Answer 1

A musket is a muzzle (front of a gun) loaded, smooth bore gun.  Muskets used balls of metal, propelled by gunpowder that's held in the musket itself.  The balls were usually between .50 and .80 caliber (.5-.8 inches in diameter, respectively).  Muskets were lethal up to 200 yards away in some situations, but weren't accurate beyond 70-80 yards.

Rifles vary is sizes, but are generally shoulder fired, like muskets, and employ long, slender, aerodynamic bullets, as opposed to the balls used by muskets, and a barrel design that has spiral grooves etched into the metal of the barrel, to encourage spin of the bullets, thus increasing stability, resistance to tumbling, etc.  Modern rifle bullets also contain their own gunpowder, rather than it being loaded into the gun itself, and most rifles are loaded by clip, or by individual bullet, rather than by muzzle.

Answer 2

A musket is a fired with black powder and a rifle fires with a cartridge.  A musket has a smooth barrel and fires a small round ball bearing and a rifle has grooves in the barrel (rifling)to improve its accuracy and distance.

Answer 3

Riffle is the modern version of the long distant weapo.

A musket is the old version of the 18th century. You had to load every time the powder then the spherical bullet. Then you had to **** the musket. When you pulled the trigger the powder was ignited by a flintstone.
