## Musket
\n<\/p>\n
Holding rightmouse while unloaded will load a bullet from the inventory, similarly to the crossbow.
\nHolding rightmouse when loaded aims the musket, and releasing fires the bullet. Aim time determines the accuracy.
\nReloading takes 2 seconds, and aiming for 3 seconds is enough for perfectly accurate shots by default.
\nFiring a musket produces a visible cloud of smoke and the shot can be heard from far away, giving away the user’s position.<\/p>\n
## Cartridges<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Standard cartridges:** Deals 16 damage and ignores 10% of the target’s armor efficacy.
\n**Hellfire cartridges:** Deals 25% more damage than standard cartridges and decreases the target’s armor by 25% for 30 seconds. Found in bastion chests or by trading with piglins.
\n**Enchanted cartridges:** Has 25% higher velocity than standard cartridges and boosts musket enchantment effects. Crafted with an enchanted book and an equal number of gold nuggets and cartridges in a crafting table. Also sold by weaponsmith villagers.
\nAll cartridges can be fired from dispensers.
\nCartridges are deflected by breezes and iron golems resist 75% of the damage.<\/p>\n
## Enchantments<\/p>\n
**Firepower (I-V):** Increases armor piercing of fired bullets by 10% per level. Enchanted cartridges increase this amount by 10%.
\n**Longshot (I-II):** Amplifies damage against distant targets. (15-60% bonus at 16-48 blocks, 25-100% at level 2). Enchanted cartridges multiply this amount by 1.2.
\n**Repeating:** Allows the musket to fire twice per reload. This amount is increased by 1 when reloading after a kill, and enchanted cartridges double the bonus.<\/p>\n
All enchantments are mutually exclusive with each other.<\/p>\n
## Gunslinger\/Musketeer Illagers
\n<\/p>\n
Spawns near outposts and will appear as part of raid waves with the same frequency as Evokers.
\nBeing expert shooters, they have an attack range of 24 and do not cause friendly fire damage.
\nThey retreat when approached and use a sawn-off with less firepower than their main weapon to protect themselves.<\/p>\n
## Configuration <\/p>\n
Reload and aim time are configurable between 20-80 ticks.
\nBase cartridge damage is configurable between 12-24 damage, and the damage multiplier of Gunslingers are configurable.
\nEnchantment parameters can be changed with datapacks (1.21 only).<\/p>\n
## Integration<\/p>\n
If **Consecration** is installed, enchanted\/hex cartridges remove undead protection. 1.20.1\/1.21.1 Forge\/Neoforge only.
\nIf **Enchantment descriptions** (or equivalent mod) is installed, the details of each enchantment will be displayed in-game.
\nIf **Useful Spyglass** is installed, Muskets can be used with the Precision enchantment for increased damage and zoom while aiming.
\nThe behavior code for musket usage by mobs has been refactored and should allow for use by other mods for integration purposes.<\/p>\n
