Muskets

Muskets were the mainstay of the Law of the Flowering Law armies in the 12th century. A musket was a muzzle-loading smoothbore long gun that was loaded with a round lead ball, but it could also be loaded with shot for hunting. For military purposes, the weapon was loaded with ball, or a mixture of ball with several large shot, and had an effective range of about 75 to 100 metres. Smoothbore weapons that were designed for hunting birds were called "fowlers". Flintlock muskets tended to be of large caliber and usually had no choke, allowing them to fire full-caliber balls.
