That would be pretty annoying to other soldiers.

TEETH? It was said that soldiers had to be so-tall (to load the non-breech loading rifles) and had to have teeth. If anyone wanted to duck the war, they merely had to have their natural teeth removed.

It wouldn't be that the soldier had to hold the pontil between his teeth as he was pouring powder and shot into the rifles, now, would it?

Well, here in the states, that would be the 'ramrod', though I imagine that the terminology has changed over the years. With flintlock firearms, the part of the lock that holds the flint was called the 'cock' and the piece of metal that it struck to shower sparks into the priming powder was called the 'battery'. Now, they are referred to as the 'hammer' and 'frizzen' respectively. Several cliche's have survived that have their roots is muzzleloading firearms history. Going off half cocked; Ramrod straight; Lock, Stock, & Barrel; Flash in the pan; Kentucky windage; and Joel's favorite...Bite the bullet are still in the American vocabulary. ;-) Fawks >>I thought the pontil was the middle tooth of the bridge. >> >>Joel > I may have the wrong word...
