Muskets were primarily used as military firearms from the 16th to the 19th centuries. They served as the standard infantry weapon, allowing soldiers to engage in combat with greater range and lethality compared to melee weapons. Muskets were typically muzzle-loaded and fired lead balls, making them effective for massed troop formations. Additionally, they played a significant role in shaping military tactics and strategies during their time of use.

The British used the standard British Army muskets and artillery cannons. The Maori used trade muskets, shotguns and tomahawks.
