Mississippi Queen gun meme (musket)

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended

[BigWheel.]

That's a rifled musket. Very accurate.

Love how the 2 shots of the hammer hitting the pin are synced with the drums at 0:09

During the American Civil War, a Union general stepped over the firing line and told his men to “stop dodging enemy bullets, they couldn’t hit an elephant from there.”
A second later, he was struck by a stray bullet, which pierced his eye and lodged in his brain. He died immediately.

Bro knowing the context, this is hilarious

[Vessel]

It's even better if you know the context of who said it and how he died

[charley]

It's kinda crazy that this is ALL that a Civil war musket is, so simple yet so deadly

[conall]

For context, these were reportedly the last words of a Union officer in the Civil War, John Sedgwick, before catching a bullet below the left eye.

If the model being shown was an M1841 Mississippi Rifle, that would be even better.

As a history major, this has got to be the best Missippi Queen meme ive seen all year

[asclepiussss]

The Withworth sharpshooter uses a hexagonal bullet.

[zacharyrollick]

I need a rifle musket. Preferably something new from Pedersoli.

[austerloowaterlitz]

The fact that it’s synced to the music makes it even better.

Virgin Union General vs Chadfederate Marksman rifle

[NibNibNib]

The feel when the Whitworth rifle fires its first shot of the battle and kills a general, the furthest scopeless sniper shot in human history

[cowerdnerddespacito]

These ones based on movie scenes and historical moments are my favorite lo

[lethalweaboo]

When a rapscallion in your regiment thinks he see a brown bess instead of a Long Rifle

[ewqzlip]

Caught this soggy teabag dilly dayling on thy wrong street 😂

[Cosmonaut]

"blud are u dumb? Are u getting rude to a man?"

[barttheraven]

The fact that Mississippi was part of the Confederates makes this even funnier.
