The primary weapon across the war was the muzzle loading rifle. The British had the Brown Bess, their standard weapons for several decades. Smooth bore cannons were also commonly used on the battle field. That was pretty much it. Other than the bayonets and the muzzle loading pistols, there wasn't a lot of variety.

The soldiers in the Colonial Era used different kinds of weapons. It starts off basically with a musket. A musket is a standard single shot rifle. You have to re-load after every shot.At the end of the gun it has a blade used for close ranged fighting. They also used different kinds of swords, but the most used is the cutlass. Then there comes the pistol. The most common pistol is the blunderbuss. This is also a single shot gun, good for close ranged combat.
