I've always wanted to shoot one of the Revolution era muskets.

Had a lot of fun with my Pennsylvania flintlock rifle. There's no "speed" involved since it's real pickey about what gets poked down the barrel and how it's done.

Took a LONG time to work up my load...it's sensitive to patching material, patch orientation, patch lube, powder charge and spru orientation... but when loaded the way it likes, it'll hit a beer can at 100 yards on a regular basis.
