Just as the Founding Fathers intended.
Wait, do they realy use those for non ceremonial service?
I mean if Russia is still fielding the Mosin in Ukraine I see no reason Myanmar wouldn't field a bolt action.
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.
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.
