The Musket: BY Thoryn Bue

The musket was a muzzle-loaded gun that was long and intended to be fired from the shoulder [1]. It allowed the development of many 19th century weapons and was mainly used by infantry soldiers, often with an attached bayonet [2]. Though only accurate up to 50-70 yards, the musket had calibers from 0.5 to 0.8 inches and fired lead balls powerful enough to take out limbs [3]. Over time, guns evolved from the original musket design to become safer and more effective for soldiers.

A musket is a muzzle loaded gun, it is long which is


intended to be fired from the shoulder. This gun allowed
many different kinds of 19th generation weapons made all
from this gun. The Musket was mainly made for infantry,
this also can come with a stand and it came equipped with a
bayonet. This comes in handy in close quarters. Typical
musket calibers ranged from 0.5 inches to 0.8 inches . The
musket can be firing at a single target but it was only http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Naseby_

accurate to about 50 yards to 70 yards. It shots a metal ball


at you the size of a larger marble. This bullet can take out
arms hands even legs, now that’s powerful. The muskets
was invented by Benjamin Franklin in Scotland at the
time of 1753.
The Evaluation of the Musket
As you see here these guns had all
advanced from one gun the
“musket’’. Over the years many
inventers have been upping the
aunty to the weapons as in making
them more and more better for the
user. In today people are now
making guns so that the soldier will
be safe behind cover and the gun
doing the dirty work. This proves

always a consequence with having we

This is a huge money maker because the
Americans are now selling weapons to
the enemy ( terrorists )for what
Money…. This seems really stupid
because lots of soldiers had fallen
because of these dealers. There is an
other money maker, it is ammo.

on everybody, like as you see here
