During the attack on the village. There is a group of rangers firing on the village. After several shots are fired. One of the shooters experiences a "flash in the pan" He fires his flint lock and powder in the pan fires but the nothing comes out the muzzle. All the other shooters do have what looks like the products of a gun shot coming out their barrels.
