A musket fired at close range can produce a noise level of around 140-170 decibels, which is similar to a jet engine taking off.
I believe that it was called grapeshot.
Musket loops are small metal rings or hooks attached to the stock of a musket or rifle. They are used to attach a sling or strap to the weapon, allowing the user to carry it more easily. Musket loops are typically located near the butt of the gun and are an important accessory for military firearms used in the past.

You are NOT supposed to put the ramrod back into the barrel if you want to fire the musket. It would go back in its slot.
A smoothbore shoulder fired weapon in use from the late 16th through the 18th century.
The lock, the stock, and the barrel. The lock is the mechanism with hammer, trigger, pan, and other parts to fire the musket. The stock is the wooden furniture which allows the operator to hold and aim the musket. The barrel is the tube through which the projectile is fired, exactly like a modern weapon, except that musket barrels were smooth bored like a shotgun instead of rifled.
somone could die if it gets fired at them. oh a loud bang goes of aswell :)
Crockett had a rifle, which he called Old Betsy. A rifle has spiral grooves inside the barrel, which make the bullet spin when it is fired out of the barrel. In the same way a quarterback tries to spin the football when throwing a pass, this made the bullet fired from a rifle much more accurate than those fired from a musket. A musket is a smooth-bore weapon - no grooves inside the barrel, therefore no spin on the bullet. A musket shot is more like a knuckleball in baseball - no spin, liable to go anywhere, even a puff of wind can change its course, and musket balls do not have as long a range as rifle balls. As far as I know some Mexican wound up with Crockett's rifle after he died at the Alamo in 1836. Photography had not yet been invented.
Nominally, whatever size the bore of the musket is, although musket balls were usually considerably smaller than the bore in order to reduce powder fouling in the bore. The British Brown Bess was .75 calibre (but fired a .71 calibre musket ball), the French Charleville musket was .69 calibre (these were also commonly used by what would become the United States during the American Revolution), the smoothbore Springfield Muskets were .69 calibre, while the rifled muskets were .58 calibre... just to put a few out there.
Some areas within a gun factory will be loud- metal and wood working machines, and areas where guns are test fired.
