Two brown Flintlock Musket models?

[Tanotrooper]

why?

think again:

the minifig hand fits better on the new ones, because it goes with its 2 fingers (:p) into the cut out triangle, instead of a less strong connection with the older type of musket.

I have to check these myself, although I'm sure about those black star wars muskets.

I saw 11 imperial soldiers on bricklink from germany once for 4$ or something, and thought: "I have to buy these before Bonaparte does". Now my french army counts 33 men... And a cuirassier without armour, head or helmet :p

BTW, I have way more muskets than soldiers :D

All of my muskets are in old brown... I'd have to search more carefully to see how many new muskets I have, but so far, after getting a short glimpse at my Lego, I found only 1, the rest of them are the old ones. Here's a picture of the old one and the new one that I took this morning.

In my honest opinion, I couldn't care less about these designs really. It's still the offspring of a blunderbuss and a musket. If it looks like it shoots, issue them to the troops!

I do use the black muskets though as rifles, cos I dun feel right bringing in Western rifles into the era, seeing as the only real difference between a musket and rifle in appearance was the size of the gun (rifles were shorter I think) and the bayonets. (Sword bayonets, for the freaking win!)
