Muskets...slow to reload, inaccurate, unreliable, and they throw up massive plumes of smoke! Why use them at all when a quieter, faster, and more reliable weapon not only existed, but predated the musket by so many years?? Well the disadvantages of the musket may not be quite so numerous as you imagine! In this video, I discuss why the flintlock musket was a superior weapon- both of war and of battle- than the longbow.
