it almost seems a miracle that they weren't), I guess it would've been the closest thing to an MP38 they could've gotten their hands on. http://nationalinterest.org/bl...ark-expedition-45427 http://www.beartoothbullets.co...rs/php/roundball.htm | |||

Peace through superior firepower. As true then as it is now. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Sounds like it could have been a game changer given the proper support on the battlefield. Your “magazines” exploding in direct sunlight might suck though. Lol | |||
