Feel free to find better sources, but this fits other stuff I've read)A skilled unit of musketeers was able to fire three rounds per minute. This was the limit whilst loading to order as above, however an experienced individual could manage four rounds a minute if firing at will, such as in a skirmish situation.How I'd do this? Reloading if you have simple proficiency takes 5 rounds for a musket. With martial proficiency, 4 rounds. With rapid reload (or something similar), 2 rounds. Range increment of 60 feet (generally muskets 'were accurate to about 70 yards, could hit a man's torso out to 218 yards).As for rifles, 30 round load time with simple proficiency, 20 rounds with martial, 10 rounds with rapid reload, range increment of something like 300 feet.</blockquote>
