Talk:List of US States (Flintlocks Forever)

How does America possibly defeat the Natives or even the Mexicans with flintlock rifles?

A bow and arrow is a better weapon than a flintlock musket. Russia should also not have been able to defeat the Turks living to its east who were armed with bows able to hit a target at 400 yards. The Qing dynasty and Indian kingdoms should not have been albe to be concured by western powers. Even Africa would probubly not have been colonized as many natives had flintlock rifles and were defeated by neighbors with spears or Europeans with rifles.
