| Post subject: | Sample Shot Patterns for Muskets |
Gentlemen, Does anyone know of literature or real-world samples of shot patterns from muskets? I've always wanted to measure the exact deviations of, say, 25 or 30 shots fired from a musket at a specific range - - whether it be 50 feet or some other known range. I'm sure this pattern of deviation is likely to vary from musket to musket, it would be nice to have at least ONE sample of such a pattern. Using the basic principles of geometry, it would be easy to determine the increasing spread or "cone" shot as distance increased, and to actually measure the percentage probability that a 100 shot would hit a body mass (or a linear "rectangle" of body masses) at various ranges. Since I'm a little skeptical that anyone has actually written this up, would anyone actually OWN a musket, and would be willing to perform this study with 30 shot?
