ARS Technica: What else can we learn from these types of experiences?
Joel godsOne of the things that is very good about the end of its archeology is when we are looking for fire ammunition. I mostly work with archaeologists on the revolutionary war. One of my colleagues has worked on the firing impression on the battlefield of Little Bourne, which leaves fingerprints, so that he can track soldiers and native Americans on the battlefield. With [the Revolutionary War]It is difficult to do, because we are using smooth bore guns that do not necessarily leave the signature. But what they leave is a ability, and they leave a place. We prepare all these things and make a map of it, and He has told us about the battles that we never knew before. We had just done a job last August, which has not been released yet, where people believed that there was a fight.

We want to connect it with our direct fire studies. So when we [conduct the latter]We take a shot, then we detect the metal to every shot, make it bags, tag it. We record all the figures we see on our smiles that we fired so that when we are on archaeological plans, we can be associated with what we see in the earth. We can see if it is hit by a tree, if it collides with rocks, how close a soldier was when he fired – all of this was due to a ball malfunction.
ARS Technica: Compared to a modern rifle, what is the experience of shooting a meshk?
Joel gods: It’s very different. When you are firing on a modern rifle, you draw the trigger and it is very fast. With musk, it’s the same, but it is slow, and you can estimate the shot. When the cock goes down, attacks the grapefruit hammer, it flares the powder in the pan, which passes through the vent and eliminates the charge – it involves a lot of time. So you can guess and turn. You may not necessarily have the best shot as you will be on a more modern rifle. There is still a lot of kicks, and the use of black powder is too smoke. With modern smoking powder, you have much smoke than muscle.
