Don't google Nessler ball....
(Minie ball derived ball for smoothbores, it's stabilizes aerodynamically like shuttlecock and triples accuracy of smoothbores muskets without changes to them).
Imagine how stupid and reluctant to improvement military and past people in general were. Shooting round ball for centuries when you can triple accuracy of the musket for free...

Also they shoot patched round ball from rifles for like 2 centuries refusing to invent Minie ball. BTW do you know how Minie invented his ball? He just made hundreds test shapes and shoot them fro rifle seeking form that flies most true, no need for complex science and shit, just dirty trials
Imagine how stupid ancient people were, "muh tradtion" instead of lifting their lazy asses and trying new things...
