time of reloading between Rifle and Musket? if i rember one of the reason of the preference in the 18th century for the musket it was a less time for reload than rifle -

I actually would use a bow or a crossbow...

brown bess is a trash in accuracy !
-
So they thought it was a good idea to put 3 muskets against 1 rifle and the rifle had to win or they pretty much called it shit? Not a very good match up.

now try it whilst being shot at

@NUSensei Maybe it wasn't the civil war, but the marines used won thanks to the wide spread shots from their muskets, when going ship to ship battles :)

@xxxCRAZYLOVExxx Although, you may be referring to the buck-and-ball loading, which was indeed used in the Civil War. Troops loaded both a musket ball and buckshot for a wider area of effect.

@xxxCRAZYLOVExxx That doesn't make sense. Muskets shoot balls, not pellets. And, well, the Americans kind of fought themselves in the Civil War, so I'm not sure how to verify that :P
that why they invented the shotgun

it is hard to believe that weapons like those did so much damage and had such great effect on wars past compared to weapons today.
