No they were not in question at the time. What the British had were muskets(a smooth bore and a very inaccurate weapon), however what we had were Kentucky Riffles, which had groves inside the bore to make it the ASSAULT weapon of the day. It was very accurate unlike the enemies we faced and was a superior weapon of its day. So to your argument where is my M1A1 Tank??? Learn history and about weapons before you start blabbing about what you think you know.
