Anybody else catch this show on the History Channel on Friday night? I like "the Gunny" (R. Lee Ermy) as much as anybody, but he got some extremely important facts wrong. He said that American muzzleloading longrifles had a lead ball that "bounced" down the barrel. Neither he nor his computer model mentioned anything about a lubricated patch that hugged the rifling to give the ball a good spin on the way out the barrel.
