How does the musket dictate military strategy?
The musket, with its relatively slow rate of fire and limited range compared to modern firearms, dictated military strategy by emphasizing linear formations and massed volleys. Armies often deployed in tight ranks to maximize firepower and maintain discipline, allowing soldiers to reload and fire in unison.
