<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mainebill, post: 1848982, member: 44004&quot;]Unfortunately no the rifles and muskets of the better part of&nbsp; 19th c shot either a round lead ball or a molded lead projectile all were much larger caliber then this hole also the propellant was not powerful to blow a hole theough it like this a coin in the shirt pocket hit by a bullet would have been bent and dented but would not have been blown through and if it hit a pocket coin it would likely have saved your life there&#039;s stories of silver dollars and gold pieces stopping bullets a modern day bullet tho would blow through it also remember copper is a much harder metal then lead[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
