I'm sorry, UNLOADING A MUZZLE LOADER? I assume this is after a misfire or something? I'm gonna hard pass on that.
Very interesting video.
If you had loaded a gun anticipating an attack that never came you had to either use one of these or fire off the round and make all you fellow soldiers think they're being attacked.
Or if you accidentally load it multiple times.
I like the name.
