What does MUSKET mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A long-barrelled gun, loaded from the muzzle and fired from the shoulder, carried by infantry soldiers.
The musket was the standard weapon of foot soldiers for roughly the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Early models were fired by a lit match, and later ones by a flintlock or a percussion cap. It was slow to load and not very accurate, so armies relied on massed volleys. The rifle in time took its place, which is why the musket now appears mostly in history books and re-enactments.
