Muskets tended to be use well after rifled barrels became more or less a standard for a couple reasons. The smoothbore muskets were quicker to reload and fire than their rifled counterparts, and the muskets were advantageous in close situations for their ability to fire special loads, such as the infamous "buck and ball" used during the Civil War, which was essentially a smoothbore musket ball with buckshot glued to it, which would pattern out in a similar manner to a shotgun when fired.
