A Flintlock Musket (4,000 grams, TL-3) is a long smoothbore weapon relying on sparks struck from a flint to ignite the powder and explosively propel a ball-shaped projectile. [1]
Description (Specifications)
It requires a small amount of time to reload during which time the firer may not evade, and when fired. it may misfire. If a misfire occurs, the weapon will not fire, but the firer may attempt to fire it in the next round. The musket fires as a carbine, but may not fire at very long range compared to more modern weapons. [2]
History & Background (Dossier)
All these weapons require that the owner also carry gunpowder and properly sized lead balls; percussion weapons also require a supply of percussion caps. [3]
