Answer:
At the end of the musket most soldiers had a bayonet attached. A bayonet was a sharp pointed metal blade around 17 inches long. The bayonet turned the musket into a spear that could be used to charge and gore an enemy. British soldiers were especially skilled fighters with the bayonet.
Cannon
Both sides used a variety of artillery (large guns) during the war. Cannons could be made somewhat mobile when they were mounted on large wheels. They fired solid shells, exploding shells, and grapeshot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortifications or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired strait at a line of approaching enemy troops tearing right through them and stopping their charge.
The smooth-bore muskets of the Revolutionary War were not very accurate and could not reliably hit a target beyond 100 yards. It took the average soldier around 15 to 20 seconds to load the musket allowing him to fire 3 to 4 shots a minute.
Brown Bess and Bayonet

Volume 1
The weapons and battle tactics used by both sides during the Revolutionary War were consistent with those used by European armies for the previous 15 or so years. Both sides used similar weapons and fought using similar tactics.
Muskets
The primary weapon used by both sides was the musket. The most popular type of musket was the British made Brown Bess. The Brown Bess had a smooth bore and was loaded through the muzzle. Another popular musket was the Charleville made by the French. It was similar to the Brown Bess.
Rifles were also used during the Revolutionary War. Rifles were more accurate than muskets, but took a lot longer time to load. Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) used pistols and sabers to fight with as they were easier to use while riding a horse. Soldiers often carried knives or small hatchets, but these were rarely used in major battles.

Explanation:
Below is my answer, but I have done a lot of research already:
- The ultimate aim of the Nazi Party was to seize power through Germany's parliamentary system
- By 1941 Nazi forces had occupied much of Europe.
- Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany’s Nazi Party
- Hitler became interested in politics during his years in Vienna
- The Holocaust was the sponsored<em>(and I mean state-sponsored)</em> mass murder of some 6 million European Jews.
- Ethnic cleansing and genocide
- Started on September 1, 1939
- Brutally treated children, and even elderly
I hope to convey the message the the series of events that occurred is something that was done after research after reading Anne Frank's diary and visiting various Holocaust memorial websites. I do not with that any of the facts above be taken in the wrong way and I mean no offense.
Hope this helps,
