Musket balls are the types of the projectiles that are fired from muskets. Before they were loaded down down the muzzle, they were usually wrapped in paper or cloth, to keep excess gas behind the barrel. Musket balls were made by pouring molten lead into a musket ball mould and trimming off surplus lead once it had cooled.

A musket is a muzzle-loaded long gun that appeared as a smoothbore weapon in the early 16th century, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating plate armour.1 By the mid-16th century, this type of musket gradually disappeared as the use of heavy armour declined, but musket continued as the generic term for smoothbore long guns until the mid-19th century.2 In turn, this style of musket was retired in the 19th century when rifled muskets (simply called rifles in modern terminology) using the Minié ball (invented by Claude-Étienne Minié in 1849) became common.3 The development of breech-loading firearms using self-contained cartridges (introduced by Casimir Lefaucheux in 1835) and the first reliable repeating rifles produced by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1860 also led to their demise.4 By the time that repeating rifles became common, they were known as simply "rifles", ending the era of the musket.
