Ironsights...?

[Ruler of Calradia]

90% of posters think its ridiclious "hollywood" idea... And still 40% voted "yes"! What the hell people??? If you know so little of this era, why even bother playing this mod? Everyone knows there wasn`t irong sights in muskets 
And for example, googel "musket", you can`t find real one that has iron sight

 

[Phalanx300]

Then why would they have ironsights if theyre not used?

To aim it properly before you fire?

Derp...

Double Derp...

You still have to point it in the right direction and aim, even if you put your head away afterwards.

Useless discussion+useless vote

Iron sights. For a gun that can barely hit anything at 50 metres.

Right. Yeah.

Muskets didnt have iron sights. Even if they were introduced, because of nature of M&B, to use them properly in first your player would literally have to put the centre of the musket in the middle of his face.

I have 3 replicas on muskets. 2 Charleville, 1 Brown Bess. All have ironsights. They are just small bits of metal that stick out of the front of the barrel.

That's a bayonet lug, not a sight.

its not. Bayonet lugs are square. These are pinched bits of metal.

Also the lug is underneith the barrel, these are on top

Underneath the gun? That's where the ramrod is, doesn't seem like a bayonet would fit well there. Do you have pictures of it?

Spoiler: Brown Bess India Pattern

Spoiler: Charleville M1777

I see one bayonet lug and no iron sight on both of them. Maybe your replica wasn't researched well?

 

[marchal davout]

iron sight is behind the bayonet thingy

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Grasping at straws...

 

[marchal davout]

How? That is clearly the ironsight

 

[Azrooh]

What is that thing? Looks like a cross between a Charleville and a Brown Bess..
Also, looking over that sight, it looks like every single pistol and musket has an iron sight. I'm not sure they're overly trustworthy in the historical department.

Really, look at this:

Why would you need a sight on something that doesn't shoot straight past 10 yards?

Its a cherleville because of the rings aroung the barrel. That picture is linked with Henry Crank, a historical firearms and weapons dealer.

Its just there to help aim it. Its just there to assist

Then your Charleville fixes a British bayonet. The lug should be under the barrel as you said earlier, not on top of it..
