MUSKETS

The most popular musket was the brown bess. Another popular musket is the Charleville made by the french. The charleville was simalur to the brown bess. Muskets were unreliable. It could hit its target or it could miss its target. It could only shoot 100 yards and took 3 too 4 shots.

BOYONET

A boyonet went at the end of a musket. A boyonet is a sharp peace of metal around 17 inches long. A boyonet turned the musket into a spear.

CANNONS

Cannons fired solid shells ,exploding shells ,and grape shot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortafacations or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired straight at a line of  troops tearing right through them and stopping there attack.

OTHER WEAPONS

Rifles were also used during the Revalution. Rifles were more reliable than muskets but took more time to load. Soldiers also carried knives and hachets but these were never used during major battles. Soldiers on horses used pistols and sabers to fight.

Now you know about American Revalution War Weapons.

I think it is Betsey Ross who made the flag because in my readers theater Gorege wanted Betey Ross to sew the new flag. In the other readers theater Gorege also wanted Betsey Ross to sew the flag. Sure Hopskins drew the demonstration but Betsey Ross made it better by making it wide and adding the five pointed stars.So I think it’s Betsey Ross who made the flag.
