<p>174.76.217.54: /* Arms and equipment */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Era|AC3}}<br /> {{WP-REAL}}<br /> {{Stub}}<br /> [[File:AC3_REDCOATS.png|250px|right]]<br /> The '''British Army''' was a branch of the Royal {{Wiki|British Armed Forces|Armed Forces}} in the [[England|United Kingdom]]. It was formed in 1707 with the Act of Union, and focused on land-based warfare.<br /> <br /> Following Great Britain's triumph over the Kingdom of France in the [[French and Indian War]] (also known as the Seven Years' War), which ended in 1763, the soldiers of the British army were thought to be the best in the western world.<br /> <br /> The superior discipline, skill-at-arms, equipment, organization, well-tailored uniforms, and reputation of the British army were major sources of intimidation to the initially amateur soldiers of the [[Continental Army]], during the [[American Revolutionary War|American Revolution]] from 1775 to 1783.<br /> <br /> ==Arms and equipment==<br /> The British infantryman of the 18th century was armed with the standard British Army smooth-bore [[Firearms|flintlock musket]], and a fifteen inch socket bayonet that could be locked onto the end of the musket barrel.<br /> <br /> British soldiers were drilled extensively in the use of these primary weapons, until they could load and fire their muskets with their eyes closed. A well-trained infantryman could average around four shots per minute from his musket, whereas the sub-par soldier could accomplish perhaps three.<br /> <br /> British officers usually armed themselves with flintlock pistols and [[Swords and Maces|sabers]], although it was not unknown for light infantry officers to carry their own musket, or even a rifle, as the war progressed.<br /> <br /> The soldiers of the British army were often referred to as &quot;Red Coats&quot; or &quot;Lobster-backs&quot; during the American Revolution, due to their distinctively red-dyed uniform.<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=&quot;180&quot; captionalign=&quot;center&quot; captiontextcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;<br /> Assassins-Creed-3-21.jpg|Concept art of British officers.<br /> ACIII-GI (7).jpg|[[Connor Kenway]] being halted by a British soldier.<br /> ACIII-GI (3).jpg|Connor fighting three British soldiers.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> {{AC3}}<br /> [[Category:Factions]]<br /> [[Category:Assassin's Creed III Factions]]</div>
