	Valley Forge: Musket Drill

		It was standard practice in the eighteenth century to use a menacing bayonet charge to force your enemy to retreat from the battlefield.
		In the same way that musket volleys were most effective when well timed, bayonet charges were more successful when executed with precision.

	Musket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Musket
		When musketeers loaded flintlocks, 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.
		By today's standards, muskets are very inaccurate due to the windage (gap) between the projectile and the barrel, with the result that the bullet will not spin towards the target, whereas a rifle bullet will spin towards the target, thus ensuring accuracy.
		Use of musket infantry tactics was manipulated to the fullest by Frederick Willam I king of Prussia.

	The 1855 Rifle Musket
		It was this long barrel that gave the arm the name of 'rifle musket' as it combined the length of a smoothbore musket with the grooved bore of a rifle.
		To compensate for the slightly shorter length of the 56" long Model 1855 rifle musket in hand-to-hand combat it was issued with a bayonet- 2" longer that that used with the smoothbore musket (23" long, 18" blade length).
		Such was the ultimate legacy of the M1855 rifle musket; a weapon that spanned the gap between the smoothbore musket and the rifled breechloader.

		The soldier armed with a rifled musket was not only expected to reload just as fast as his predecessor with the common smoothbore musket, but was also expected to AIM and HIT the target, something that he had never been called upon to do before.
