Pour charger son arme, le mousquetaire devait d'abord enlever la mèche du serpentin et la tenir à la main gauche, loin de la poudre qu'il versait dans la gueule de son arme au moyen d'une poire à poudre. Cette charge était tassée dans le canon à l'aide d'une baguette (...) une balle de plomb était ensuite enfoncée par-dessus la charge de poudre et enfin le bassinet était rempli de poudre d'amorce conservée dans une poire plus petite; finalement, la mèche était replacée sur le serpentin. La poudre destinée à la charge était bien plus grossière que celle utilisée pour l'amorce, et on les conservait dans deux poires différentes. 6, record 2, French, - poire%20%C3%A0%20poudre
