You can only shoot a musket twice before you have to clean the barrel. To shoot 4 rounds would take 5 minutes. I deer hunt with one during blackpowder season. Older ones with a pan would take longer rather than loading a percussion cap. Old ones weren't accurate anyway without rifling. "Shoot at the knees," they used to say because the balls pull up.
