Supposedly knows how to hunt already, still has to be taught how to use a rifle properly lol

 

[warm_panties]

do muskets have rifling? also he should've done MLG 360 no scope that way he will land properly.

The hell is up with the edited commentary. Gun looks like an 1860 Spencer carbine, sights are barrel mounted forward. To be fair, period sights were crummy...

Simo Häyhä is looking at this "frontier nobleman" in disgust - if his family is a poor as he made out to be and he's had to hunt for food from the word "go," how the hell does he need shooting instruction from some lowland soldier?

@Khrysaor Damn, that was a real thing. I was already wondering why the rifle is using pistol cartridges (no need to talk about submachine guns yet), but it actually was. I guess that shows rifles with metal cartridges were still pretty new technology at that point.

Thanks for the info!

@sylvacoer If it goes to show, he was probably not taught how to properly use a rifle while moving on a sled (standing still and on a sled are entirely different and it doesn't really make sense why his grandfather wouldn't teach him, unless he died before he could properly teach him, but I'll leave it to my suspension of disbelief), or that he has only hunted small game using what is essentially an 1800's small game shot gun.
In regards to military training, a seasoned and trained soldier should be just as good, if not better, than a seasoned hunter. The game may be different, but the skill sets are always the same, whether it be man, or other animal.
Besides, from context clues, it really does look like his grandpa died before properly teaching him how to shoot things or use a gun even. And also from context clues, he never got better because if you keep practicing the wrong way.

I do admit its pushing his incompetence a little to far considering he had a decent posture with the blunderbuss in chapter 5.

The rabbit gun wasn't a musket, it was an early type of shotgun called a blunderbuss. Just sayin'

Also, what flintlock?? I could very visibly see a typical hammer.

To me, the rifle looks like a Winchester model 1873 with an octagonal barrel. Some were made that way.

I want to be friends with the translator so bad their notes are absolutely cracking me up and bring me joy. I appreciate all the context and sharing how it actually works!! I really enjoy stories that share processes like this in detail. Like, that's why I liked the Little House on the Prairie series when I was growing up because it went into detail about how they did stuff like hunting and food preservation, and I loved those details. I have a mild functional knowledge of things (enough to know you gotta clean your game first thing LOL), but there's a lot of stuff I don't know, and the little notes from the translator make me really happy. Thanks for sharing all that stuff I think it's really cool.
