Musket Rifle

The Musket rifle is the common arm and primary weapon of Land Bridger Marines and privateers. It is a deadly weapon capable of long range accuracy and above average damage. Made from heavy oak wood and sometimes equipped with a bayonette at the end, the Musket can also be used as a Club or Dagger (without the finesse, light or thrown qualities) when reloading isn't and option.

Utility

The musket is a Marine or privateer's primary weapon, but it can (and has quite often) be used as a hunting instrument as well. Designed from the ground up as an instrument of death in any form, there isn't really a misuse for it, but a clever sailor with a sharp eye could probably find creative uses for a musket other than its original intention.

Inventor(s)

Diego de Talavera furthered his discovery of the Cannon by trying to make the device smaller and more portable for common use. This lead to the creation of the musket rifle, and later the Flintlock Pistol.

Access & Availability

Commonly available within the Contested Isles of the Azure Sea, technically Muskets and Pistols are only supposed to be provided to the navy or privateers, but many of them have been supplied to the colonies to defend against natives and things of that nature enough to the extent that it is a pretty common sight for people to have throughout the Islands.
