Flintlock rifle?

How do you know those are rifles and not just muskets? Excalibur01 14:06, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

The time period warrants the use of flintlocks. and if you have seen the movie the delay between the "Snap" and the "Blast" are very great-user:SargeOverkill

anyway look at the frizzen and striker, which are those of a flintlock.

He's not disputing the fact that they're flintlocks, but whether or not they're rifles, with rifled barrels, or muskets, with smoothbore barrels. Only one of those "rifles" actually looks like a rifle, the rest look like muskets. --funkychinaman 14:41, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

oh i see. sorry. i agree, most of them look unrifled.-User:SargeOverkill

Hey I'm the creator of the page. I don't know too much about firearms from this period of time, I just identified them to the best of my ability. I admit that I didn't even think of the difference between smooth bore and rifled weapons when I built the page. Anyone who is more knowledgable feel free to correct the page how they wish. - Diego Wolfwood

I may be wrong, but I think that generally the only way to tell a musket apart from a rifle externally was whether it had sights, and, like chinaman said, only one of the weapons appeared to have them. It was one of the flintlocks held by the villagers. The rest appear to be muskets.--Mr-Jigsaw 20:52, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
