Are there any photos of david crockets musket?
Crockett had a rifle, which he called Old Betsy. A rifle has spiral grooves inside the barrel, which make the bullet spin when it is fired out of the barrel. In the same way a quarterback tries to spin the football when throwing a pass, this made the bullet fired from a rifle much more accurate than those fired from a musket. A musket is a smooth-bore weapon - no grooves inside the barrel, therefore no spin on the bullet. A musket shot is more like a knuckleball in baseball - no spin, liable to go anywhere, even a puff of wind can change its course, and musket balls do not have as long a range as rifle balls. As far as I know some Mexican wound up with Crockett's rifle after he died at the Alamo in 1836. Photography had not yet been invented.
How fast did a bullet fire from a musket in 1775?
In 1775, a musket typically fired a lead ball at speeds ranging from 900 to 1,200 feet per second (about 275 to 365 meters per second). The exact velocity could vary based on factors such as the type of musket, the caliber of the ball, and the amount of gunpowder used. Muskets of that era were smoothbore firearms, which affected accuracy and range compared to later rifled firearms.
