滑膛枪vs Rifle
步枪和步枪是两种不同类型的枪支的名称,因为他们的相似之处使人们感到困惑。步枪比步枪更早使用,并被步枪缓慢地取代,因为步枪可以更准确地射击。步枪和步枪之间将在本文中讨论更多差异。
What is a Musket?
步兵是步兵在18世纪和19世纪战争中使用的枪支。尽管Arquebus是步枪的前身,但步枪后来被更先进的枪支所取代,称为步枪。步枪不仅比Arquebus轻,而且还有刺刀,使其对部队尤其是在近距离接触期间更好。即使在16世纪,火枪手都在世界各地的军队中使用。这种枪支在长期300年中演变出来,在19世纪最受欢迎。步枪必须从枪管的末端装载,士兵不得不撕开包含粉末和射击的小包。他将粉末倒在枪管上,然后将球塞在枪管上,然后才能被射击。
滑膛枪was not a very accurate weapon, and armies had to resort to asking soldiers to fire en-mass at a target to ensure it was destroyed. The principle used in a musket was just like the principle behind cannon which is why muskets were also called mini canons. As it was difficult for a soldier to measure the amount of powder to be poured down the barrel, it was supplied in a pre-measured pouch that had to be torn apart by the soldier before every shot. This was before a cartridge was invented. However, with training, a soldier could load his musket within 20-30 seconds to fire 2-3 times in a minute.
What is a Rifle?
Rifle was a firearm that was an improvement upon muskets. This firearm was still muzzle loaded, and a soldier had to pour the powder and wad the shot before he could fire. However, rifles were lighter, more accurate and could fire at a longer range than a musket. Nevertheless,they also suffered from the disadvantage of taking a longer time to be loaded. This was because their barrel was smaller making it difficult for the soldier to wad the shot down the barrel. While the early rifles were smooth bored, it was only later that rifling was done imparting grooves inside the barrel. This meant that the shot fired by the soldier also had a spinning motion when coming out of the barrel. This led stability to the flight and trajectory making the rifle much more accurate weapon than before.
What is the difference between Musket and Rifle?
• Musket and rifle were both smooth bore firearms that were muzzle loaded. However, rifle was more accurate and could shoot at a longer range than musket.
• Rifle slowly replaced musket because of its higher efficiency though Colonial armies continued to equip soldiers with cheaper muskets.
• Musket could be loaded much quicker than rifles as its barrel was broader than a rifle’s.
• Rifle was much more accurate than musket and could fire targets at more than 300 yards easily whereas musket could hardly shoot beyond 200 yards.
• Musket made use of a larger iron ball causing heavier damage when shooting at a close target.
• Higher rate of fire of muskets made them the preferred choice of the armies while accuracy and longer range made rifles a preferred choice for hunting.

Interesting just watching Sharpe a British series set in evil Napoleonic’s time – involving wager with rifle vs musket. Sure said 800 yards!

A rifle is NOT a smooth bore firearm. It is called a rifle because its bore is “rifled” – that is, it has spiral grooves that spin the projectile, making it more stable in flight, and thus far more accurate than a musket ball, which is not stabilized by spinning in flight.
认为足球传球,传球总是寻求to put a spin on the ball – and if the passer does not, the ball almost always tumbles end over end, does not go as far, and is definitely not passed accurately.
