Yes, the Janissaries, the elite infantry of the Ottoman Empire, did use muskets as part of their arsenal. By the 17th century, they were equipped with matchlock and later flintlock muskets, which enhanced their combat effectiveness. The incorporation of gunpowder weapons marked a significant evolution in their military tactics, moving away from traditional melee weapons. This adaptation contributed to the Janissaries' reputation as formidable soldiers during their peak.
