Muskets

edit

Muskets are more accurate than stated here. Not saying they are in the heat of battle but well, the section is about weapons, not battle-performances. That being said: Modern tests done by good shooters with original muskets show it's absolutely possible to hit a man-sized target up to 100 yards and even beyond that. Therefore: Changed range from "80 yards" to "100 yards".

Neutrality

I've added the npov template because the article contains some blatant pov content. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 03:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps it has since been fixed, but I am failing to see anything that I would consider "Blatant". Could you point out examples, possibly along with arguments and/or explanations as to why it is non-neutral Point of View? -Verdatum (talk) 22:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Removed the reference to pikes, as pikes had not been as a military weapon since the early 1700s (and no, sergeant's half-pikes do not count!). Also removed the reference to "Blitzkrieg attacks", which is farcical when addressing linear warfare. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.170.144 (talk) 15:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Article's title

edit

"Napoleonic" often refers to the period in which Napoleon I ruled France (and also goes hand-in-hand with start, the revolutions in France, to the end, the last coalition), therefore saying "Napoleonic weaponry and warfare" and only going on to talk about the French weaponry is silly. I propose the article also be expanded to weaponry and tactics of all countries and satellite states that were part of the revolutions/coalitions. After all, the Austrian air rifle is already mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ECCole 00 (talkcontribs) 08:01, 14 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
