      Back then you’d just put a couple rounds in your ears. It works ok but isn’t as good as modern hearing protection.

        Were they at least jacketed?

          The rounds? Why would it matter if they were or not? The only thing you really have to worry about is if the caliber will fit your ear canal. Very small or very large rounds won’t work.

            I mean if they weren’t they’d be shoving lead in their ears. Google says jacketed bullets were invented in the late 1800s though so it was probably fine.

              Lead’s not THAT toxic. It’s not like mercury, where it seeps into your skin. You can handle lead pretty safely, just don’t ingest it or lick your fingers afterwards. And even then, it takes a lot.

      At least with revolvers they didn’t have to worry about one in the chamber.

    A quote from my grandmother, married to a career navy officer that was also a competitive shooter in and out of service.

    “No, I don’t go shooting. The ear muffs mess up my hair, and I can’t abide the banging.”

    Which turned into a family joke for multiple obvious reasons.

      The fundamentals of safety we use today wouldn’t be invented for another 2 decades. At the time keeping your finger on the trigger was a fairly universal practice.
