How did this thread turn into a gun thing? Oh well, I shall take this opportunity to ask a question.

I once watched a show about the weaponry used in Ye Olden Days. They were talking about muskets. They said that muskets were pretty devastating due to the fact that they launched a relatively slow-moving projectile. It was enough to enter a body, but not enough to exit. The projectile tended to make some pretty severe turns when it hit a human body based on the density of the flesh it encountered. If you were shot in the shoulder, the musket shell could sort of bounce around and end up in your heart.

Is this true or was that show just feeding me a line of BS? Ever since I watched that show I am more afraid of being shot with a musket than I am of being shot with a high-powered sniper rifle.
