  • @hCHASEs87 The rifled musket uses a minie ball, which can slide down the rifled barrel with ease, like a musket, but when fired, the skirt of the bullet expands and catches the rifling giving it the accuracy of a rifle. Hope that helps

  • my weapon of choice a HARPOON GUN!!!!

  • @hCHASEs87 I Don't Know, I Guess Its Called A Rifled Musket Cos Its A Muzzle Loader With Rifling In The Barrel.

    ( I Don't Know Thats Just My Guess)

  • -_-

  • SHIT

  • 1850's era weapons terminology, as used by both American and British Ordnance Depts:

    "Rifle" in .54, .577 or .58 caliber, has a heavy 33-inch barrel, shorter than the 40-inch smoothbore "musket" barrel used by infantry from early 1700's onward.

    "Rifle-Musket" is a .577 or .58 caliber rifled infantry weapon, with 40-inch barrel, retaining the bayonet characteristics of the musket.

    "Rifled-Musket", a weapon originally smoothbore, newly rifled to accurately fire the Minie-Bullet.

  • i prefer either a small bore rifled gun 40 caliber or smaller for most things . either that or a 62 caliber or larger smoothbore for other things. one is accurate. one is just impressive. alot of folks thought 50 was intemidating. ha.

  • Whoa wait. I was told the term rifled musket came due to the fact that the once smoothbore muskets were converted i.e. the American Civil War. By converted I mean the muskets were taken to an arsenal and given post-production rifling.

  • we not allowd to do stuff like that here in england :( we cant fire big loud guns like that

  • Im pretty sure i meant that hypothetically!!! But of course a fellow liveing historian would have the answers.
