Topic: Arquebus and Musket
I know that it is pretty silly to get specific about the fire arms of the period. I also know that by the time the musket "won out" and the aquebus was not used much any more that the musket had converged towards the arquebus. They had converged in terms of size and weight.
From reading the firearm appendix, the only difference between the musket and the arquebus is that the musket needs a rest and costs more than the arquebus. Otherwise they do the same damage and have the same ranges and range penalties. There is no reason why you would pick a musket instead of an arquebus.
Have I missed something?
