Waiter, there's a musket ball in my soup!
That big oak tree in the town square still has an exposed musket ball in it's trunk.
Use the word musket in a sentence please!
Lead.
The musket was used by foot soldiers in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

The rifled musket was invented and sold to the US Army in 1861. The rifle ball was invented by French inventor Claude-Ã?tienne Minie.
Nominally, whatever size the bore of the musket is, although musket balls were usually considerably smaller than the bore in order to reduce powder fouling in the bore. The British Brown Bess was .75 calibre (but fired a .71 calibre musket ball), the French Charleville musket was .69 calibre (these were also commonly used by what would become the United States during the American Revolution), the smoothbore Springfield Muskets were .69 calibre, while the rifled muskets were .58 calibre... just to put a few out there.
A musket is apt to misfire if your powder is wet.
No. A musket is a smooth-bore, muzzel loading weapon designed to fire a single ball. A shotgun is designed to fire a several pieces of smaller shot in a single load.
A sentence using the word ball would be: If you throw the ball to me I will catch it.
Yes and no. When it 'falls' out of a cannon/musket, the solid steel ball will fall at an significantly speedier rate than that of a conventional solid steel ball not emerging from a cannon/musket housing. But sometimes the other solid steel ball will drop slightly faster than the solid steel ball as well. No one knows why really. It's a mystery. :-) (don't know what this question was supposed to mean but that was fun, lol)
I have a ball. He has a ball.
