What is musket ammunition?
Muskets are muzzle loaded weapons. This means the gunpowder, wad and bullet are all loaded down the barrel and packed into the bottom of the barrel using a ramrod. Therefore, they don't use conventional brass cased ammunition like that used in modern firearms. The powder is black powder or a black powder substitute. The wad is thin leather or cloth and is wrapped around the bullet itself and forced down the barrel to seat atop the powder charge. The bullet is cast lead round balls or the Minie ball, also made of cast lead. Muskets are usually around .50 caliber, but that can vary. Sometimes the powder, wad and bullet were all wrapped in paper making a complete cartridge but the end had to be ripped off and the powder still had to be poured into the barrel first.Hope this helps!
What is origin of the idiom shoot the wad?
In some current American slang it is a reference to male ejaculation; however the phrase has a very long history covering most of the time that muskets have been in use up to the present. The wad is a piece of paper put in the muzzle along with the projectile and gun powder. If the shooter is too hasty -- say in a tense battle -- they may not include the projectile. The result is a fire without the intended bullet; only the wad will fly out...a wasted shot. Hence, "shooting your wad" can mean expending your energy fruitlessly. The OED also references the wad as in a roll of paper money; in this case "shooting your wad" means blowing all your cash at once.
