    Haha you're right, but still a nice idea. Likewise, I can't wait till we can shoot some real yankees! Our poor boys are tired of wearing the blue coats for our skirmishing It's going to be awesome.

    I think what Rhett was trying to say was more on the lines of the amount of shots in a perfect volley, not so much the specific sounds of blank rounds.
    This is what I mean “These volleys of musketry we were approaching sounded in the distance like the rapid pouring of shot upon a tin pan, or the tearing of heavy canvas, with slight pauses interspersed with single shots, or desultory shooting.”

    Now for a real civil war battle it will sound more like this since in this video they are all live fireing .

    that sound there is a lot like paper just being shot from smokeless powder rifles... but also very random overly spaced shots.

    https://youtu.be/ZNK7cS2tJgg?t=1m23s this may be a little better

    like the idea tho for skirms or Cav!!!

    Everyone is talking about the sound but what about that lovely smell?

    Always one think I would smell of for days after a reenactment, oh and wood smoke.
