A musket is a muzzle-loaded, smoothbore firearm, fired from the shoulder. Muskets were designed for use by infantry. A soldier armed with a musket had the designation musketman or musketeer.The musket replaced the arquebus, and was in turn replaced by the rifle (in both cases, after a long period of coexistence).
