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.

Pros and cons of flintlock muskets?
There are multiple advantages and disadvantages to flintlock muskets both compared to ancient and modern arms. A flintlock by its name uses a stone (flint) to ignite the powder charge. Flints do wear out, requiring monitoring, sharpening and replacement. Rifles that use percussion caps gain a level of simplicity and disposability in comparison. In comparison to modern arms the carrying of black powder is both a risk, and that it can become unusable if wet. Modern firearms that use cartridges simplify the issue by making the powder charge, primer and projectile one sealed assembly.
