Flintlock musket, 1689-1702

This kind of musket was used by most British infantry. It changed little from King William III's time to the middle of the 19th century. The plug bayonet was a 17th century invention that effectively converted the musket into a pike. Pikemen became less important, and were gradually phased out.
