Your standard long land pattern brown bess musket (used by the british) was one of the heavier muskets weighed 10 lbs and was 5 foot 4 inches long. Which would make the the thing very cumbersome to carry around, thats why is was replaced by the other patterns but also all that length and weight added to the accuracy and power. It fired a .75 caliber musket ball!
