火枪：一种滑膛托枪，用于16世纪后期到18世纪
Musket
Muzzle-loading
shoulder
firearm
developed
in
16th-century
Spain.
Designed
as
a
larger
version
of
the
harquebus,
muskets
were
fired
with
matchlocks
until
flintlocks
were
developed
in
the
17th
century;
flintlocks
were
replaced
by
percussion
locks
in
the
early
19th
century.
Early
muskets
were
often
handled
by
two
persons
and
fired
from
a
portable
rest.
Typically
5.5
ft
(1.7
m)
long
and
weighing
about
20
lbs
(9
kg),
they
fired
a
ball
about
175
yards
(160
m)
with
little
accuracy.
Later
types
were
smaller,
lighter,
and
accurate
enough
to
hit
a
person
at
80–100
yards
(75–90
m).
The
musket
was
replaced
in
the
mid-19th
century
by
the
breech-loading
rifle.
