Then you are lost. When the infantry lines of the Knight's Teutonic trample upon you, look to the heavens for forgiveness.

I have a stupid question, and no BP experience to know the answer:
I understand that if a barrel is fouled up enough (and your shot doesn't have much windage), then it becomes more difficult and more time consuming to ram the shot down the barrel.
If, in such a case, the shot resists being rammed, then is the loader supposed to press the ramrod down against it until it gives out, or raise the rod back up and hammer at it instead?

And the Qing exist in the same timeframe as early colonial Europe where every soldier was armed with a musket and socket bayonet, way too late for the early Renaissance/Pike & Shot feel.
