Mr. 16 gauge,
You should be a film consultant. I liked seeing all the flintlocks in the movie. Revolutionaly War cannon balls were solid shot and not the high explosive stuff portrayed in the movie. I think HE came about in the Civil War.
I agree that we do see more historically accurate equipment in recent movies. I also agree that many viewers would not know the difference. In the movie "Blue Max" (WWI) the British troops had No.1 MkIII .303 caliber rifles while the German troops in the trenches had No.4 MkIs that did not see production until the 1930s.
