          I hope for his sake he just means he doesn't like the aesthetic. He's still wrong, but at least it's entirely subjective and therefore defensible

    10 minutes ago in Africa? I alos hope the Ukrainian Musket Anon is OK and managed to upgrade his Tula flintlock smoothbore into something rifled at least, maybe a nice Jaeger rifle.

      I remember that thread, I wonder if they actually did kill anyone with all those hand grenades

      I hoped he looked into guerrilla warfare like I recommended, and didn't just shoot at the first Russians he saw

        >"Heavens!" cried Lord Chesterfield . "I've not seen scoundrels so haughty since the alleys of faire Ire!" The Hottentot brave crunched below his Range Rovers tyre. "Had I known i'd face ruffians of such magnitude i'd have brought my maservant Singh. While no Gurkha, he nonetheless is well versed in the brown arts of combat from his time in the Punjab!" Mgunthulethu winced as he saw his friend Ngongwe soar over the Englishmans bonnet. Though well trained in the Zulu combat styles of Karjakingmenglu, they were no match for the metal elephant before them, built of Sheffield steel at Shartingham upon Dumpford.

    Pretty sure the Austro Hungarian empire was issuing black powder rifles towards the very end of ww1 but I could be confusing them with someone else.

      I'd push a cactus needle down my pee hole for a super grade level 1803 Harpers Ferry.

    I'm sure there was some tribesman with a blackpowder rifle sniping Soviets in the mountains of Afghanistan.

    There is a hill tribe in Yunnan province China that is specifically exempt from China's firearms laws and permitted to use traditional smooth-bore black powder flintlocks for hunting.
    Yunnan province borders Myanmar and the hill tribes hate the Myanmar regime as much as anyone and the border is often a bit porous there at the best of times, let alone in the middle of a civil war. They'd be mad to take potshots at Chinese police or anything but I could see their hunters sniping Myanmar patrols that got too close to their turf.

      You know, if China were to loosen their laws on black powder guns, we'd see the most insane bullshit spring up practically overnight for bargain basement prices

        I guess their issue is that beyond the CCP being repressive as a matter of course, that they got a shitload of Muslims that periodically go on sprees of terrorist attacks already. Shit where several dozen people at once get stabbed to death level stuff.
        Although given the incidence rate (pre-their lockdown of the entire Uyghur ethnicity), perhaps some civilian firearms ownership would have helped. Certainly it proved that access to firearms doesn't suddenly create terrorism. Nor will taking them away stop terrorism.

    We'll probably see some poor 76 year old Russian conscript drop his CO with one during a Crimean feint in a few months.
