Biting open a paper cartridge was this standard 18th and 19th century military technique to rapidly reload a muzzle-loading musket. Soldiers tore off the paper tail with their teeth to expose gunpowder, allowing them to pour it into the barrel and then ram the ball in speeding up the firing rates to 2-3 shots per minute.
