Flintlock Muzzle-Loading Musket

This past weekend was the #bicentennial anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon was defeated by the combined armies of the #British and Prussians, and which marked the transition of #Europe into a four-decade-long peace that would only be interrupted by the #CrimeanWar in 1853.

#Waterloo occurred in an era of #flintlock primed #blackpowder weapons, two examples being the India Pattern Musket (a variant of the famous Brown Bess) and the Model 1805 Baker Rifle. #RoyalArmouries released slow-motion footage of both weapons being fired in time for the anniversary:
