I appreciate the link and the words but won't there always be some delay? Will a flintlock ever fire as fast as an inline or smokless gun? As I understand it one of the main reasons percussion guns were developed because a bird hunter in Britain was tired of his pan charge scaring the bird before his main charge ignited.

I am already trying to use as little primer powder as I can get away with and I keep the touch hole fairly free of residue. The thing fires pretty fast but I still flinch. Perhaps shooting it over and over with no powder or ball in the barrel? Just get use to the pan flaming?
