Do you fancy yourself a man of the Orient, do you masturbate to their woodblock carvings? for what reason would a swords stop a boar enraged and set upon thy loins?

A spear is the only sensible answer.

Rifles of the German Style are of the most excellent quality, two fowlers are enough to take birds and small beast for the table, a bunderbuss would be an entertaining proposition but one for joviality, not practicality.

A hunting sword is for dispatching game, and self defense from brigands.

Got me self a large capacity repeating rifle from Girardoni. It cost a fortune, but it has a 20 ball repeating capacity and an air reservoire for around 50 shots with enough power to stop a man. It can be shot from a prone position and has no smoke marking your position. It has quite a bang, but it is not that bad.

I'm thankful i was able to get my hands on one. These deadly weapons will probably stay in use with only elite military units once they catch on. I'm sure by 1900, all militaries will use air repeaters and not these silly and more dangerous smoking powder guns.

>it must be fun working with cannons all day

Indeed it is.

>I'm curious what the budgets for things like black powder and cannon balls

I am not privy to the numbers, but as a museum revolving around the American Revolutionary war, keeping us in powder is rather important. In general both Military Programs and the musket range have enough powder through budget and donations.

The budget for cannon balls is non existant, as we never live-load cannon. While we have hundreds of rounds of ball, bar/chain shot, case etc, we have no need, means or inclination to shoot anything other than powder and wad.

Remind yourself this: There is no such thing as a backstop for cannon fire.

> where do you even find those?
Black powder can be bought from Walmart (F, FF, and FFF). Cannon balls and shot are made of lead or stone, and were either made on site, or purchased from cannon round making companies.

>>33239877

>>33239891
If you have no reenacting knowledge or skills, you'd probably be looking at about $11-12 an hour being what essentially is "costumed guest services", working historic area retail or working in manual labour like the historic brickyard. The local perks (free/discount stuff all over the state etc), and bennefits are great though.

There is no union. They are either private museums (like Colonial Williamsburg), or state/national museums (like Jamestown Settlement

>>33240183
And all the cannon we use are repros. Decades ago, we used originals, but they have all been retired and put on display.

>>33240256
So the discounts are more of an informal agreement among peers?

>>33240267
They are made with steel sleeves these days, right?

>>33240344
Oh, no. We have a huge book of where we get stuff. Gyms, resturants, themeparks, specialists (chiropractors etc), other museusm, book stores... Full timers get access to credited college courses (we have college profs come to our facillities)

And I am unaware if any of our guns are sleeved or not. Leaning to them not being sleeved.

>>33240385
>We have a huge book of where we get stuff
so like extreme couponing but in groups?

>Leaning to them not being sleeved
Nvm I was thinking about Civil War reenacting regulations regarding sleeved cannons. amazing there are still places that will cast cannons but when I think about it it probably isn't too far out there given the tech has probably made it easier than ever to do so. Do you proof them or not bother because it'll be blanks only for its life?

>>33240451
>so like extreme couponing but in groups?
Not quite.

The two things that keep Williamsburg alive, are the Museums and the Theme parks. CW has been possibly the single biggest source of tourist revenue for the city for over 60 years.

It behooves the local businesses to support the employees as such. Little things add up. The fact that I get a discount every time I eat at some local restaurants means I am much more likely to eat there. If the local 24 hour gym offers us half price memberships, then they still come out ahead. Savy?

>Do you proof them or not bother because it'll be blanks only for its life?

If it fires, its proofed. Every pistol. Every long arm. Every artillery piece. No exceptions.

For several programs, we will put the guns on sustained fire for a full 15 minutes. For example, Christmas eve. You want your weapons proofed. I did musket with several others in my unit, and shot three whole cartridge boxes before my Charleville got too hot to physically load.

>>33240558
I never had the chance to go and with work probably wont be able to in at least a decade, will it still be around and as good as it is now?

>>33240706
>I never had the chance to go and with work probably wont be able to in at least a decade, will it still be around and as good as it is now?

I cannot tell what programs will be in or out or what the BoD will have decided by then, but I can pretty much assure you the museum will still be doing its thing.

>Christmas eve volleys sound dope as shit.
Oh, you misunderstand. Its not a volley.

Its literally two sections of muskets (and this year, the wall gun), and two cannon being fired at will, as fast as we can, for 15 minutes straight. Its like poor colonial fireworks.

>Whats the proofing set up like?
No clue, that is the artificer's dept. Its far off site, thats all I know.

Methinks you're being a tad redundant, lad.

The barrel maker would do the initial proof (gunsmith =/= barrel maker necessarily), with their initial production stamp. After that, the smith would after assembly and give it again with their mark. Likewise, when a public or state armoury purchased guns/barrels for militia or military usage, they would do their own second proofing.

Usually none. We literally have 30~ish Brittish short land patterns (Brown besses) in standard rotation, not counting the various other military arms (Charlevilles, Long Lands, etc).

Then we have the pieces that are functional repros, that are not currently in rotation. Enough to fill the magazine. We literally have a company's worth of functional muskets. This is not counting our pistols, blunderbusses, civilian arms, rifles, hand mortars..... Pic related. One of 12 walls in the two story magazine.

