	Charleville Musket
		This musket is a fine example of the elegant curves in musket stocks in the early 18th century.
		The 1728 musket, with its changes in 1746, was the musket carried by the majority of French troops during the French and Indian War.
		In 1763, the 46 3/4-inch barrelled 1728/1746 musket was abandoned for a shorter new model known commonly as the Charleville Musket.

	Musket - FirearmWiki
		Almost all muskets in this period were fired by the matchlock mechanism, where a length of smouldering rope ignited the gunpowder in the weapon's pan, causing the ball to be fired out of the barrel.
		When muskets were fired by the flintlocks mechanism, they either filled the pan from a powder flask after loading the ball, or from the paper cartridge before pouring the bulk of the gunpowder down the barrel.
		Use of musket infantry tactics was manipulated to the fullest by King Frederick William I of Prussia in the early 18th century.

	Musket
		In flintlocks, the pan was either filled from a powder flask after loading the ball, or from the paper cartridge before the bulk of the gunpowder was poured down the barrel.

		Muskets were slow to reload and inaccurate, so army formations typically deployed musket-men in formations two or three lines deep.

	Brown Bess vs Charleville Musket - THR (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Charleville had a banded barrel -- the barrel was held to the stock with steel bands passing around barrel and stock.
		And regarding a.75" and.69" ball in a musket, I recall reading that some soldiers and militiamen molding their own ball would put a nail through the ball to inflict a nastier wound on top of the already large diameter ball's energy transfer on impact.
		My point was that with the musket's inferior accuracy- especially given the undersized ball issued as noted by other's- would make free floating the barrel useless, but the weapon would be tougher when it came time to use it for a club.

	Revolutionary America! Where Did We Go From There? The Continental Army--musketfire
		The most common firearm was a smooth bore musket called the British Brown Bess.
		Firing lines were only 50-80 yards apart, but since these weapons were notoriously inaccurate, firing speed became the critical factor at 3-5 rounds per minute.
