Musketeers fighting at club
.When Musketeers closed with the enemy they fired and then reversed their muskets and used their muskets as clubs. Musketeers were also often issued with a short sword. If it had not got broken chopping wood that would have been used too. Bayonets were not used in the Civil War- they were a more recent invention..
