Not a flint lock but rather a match lock.

Me thinks eye protection would have been a good idea!!

Use Enough Gun
I wouldn't have stood that close to any vehicle while shooting that thing. It also appears that the second shooter shot a heavier load than the first.

No people in history have ever
survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves
inoffensive to their enemies.

YES !!!!! for eye protection.

And the second guy definitely took a bigger hit.

Fellow Americans,
You must take in consideration that it is Imperial British Gentlemen (sic!) that are shooting the 2 Bore, and thus, they would never ever use any sort of funny looking eye protection.

Rather have one or both eyes blown to pieces as long as you are acting like a true Gentleman.!

The bigger man maybe needed an ego bruising. I haven't shot anything as large. My .577 homemade inline does all I want in recoil. 705 gr Minnie with 120 gr FFg. It lets a whitetail know it is dead. No telegraph needed. Packy
