During the American Revolution, they used many different types of weapons. Some of these weapons were...
*Muskets-ranges were short range and inaccurate. Brown Bess was the most common and effective.
*Bayonets-one of the most dangerous weapons. They were triangular so when you got stabbed, it could never be sealed all the way. Most people would bleed to death.
*Rifles-were not first choice since they took a LONG time to load.
*Pistols-mostly used by officers and Calvary
*Cannons-could shoot 100s of yards. Each cannon needed 7-14 men. Each man had his own job and tools. Jobs ranged from lighting it to choosing the angle.
