weapons of the Janissaries
Does anyone know what sorts of small arms would have been used by the Janissaries around 1800? Single shot miquelet pistols and muskets, I imagine. Would they have been of various sorts with each soldier responsible for their own, or would they have been produced under contract with some expectation of standard caliber etc. The pictures of Janissaries I find feature them with swords so I wonder about their firearms.
