[[wikipedia:Musket|Musket]]s are [[Primitive weapon|primitive firearms]], utilizing explosive powder and a crude firing mechanism to propel a ball which is typically made of lead ball.{{Fn|1}}
These crude devices can only fire once before reloading and are prone to failure. Slow, inaccurate , and unreliable, they are only made and used on backwards planets{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}; the planet [[Birmingham]] is one of the more known of these.{{Fn|1}} However, they are extremely easy to construct and maintain. For this reason they are know to be quite popular among outlaw members of [[Hive]] societies such as the [[Ratskin]]s and [[Scalies]] of the [[Necromunda (Planet)|Necromundan]] [[underhive]]s.{{Fn|4}} The [[Planetary Defense Force]]s of [[Feral World|Feral]] and [[Feudal World]]s also sometimes make use of muskets.{{Fn|3}}
