The musket was the main weapon in the French and Indian War. French Tulle musket, British Brown Bess musket, and an array of frontier Indian weapons were very popular among the Canadian and American Militias, including Tomahawks, knives, and clubs. oh british 12 pdr guns at the Forts and french 16 pdr field guns and mortars. The French and their allies used the Charleville musket. The British and their allies used the Brown Bess musket.
The rifled musket was invented and sold to the US Army in 1861. The rifle ball was invented by French inventor Claude-Ã?tienne Minie.
The musket of choice was the .69 Caliber, model 1766 Charleville flintlock musket which represented the State of the Art in military firearms. The US Model 1795 musket was a direct knock-off of the French weapon with production of about 150,000 weapons produced at Springfield and at Harpers Ferry.

No musket does not have an antonym
Musket or Musket or maybe a Musket.:D
Perhaps the most common was the French Charleville flintlock musket in .69 caliber.
Nominally, whatever size the bore of the musket is, although musket balls were usually considerably smaller than the bore in order to reduce powder fouling in the bore. The British Brown Bess was .75 calibre (but fired a .71 calibre musket ball), the French Charleville musket was .69 calibre (these were also commonly used by what would become the United States during the American Revolution), the smoothbore Springfield Muskets were .69 calibre, while the rifled muskets were .58 calibre... just to put a few out there.
The Codfish Musket was created in 1936.
