2. The Cannon The cannon had a crew of about 14 men each soldier had his own special job The soldier also had his own tools jobs ranged from lighting the cannon to calculating the elevation of the cannon Washington's crew practiced until the job became natural to them the cannons range was hundreds of yards and was loaded with grape shot the practice Washington's crew had was definitely worth it The cannon could take out many enemy soldiers at once.

3. The Musket,Bayonet and the Rifle The redcoat musket named for resemblance of a barrel fired a.75 caliber lead ball accurate to about 75 yards. soldier carried a pick and brush to clean the weapon The bayonet transformed musket into deadly spear good to have a spear when raining because guns were unreliable during bad weather. The Rifle Rifles were not the first choice during the revolutionary war While they were more accurate then muskets they were to heavy they also took a long time to load also the soldier would be cleaning the musket more than he would be shooting it Since a bayonet would not connect to the rifle the soldiers had to carry an axe or a tomahawk

4. Pistol Were mostly used by officers and the cavalry. Were only good at very close range. Most were smoothbore, meaning there were no grooves on the inside of the barrel to help with accuracy.
