1742 British Long land pattern flintlock musket (Brown Bess) at the National Army Museum, London – From the curators' comments: "The Long Land Pattern, commonly called the 'Brown Bess', was the standard British Army musket for most of the eighteenth century….he Brown Bess weighed about five kilograms and fired a ball weighing about 40g. It had an effective range of about 80m. Muskets were most effective when they were fired in volleys (large numbers of men all firing at the same time)." Source by Dutchmn007
