    i was curious about this also. seems like in the book they did have muskets, but they were rarely used as most of the book involved ‘close’ fighting in which swords were used while muskets were battlefield, long-range devices.

      Indeed. You get one shot with a musket. You wouldn’t have time to reload before the enemy would be on top of you and you had better have that sword out.
