musket

A drone is just the weapon of the day and not any more illegal than say a smoothbore musket in its day.

Weren't those bombs packed with the same stuff that you buy if you want to shoot your musket?

Comparing historical spies to the modern surveillance state is like comparing the musket to the A-bomb.

Another option is to make smooth-bore musket types, in the past they were accurate up to 100 yards or so.

In a way, with this, each bullet is like a miniature percussion cap musket.

Its relatively straight forward to build a black powder musket in your garage though.

He was likely hit in the throat or chest by a musket ball.

I am not eager to see people have the right to upgrade that kind of musket to the pro version.

Hell, the guys who fletched arrows and cast musket balls were trusting they will be used justly and have always done so (or didn't care).

Needless to say, like the Revolutionary War smoothbore musket (not necessarily as useful for hunting as a slow to load back then rifle), today's "assault weapons" are the arms particularly suited for that duty.

Musket lacks of precision and relies on rotation firing squads in platoon to provide constant firepower.
