The Musket is a gun that can fire Buckshot Balls, Buckshot and Musket Balls. Buckshot is a spread shot that is best for hunting birds and musket balls are best for bigger animals although they can't bring down large animals every time. A buckshot ball is one ball from a buckshot - it is enough to kill a bird but it will merely annoy larger animals. The single buckshot ball is not intended for general use.
