Where did the rifle musket come from?
Originally muskets were long barrelled smoothbore firearms that were used in volley fire arrangement and became a feature of formal combat in the 16th century. At first they were matchlocks (used extensively in the Thirty Years War and the English Civil War). In the early 18th century muskets incorporated flintlocks and were used in many conflicts, including the Jacobite War (1745), the American Revolution (1776) and the Napoleonic Wars (1798-1815). The Rifle Musket first saw it's appearance in America during the Mexican War when they were issued to Mississippi regiments under the command of Col. Jefferson Davis. These differed from conventional muskets in that they were rifled and extremely accurate and effective. The invention of the conical bullet (Minie ball) in the early 1850's made rifled muskets easier to load and smoothbore muskets became obsolete. Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armory were making these weapons before the Civil War and Great Britain also began the manufacture of excellent rifled muskets (Endfield 1858). Rifled Muskets were the primary weapon of the American War of Rebellion (Civil War)
