Yes, someone can survive being shot by a flintlock musket, as the lethality of the injury depends on various factors such as the location of the wound, the type of projectile used, and the medical treatment received afterward. Flintlock muskets typically fire lead balls, which can cause serious injury or death if they hit vital organs. However, non-fatal wounds are possible, especially if the shot strikes less critical areas of the body. Immediate and effective medical care can significantly improve survival chances after such injuries.

The first significant conflict in which flintlock muskets were widely used was the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). This war marked a turning point in military technology, with flintlock muskets gradually replacing matchlocks due to their greater reliability and ease of use. The flintlock mechanism allowed for quicker firing and better weather resistance, influencing infantry tactics in subsequent wars.
The Charlville musket was in use from 1717 until 1840. It was .69 calibre and had a flintlock firing system.
Reloading Flintlock pistols typically took about 15 to 30 seconds, while Flintlock muskets, being larger and requiring more powder and shot, could take around 30 seconds to a minute. The process involved pouring gunpowder down the barrel, inserting a lead ball, and then priming the pan with more powder. Factors like the user's experience and the condition of the weapon could significantly affect reload times. Overall, the reloading process was time-consuming compared to modern firearms.
