What types of firearms would be most likely used by English colonists in Massachusetts area during the 1675 Indian uprising called King Phillips War?
Matchlock, doglock flinter, or...? Caliber? This was sort of a firearm transition period, and that and the distance of the colonies from 'home' make me wonder.
During this war the English took the war to the Indians, attacking their well-fortified villages in the dead of winter and burning the Indians villages and food supplies, a strategy used subsequently in all other such wars up to the late 19th century.
