Latest revision as of 03:41, 2 April 2013 [edit] English [edit] Alternative forms [edit] Etymology French mousquet, itself from Italian moschetto, diminutive of mosca ("fly"). [edit] Pronunciation musket (plural muskets) - A species of firearm formerly carried by the infantry of an army. It was originally fired by means of a match, or matchlock, for which several mechanical appliances (including the flintlock, and finally the percussion lock) were successively substituted. This arm has been superseded by the rifle.
