How did people in the middle ages even aim their muskets with no eye slits?

seems to be magazine fed and bolt action

I don't grasp what you mean by eye slit, but aiming wasn't that big of a deal in the middle ages.
You start finding some rudimentary front sights on some 17th century guns; the first one with adjustable sights afaik is the 1851 french Minié rifle.
Before the 19th century it was thumb sights in battle, because between volley fire and shitty range & accuracy, marksmanship wasn't really a thing.
The prussians even favored hip-firing over shoulder-firing
Michael Davis
Accuracy by volume
Brayden Sanchez
You don't aim a musket.
Nicholas Clark
I hate this picture so much, his head has to be the size of an orange.
David Rogers
Do you think knights would use .50 BMG or .309 mm caliber in their muskets?
Joshua Sanders
>.309 mm
huh
Noah Cook
>.309 mm caliber
I'm going to assume you mean .308. Caliber is a measure of inches, millimeters are just that, millimeters.
Brayden Brown
This is not an educational picture to start
Caleb Turner
They didn’t necessarily aim so much as level and point
Jaxon Cox
But their helmets were totally enclosing their faces. How did they even fucking see back then?
Ryder Williams
are you suggesting you believe warriors approached a battlefield blindfolded by choice?
Colton Peterson
Is that a Bloodborne?

Luis Edwards
Well in the pictures their helmets dont have eye wholes. How the fuck did they see?
Josiah Myers
they didn't wear full helmets, what are you talking about?
Josiah Kelly
>You don't aim a musket.
And you've never fired one and no less than nothing about their use in war, yes you do. Why can't people like you just sit down and shut up. What is this bullshit thread? Crap bait?
Evan Allen
>Crap bait
>missing the point this hard
Caleb Morris
Aim? What is aiming?
Jackson Young
They really couldn't see much when their visor was closed. Apparently a lot of guys chose to fight with no visor at all because they couldn't see shit otherwise. Matt Easton has talks about it in some of his videos. He says that with a lot of helmets you can tell there are some guys in front of you, but that's about it.
William Smith
helmets with eye slits weren't used in conjunction with muskets

Amazing. Even in 1203 there were mall ninjas.

Cooper Russell

How'd the fucking see?
Camden Kelly

you have to be trolling at this point
you say >I dont mean Dungeons and Dragon shit I mean historical stuff like and
(OP)
Neither of which are historical depictions.
in no one ever wore a helmet like that, and it's very clearly fictional art
in that man has both a bolt action, a club, and a pyramid head helmet. he doesn't even have fucking shoes on dude
