Does the statement 'go off half cocked Muzzleloaders, then as now, had a half cock, or safety position, for a gun's hammer that partially back-locked the trigger mechanism so that the weapon could not be fired.' conflict with the idea presented in 'A gun's hammer does not connect to the trigger component.'
