2023-10-09 20:51:29 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

Misleading times, Flintlock Smooth bore muskets had a rate of fire of 3-4 aimed shots per minute, and breach loading “black powder rifle” 8-10 a minute. Thus it wouldn’t be 2.5 hours, but only 50 min for 150 shots with a musket, and as little as 15 for a breach loader. https://gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/firearms-rate-of-fire-through-the-centuries/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Bess https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/small-arms-revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleville_musket

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1644082890706223105

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
