What is the recoil like in a typical American Revolution era muzzle loader? The actors in the film seem to indicate there is quite a kick.

My buddy has a Knights .50 caliber muzzle loader that I have shot a few times. The recoil is similar to a 1 oz shotgun slug and it's only uncomfortable if you shoot it a bunch of times in a row.
