Definition

A Musket is a single-shot, muzzle-loaded, smooth-bore firearm. It is a long-ranged weapon that can also mount a Bayonet attached on the front. The musket can do significant damage at medium and long range, however it cannot be used at short or point-blank range. Muskets can also play a role in Invasions by taking out skeletons such as Powder Keg Runners from long range.
