Ramrod sound effects for the slow, fiddly business of loading a black powder gun. The rod sliding down the barrel and tamping the charge home. Powder being poured. Muskets handled up close, from the frizzen snapping shut to blowing down the barrel, and loading foley for cannons and flintlocks too.
On screen, a ramrod is the sound of time running out. A soldier reloading while the enemy closes in needs every scrape and tap to land. Tense stuff. The Musket recordings cover hands twisting and sliding on the gun, and the gun dropped and dragged across earth, sand, wood and cobbles, with different mic perspectives on most actions. The black powder set adds musket shots and cannon fire around it. Rifle libraries with their own Weapon Handling sit alongside. It suits period dramas and pirate adventures, anywhere black powder is still the latest thing.
