Why does skin colour even enter into it?No, he's White.

And I think they're all crap. I'd rather have the matchlock musket my great-great-great-grandfather brought to the US in the 1850s than one of those.I'm not talking about that.
The M4 is a carbine and the A1 is better
Uh, I can out shoot you, reload, and unload a second mag by the time you get two shots offAnd I think they're all crap. I'd rather have the matchlock musket my great-great-great-grandfather brought to the US in the 1850s than one of those.
No, I'm with him, I'd rather have the matchlock too. A vintage 1850s matchlock would go for a fortune at auction and I could use part of that to buy a modern rifle and bank the rest.Uh, I can out shoot you, reload, and unload a second mag by the time you get two shots off

The antique percussion cap rifles used back then outrange an M4 and it's not even funny. My big sister's 1853 Enfield is calibrated for 1,600yds and my big sis Euphie doesn't need a scope to hit something further away.No, I'm with him, I'd rather have the matchlock too.

My dude, the target used by an 1853 Enfield to test accuracy (at 600 yards) was six feet across with the center two feet the bullseye. Being able to hit said target 7 times with 20 rounds ranked the shooter as a marksman. Modern weapons aren't less accurate, they're simply measured on a much, much tighter standard where the entire target is smaller than the Enfield's bullseye alone was, and a modern soldier would be expected to hit far more than 1 in 3 shots to be called a marksman.The antique percussion cap rifles used back then outrange an M4 and it's not even funny.

The rate of fire is slow. Getting hit by a 0.58" Minié Ball, however, is not pleasant as many accounts of just how horrible US Civil War injuries were.

She's a much better shot than what the movie did to impress the audience.
Honoring that request would breach TS's "no doxing" rule. Stating my big sister's given name was kinda pushing it.Pics or it didn't happen.
Nothing stopping you from censoring or leaving out the face and just showing the shot itself.Honoring that request would breach TS's "no doxing" rule. Stating my big sister's given name was kinda pushing it.
That's not actually doxing and doesn't violate any rules, but it does open you/your sister to potential doxing, so it's understandable to not share itHonoring that request would breach TS's "no doxing" rule. Stating my big sister's given name was kinda pushing it.
They're not.Bolt guns are obsolete
If you have to state your race without it being relevant when you say something you're full of shit.

These people are so mentally-deficient that I wouldn't even bat an eye if their non-White overseers ordered them to jump off a cliff, and they actually went through with it.
