Aryk knows more about this than I, but there was a group of Elizabethan
musketeer/arqubusiers and gentles with pikes drilling at Pennsic.  

I recall that either the BoD or the Middle Kingdom forbids the discharge
of black powder at events; however the use of a cannon for signalling
the start and end of the battles at Pennsic was sanctioned for several years.
