What type of weapons did the fishermen carry into the battle of Trenton?

The Continental Army used Durham Boats to transport troops, and flat-bottomed Ferry Boats to transport weapons across the Delaware River. The colonists were armed with Long Rifles, Flintlock Muskets, canons, and bayonets....all deadly weapons at their time. The Long Rifles were extremely accurate because the barrel had grooves in it, which curved the bullet. Flintlock Muskets fired deadly balls of grapeshot that caused major damage to flesh. The canons used by the Colonists were also very powerful; a trained crew could fire a canon up to 14 times a minute. The bayonets were 12-14 inch blades attached to the barrel of a musket that caused deep wounds that were hard to seal. The colonists had a deadly force of firepower and manpower...which played a great role in their victory at The Battle Of Trenton.

P.S. The first answer was VERY inaccurate.

What is a Korean War?
The Korean War was the FIRST "Hot" battle of the Cold War. And the FIRST "LIMITED WAR" fought under the restrictions of the "Atomic-Age." The Soviets tested their FIRST A-Bomb in 1949, one year prior to the Korean War. Had it NOT been for nuclear weapons, the Korean War could have easily developed into World War III (Total War). However, the advent of Atomic Weapons, made TOTAL WAR not desirable. Therefore, "Limited Wars" could only be fought. A war Limited to conventional weapons, and limited to certain regions. Vietnam would be the SECOND "Hot" battle of the Cold War (and last "Limited War"). US Military Operations would carry on the torch from there.
