A musket ball is a small lead ball fired from a primitive gun called a musket and is quite possibly the deadliest fucking thing known to mankind. These little killers are FAR larger than a modern military round (the caliber of 5.56 NATO is .22 while the caliber of a Brown Bess musket is FUCKING .75). If you compare being shot by a modern rifle to being stabbed by a knife, then bring hit by a musket ball is being stabbed by a fucking fist. What makes these little fucking murderers so deadly are the fact that they are large and slow projectiles, like a small cannon. Records from the American Civil War show limbs that have been blown clean off from the torso and exit wounds the size of grapefruits. Possibly the most brutal and badass innovation of warfare ever designed (as long as you don't get hit by one).
