Mission Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Ah, thank you muchly! Interesting that most of the wounds appear to have been shot of some form or another. I wonder if they referred to splinters caused by cannon balls as being caused by gunshot? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbuckler 1700 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Ah, thank you muchly! Interesting that most of the wounds appear to have been shot of some form or another. I wonder if they referred to splinters caused by cannon balls as being caused by gunshot? I think both made enough splinters to cause damage. Even muskets were quite a guns. One clear example that men prefered firearms. I have heard from many (Yankee) documentaries that the musket could take your leg off but they are (too often) not be trusted( since the style is so often too scandal-seeking). This is not topic but is that a myth that the musket can took one's leg off? "I have not yet Begun To Fight!"John Paul Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
