    army. It was originally fired by means of a match, or matchlock, for

    has been generally superseded by the rifle.


    Musket meaning & definition 1 of Musket.


  • From your Hand cannon to your conical all muskets are single shot and very slow firing. They require your primer(if using a percusion cap you dont need this)gun powder put down the barrel. Then you ram with a ramming rod your projectille down the barrel
    A musket was first made back in the 1300s . They where first just simple metal tubes that had gunpowder, a ball, and a hole to stick a flaming piece of rope down.These where called hand cannons. The ottomans where one of the first groups to use a matchlock musket.
    A matchlock musket was shaped about 5 to evn six feet long . It was fired by the trigger being pulled and slaming a lit piece of rope down on a hole that gunpowder was in.
    Then came along the wheellock. It was fired by a piece of gyraphite slaming on a wheel inside the musket causing sparks .
    The next musket was a flint lock . When you pulled the trigger a piece of flint would slam on to a piece of metal . The sparks created by this would light the powder.
    For hundreds of years muskets wher very innaccurate and only had a maxium distance of 100m. Until rifling came into the picture. Rifling is a set of spiraled groves in the barrel. It gives the projectille a spin and makes it more accurate and go longer distances.
    This made there effective range skyrocket and in some muskets , the ball would hit where you aimed for 300 yards. During the revolutionary war the British standard weapon was the brownbess which was a rifled musket and some of the colonist had kentucky long-rifles.
    Two more major inventions came for muskets during the 1800s . The percussion cap was the main one.
    On a percussion cap musket there is a tube called the nipple. You place the percussion cap on ther and fired. This allowed powder to burn much better and due a way with the use of primer and reduced fowling or the barrel getting so dirty it couldnt fire.
    After that a french man invented something called the minne ball or as we know the conical bullet. It was shaped as a cone like a modern bullet.
    alot of muskets could have this shoved down there muzzle and still fire or there was a gun called a breach loader which is not a musket could fire them.
    The conical made alot of guns have accuracy with the proper sights up to 1000 yards.