Nothing formal, but several of us long time competitors/practitioners get together to teach basics (my smallsword and trainer >>33239877)

I use several manuals, including various Italian and French translations. It really depends on the weapon I am working with. My love of the smallsword leans me to the use of Capoferro and Fabris's rapier plays, though they are earlier. For English, I am a firm fan of Blackwell (pic related).

I also have various PDFs and books for other weapons, including hanger, single stick/broadsword, partisan etc.

Alchem safe flex dagger blades literally slot into a modular tang block, so you can replace the blade easier when it forms a bend or starts to stress fracture.

My goal is to one day figure out a safe form of wadding/charge like simunitions, and eventually try a contact-oriented skirmish.

Just be straight with him Gropey. Museum work is in low demand when compared to the broader economy. Particularly in light of El Hefe's dictums to cut the NEA, etc.

Obviously every location and museum budget is different. Most of the costumed interpreters at CW, for example, make anywhere from 11-17$ an hour (so, less than $35000/yr on the upper end). The cost of living in this area is abysmally high, particularly housing.
Long term growth in museums is challenging, and often relies on hopping around (perhaps not so different than other industries), or returning to education. Curatorship in particular is a means of security in position and pay.
For other comparative purposes, the 401k is 1% match, the health insurance is getting dicier each year.

>>33247433
Hey fellow VAfag. Last I checked, we had two interpreters doing RIR, but only for certain programs, as they have several roles to fill. I do know the foundation put a job posting specifically for it up recently.

>>33247446
>What's wrong with standard blanks that make then unsafe? They're just paper.

Shooting paper is lame. You're not actually shooting anyone.
I am talking a dense foam or wax wad, with a half charge. We're going to test a few this spring.

>Also I thought you already did contact in reenacting.

Reenactors rarely touch eachother. Im talking about historic fencing with musket fire.

>>33247461
I know, right?

>>33247484
>Wasnt there a sport that used paint balls and a light black powder charge?

No clue, but im going to avoid paint or anything that will ruin clothes. I want something that will hit with decent force, so you know you got hit, but wont kill you if you're wearing a padded coat and a fencing mask.

>>33247500
>Just be straight with him Gropey. Museum work is in low demand when compared to the broader economy. Particularly in light of El Hefe's dictums to cut the NEA.

I fully agree, but again, it all depends on what you can bring to the table. If you have something a museum wants, they will find the money.

Living right outside the city isn't bad, but all of VA is over priced by my standard (Louisiana native).

>Curatorship in particular is a means of security in position and pay.

I will end your days through an exhibition of accuracy the likes of which has never been seen before on this earth; do not dismiss my claims. You think I'll allow you to slander me in such a manner? Reconsider your assumption. As we speak, I'm contacting my network of spies across the 13 colonies and your postal address is being traced right now, so you had better prepare for the storm, worm. The storm that wipes out that pathetic little thing you call a tea party. You're most certainly doomed, my boy. I can be anywhere, anytime, and tax you in over 700 ways, and that's just with my tariffs alone. Not only am I extensively trained in unfair taxation, but I have access to the finest weaponry available to the British Army, and I will use it to its full extent to remove your miserable arse from our continent, you insignificant turd. If only you could have forseen what unholy retribution your little snide remark was about to bring down upon you, perhaps you would have rescinded your claim. But you were unable, unwilling, and now you shall pay the price, you foolish buffoon. I will shit imperial fury all over you, and you will drown in it. I'm afraid you're done for, my boy.

Appreciate the help guys, I was only looking at doing reenacting/interpreting as a side job while I was in college to get a little spending money and also just to have fun. Wasn't really considering it as a full time job or anything.

Kek I I may have seen you the other day. You work in the Wheelwright shop?

>>33250041
He does good work in /tg/, mostly in the larp or weapons threads.

Flintlock vs. Matchlock vs. Wheellock, the ultimate debate rages on.

The gun I posted is the version I will get, a caplock version of a flintlock gun designed in the 18th century
Stop being a fucking sperglord

>>33251843
To be fair, it IS an 18thC thread, and you ARE a gigantic faggot.

>>33252167
Quit being sodomite.

>>33252207
It is, and I posted an 18th century gun design, only with caplock instead of flint, triggering an autist.

By that metric, any blackpowder weapon counts. Breechloaders existed in the 1600s.

Also, I have it on good sources that you enjoy being sodomized by other men.

Dude, just quit being cancer. No one cares that you are an uneducated queer.

>>33252316
IRL? Where did you get it? Modern or antique? My bro brought one back from his last tour.

>>33252351
I'm not being cancer, the autist sperging over a percussion version of an 18th century gun is.

>>33252356
So why not just post an 18thC gun in the 18thC thread instead of a 19thC gun?

Plenty of matchlocks still in use in the 1700s. Mostly the poor, Natives and late-war desperation.

Too much bulging on the barrel, I would not want to fire it ever. 58 inch barrel to boot.
