How accurate were the weapons of the American Revolution?
The principle small arm weapon of the British side was the Land Pattern Musket, better known by the nickname "Brown Bess". It was a muzzle loading smoothbore musket of .75 caliber. It had a quoted maximum effective range of about 175 yards although it was only truly effective out to about 75 to 100 yards. In well trained hands it could fire about 3-4 rounds per minute. The Patriots used a variety of weapons including the Brown Bess, the French Charleville musket, and various hunting rifles. The Charleville musket had similar performance to the Brown Bess but fired a slightly smaller .69 caliber bullet. Many militia and irregular Patriot units were outfitted with civilian hunting rifles. Rifles had a longer range than the muskets, out to about 300 + yards, but took about two to three times longer to reload. The main drawback to the rifle however is that a bayonet could not be attached to it. In a day when even the best firearm could only get off about 4 shots in a minute, a bayonet was a primary weapon.
