3000 Mutinous Musketmen of Myanmar

I own a musket for country defence.

Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Well now that’s just embarrassing. They could just hit Cabelas and grab a Mossberg bolt action rifle for like $300.

Someone buy these poor boys a plane ticket.

Unironically they could probably trade in those muskets 1-1 for better guns here in the US, I'm sure collectors would love to pay a fair price even for the scuffed ones.

Those appear to be bolt action rifles.

Nah, look at it - those two in the front, at least, are caplocks. For comparison

Wait, do they realy use those for non ceremonial service?

Would real ceremonial muskets look that bare, chipped, and worn?

Budget cuts these days, i’m telling you…

Well, these are rebels in Myanmar. They use what they can get. The array of weapons they use is wild. I imagine the poor sods stuck with muskets are probably left guarding less-important areas, where something is better than nothing if shit goes down.

I mean if Russia is still fielding the Mosin in Ukraine I see no reason Myanmar wouldn’t field a bolt action.

Yeah lol I use mobile and do the finger slide typing thing it’s fast but you do occasionally get a funny typo.
