Muskets are long, smoothbore firearms that were widely used from the 16th to the 19th centuries. They typically fired lead balls and were often muzzle-loaded, requiring the user to load gunpowder and a projectile from the front of the barrel. Muskets played a significant role in military history, particularly in the context of infantry warfare, and were eventually replaced by more advanced rifled firearms. Their impact on tactics and warfare was profound, influencing the design of modern firearms.
