    Wait, how can you have a flintlock upside down? All the powder would fall out.

      I believe the frizzen, under IDEAL conditions, keeps the powder in the pan until the lock ignites it. Wouldn’t want to bet my survival on it though, lmao

        As a reenactor, maybe on paper, but it doesn’t even hold the powder in when you jog.
