Small Fire Arms Demonstration

During the demonstration we learned that the soldiers used a flint lock, muzzle loading weapons. The US army consisted of regular soldiers and also the state militia. The regular army wore dark blue coats and gray pants while the militia was not as well dressed. The militia didn't have a specific uniform. The guns could be fired every twenty seconds and had to be done through a process of steps. We ended the demonstration with a contest to see who could shoot three bullets the fastest.
