The small hint is that the last name of the alleged film maker is the French word for hoax.

Nice catch, Jim. I don't speak, ahem, "Frog", so I would never have known!
BTW, did you see the references to the Whitworths? Am curious as to whether or not there effective range/hits were increase to reflect their accuracy?
Thanks

Jack, the Whitworths do have better accuracy than anything else on the field. I was never able to find any numerical data on the gun accuracy so the numbers are just my best guess. The group size is 1/5 or so smaller than a rifled gun, which is significant.
A real limit is as they can only shoot solid shot, the effects of a hit are only the maxkill for solid shot.

Thanks, Jim.
Might be able to help with the numerical data if you tell what you need and/or looking for.
