These slow motion images are shocking.-It's showing quite clearly that the bone is disintegrating on the impact. The limb would have to be removed. There was no bone left. -Terrifying really. You can see the bone flexing as the bullet approaching.

-A little bit sick, really. I thought it was absolutely horrific.

-You don't want to hit by this. The power of a musket is terrifying in close range. But how easy was it for a soldier like Matthew Clan to hit his target? Who better to test its accuracy than a modern army sharpshooter? The Indian pack musket weighs almost exactly the same as a modern army combat rifle.

-So it adopted the kneeing position, just as you normally would. But the Waterloo weapon was notoriously unreliable. If the mechanism got wet, the gun might not fire at all, as Matthew Clan would later discover to its cost. -Good shoot! -That is actually in the right circus down to the right man.

-Yeah. Strong shoulder.

-You can hit the target.
