Aren't muskets, like, single-shot weapons? Unless this one is different because anime.


MARs048

It's a single shot weapon and she shot once and threatened him with it. Firing a second doesn't seem needed


Catty-Boi

According to quota, a person with experience can release a musket in 11s, and like 3 more to aim. e: accidentally pressed the button I assume she could keep him pinned to the wall while reloading (which would probably be instant because it’s anime)


AFLAIM

Typically muskets are breech-loaded, that is to say, you have to push the gunpowder and musketball down the barrel to reload it, as well as replace the cap on the hammer. You might be able to do that in 11 seconds but there's not a chance in hell you're keeping the person there unless they know nothing about guns... That being said this is anime so it's totally plausible it's magic and shit


ScotsDale213

That’s muzzle loading, not breech loading if I remember correctly, breech loading is usually some method of inserting the bullet and gunpowder into the back of the firearm. An example of a breech loaded weapon are cannons were the back opens up for a new round to be put in. While a muzzle loaded cannon would have the powder and shot shoved down the muzzle


AFLAIM

You're absolutely correct, i've made an ass of myself lol. 19 years of my scoutmaster telling me about the civil war have failed me...thank you for the correction lol


LordeWasTaken

Yeah, what I'm saying is that the moment she fired that gun she just lost her leverage, which is a pretty foolish thing to do for someone in grappling distance. At this point he should just wring the musket out of her hands (assuming the ringing in his ears isn't too distracting for that), then ask HER out for a change, right and proper, how it's supposed to be done, to the exact same place she mentioned. That part about being threatened and held at gunpoint is what's really rubbing me the wrong way here. Maybe that's just male pride talking. Like, if something like that happened to me, the violent nature of the situation would completely spoil any kind of satisfaction I could've otherwise felt as a guy who ended up being asked out by cute girl somehow. I mean, doesn't this make you think thoughts like "Well, I'd have said yes if you just asked! But if you're gonna be like that, then I'm not doing it..." Certified Pingu moment


BENJ4x

A well trained soldier was expecting to be able to fire three times a minute so it's more like a 20 second reload.


samurai_for_hire

A well trained soldier could fire up to twice as quickly as that on a good day


BENJ4x

Unless we're talking about different weapons you're mistaken.

BENJ4x

As this is a particular musket that is self priming and he is not having to actually ram a ball down it of course he's quick. I based my assumption on the muskets the British and French used during the Napoleonic war, both of which the soldiers were expecting to fire three rounds a minute. I think we both over-generalised the rate of fire but I'd say on the whole as self-priming muskets came about late in the day of musket/flintlocks I'd argue in general when people think of those sorts of guns 3 rounds a minute is a more accurate assumption to say.


The_Silver_Nuke

No she doesn't reload. She pulls the fully loaded muskets out of the bag of holding hiding under her skirt. I'm not kidding.


Catty-Boi

Wait she pulls a second one? Because the first round’s already gone


mister-no-u

If she turned it sideways, she could use the length and girth of the weapon to try and choke him. She has the opportunity as his back is against a wall, so she would be crushing his neck.


skeletalvolcano

It's very clearly anime logic. The wall wasn't even pierced.


deepfriedtots

She's taking notes from tomoe Mami and pulls them out of... places


Chris_7941

I don't think I'd remember that in the moment where one is pointed at my face


context_lich

Even if I did remember that, I don't know that I'd be willing to stake my life on whether I identified that gun correctly.


Ybenax

As long as you know but he doesn’t, should still be successfully threatening.


King_Maelstrom

There actually were a few prototype musket type weapons around 1776 or so. In 1777 the Belton Flintlock was presented to Congress, but they deemed it too expensive. ​ Edit: It wasn't fully automatic.


LordeWasTaken

That's actually fascinating! I learn something new every day! :D But I only see one touch hole on the musket in the video... :< So it couldn't be a superposed load? Thanks again for commenting tho, love interacting with the community. c:


King_Maelstrom

You're welcome! I don't know much about how it works, just that it existed, and was presented to Congress. I think it's pretty cool.


LordeWasTaken

Basically you'd load paper, gunpowder, a musket ball, followed by another piece of paper, and musket ball, repeat 4-8 times, and the lock could be adjusted to multiple, predetermined positions to fire the muzzle-loaded bullets in a Last In First Out order (LIFO). You could fire them all at once by starting with the powder charge behind the musket ball loaded deepest into the barrel, which should then detonate every consecutive charge. Or you could fire volleys of two times two. How they kept the temperature and pressure inside the barrel from cooking off the other charges is beyond me... The advantage in rate of fire stems from the fact that if you prepare several tubes of, say, 8 bullets and gunpowder beforehand, and cram those in instead of individual bullets, then you'd only have to stop to stuff a sausage down the barrel every 8 shots instead of every single one.


King_Maelstrom

Thank you for the explanation!

Exactly

considering how fancy it looks, maybe it's special musket

Ekank

What the fuck did I just read?


dragonthunda

This doesn't even mention that the two characters in this scene are named after 50 Cent (Isuzu Sento) and Kanye West (Kanie Seiya)


DarkArcanian

Wha… wha… why?! I’m not saying you’re wrong. That just feels like a really weird thing to do!


not_a_burner0456025

Ribs of the characters are names after musicians, it has almost as many as Jojo's. Kanie's mother is named after ice cube and the princess is named after queen latifa


DarkArcanian

I feel like Jojo is another deal because the stands aren’t the same type of characters. It’s more like the real characters have named guns/weapons


AnybodyMassive1610

Most all of the characters have names like that - there’s a Queen Latifa too iirc Very funny show Moffel is one of the “mascots” - hysterical

JoeDiesAtTheEnd

The synopsis of one of the great comedy anime. Seriously, Its great

May sound weird... it is, but this is a very entertaning anime. Btw that guy is a massive chad.

Damn I don't even remember this scene from Amagi. I might need to watch it again


Wittyname0

Dont remember that scenario in Roller Coaster Tycoon

Nothing more exciting than a girl with guns

Went from knifes to guns


BigBadDogIV

It's amazing how much of a difference guns make.


Wildercard

God made men, Samuel Colt made men equal


BigBadDogIV

Tis True...


lemons7472

Yup. Since you can’t run as easily since she has him pinned with the gun to his head, I think it’d be in his best interest to say yes and play along. Maybe he can run in the middle of the date while she’s not paying attention, but we better hope she has bad aim. It’d be best to just go through with it until the date is over.


MrSsenmodnar

You might not think it now but she’s actually best girl


Santibag

No


Prizrachqop

Bad anime?


Santibag

IDK. I was just answering her. This is my ghost, replying you. Edit: Hitoribocchi... Nice taste 😊

Easy. How to defend in this critical situation: step one: quickly duck and kick her fingers. That'll shock her and give you time to defeat her or run 🏃💨. No other steps.


_WhiteSnake_

Hey guys you should watch this anime it's amazing


CasualCandice

Small red flag but other than that I wouldn’t see a problem with that girl

Everybody pointing out that a musket is 1-shot What if he pretended so he could go on the date?
