Rifles, with their grooved barrels, offer greater accuracy and range compared to muskets, allowing for more precise shooting at longer distances. They typically have a slower rate of fire due to the need for individual loading of bullets and powder. Muskets, while less accurate, can be loaded faster and were often used in mass formations, which made them effective in close combat. However, their smoothbore design limited their effective range and precision.
