Oh, yeah; as far as firing ball, sure. I've taken part in several competitions for accuracy and speed firing. When shooting for accuracy we use a .65 ball with a greased patch; for speed with use a .60 ball with 80 grains of powder which was the typical combat load of the Rev War. I once got off 5 shots in 1 minute...once. I got off 4 shots several times, but 3 is the standard.
