Musket man maybe able to outrange a longbow man, [b]but they are inaccurate[/b], and slow to reload, as well as causing a lot of smoke and a chance of blowing the gunner up. Rifles, are better than bows in most respects, but are only issued to about one in fifty people in the current era. So, while a one vs one in an open plain might not work well, but a hundred vs a hundred would be against the musketeer's favour, since a bowman can loose about three arrows to a single musket ball.

The trouble is the reason bows were phased out in the first place, rifles and muskets have a longer range. The bow man is dead before he gets to loose. [b]Rifles are more accurate than bows too[/b]
