Mfw rifled barrel with cartridge

If you need a rifled barrel to hit your target, you're just a bad shot. Back in my day, we used to shoot cans with our smoothbores from five miles away, in the snow, up a hill, and with 69mph side winds.

Smoothbores? You had it easy. With our 180-degree roughbores we had to be extremely good at dodging to not kill ourselves every time we used them. Now those weapons sorted the men out from the boys.

Imagine having arms too weak to use a long bow. Can't relate
