Learn how to load while on the move.
Stopping tells the enemy you're not loaded. 

Holding your firelock at eyelevel while loading on the move 
allows you to see both gun and obstacles ahead.

Use double quick step to advance fast. Do not run.

Alternate your fire. Kneel or hide behind objects. 

Don't compare yourself to the enemy. 
They are more screwed up than you think.
 
If caught unloaded, simply level your gun and intimidate the enemy.
