      A species of firearm formerly carried by the infantry of an
      army. It was originally fired by means of a match, or matchlock, for
      which several mechanical appliances (including the flintlock, and
      finally the percussion lock) were successively substituted. This arm
      has been generally superseded by the rifle.

        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.
