The effective range of a musket shot typically varies between 100 to 200 yards for accurate firing. However, muskets can be discharged at much greater distances, sometimes up to 600 yards or more, but accuracy decreases significantly beyond the effective range. Factors such as the type of musket, ammunition, and the skill of the shooter can all influence the distance and precision of the shot.

How much gunpowder was used in a musket?
A typical musket used during the 18th and early 19th centuries would generally require about 60 to 120 grains of gunpowder per shot, depending on the specific type and caliber of the musket. This translates to approximately 4 to 8 grams of gunpowder. The exact amount could vary based on the desired range and power of the shot, as well as the type of ammunition used.
How many times can a musket shot before it runs out of bullets?
A musket typically uses a round lead ball and is loaded with gunpowder, so the number of shots it can fire before running out of bullets depends on how many rounds are available. If a shooter has, for example, ten bullets prepared, the musket can be fired ten times before running out. However, the musket must be reloaded after each shot, which can be time-consuming. Therefore, the effective rate of fire is also influenced by the shooter's speed and skill in reloading.

The Saber was defiantly a faster more agile weapon but it was not long ranged like the Musket, there is also the accuracy factor when you shoot a musket straight it is most likely to hit the floor or next to where you shot. If you miss with the Musket and the other person had a Saber you would die or be harshly injured. My choice would be the Saber for speed, accuracy, and agility.

At the battle of Lexington and Concord who shot first?
Unknown to this day, but recently I read a plausible theory about why the shot may have been fired. There was a tavern nearby, and it was against the rules to bring a loaded musket inside. The only way to unload a musket was to fire it. Someone may have stepped inside for a drink, firing his musket in the air first. I think it unlikely that the British would have fired first without orders, but some of the Colonials may have panicked and fired when they heard the first shot.
