Hah... Simplified...yes
You'll just ned to understand the peculiarities of the piece you go with. Flint coice, how it sits in the jaws, striking the frizzen, etc. Also patching thw ball for consistency in shot placement.
I enjoy flintlocks greatly. A bit massochistic at times when it decides to go stupid but it's a challenge I enjoy a great deal.
