British soldiers in the Revolutionary War used smooth-bore muskets. The American men used rifles, different from muskets in that they had rifled (spirally grooved) barrels, which greatly enhanced their accuracy - a decisive factor in matching equally with the British forces, who were more numerous. Most men at that time had their rifles made for them by gunsmiths , and a good rifle was one of the most expensive purchases the owner would ever make, but it lasted a lifetime.
