There will probably be different archetypes too instead of just Continentals or Redcoats carrying muskets. I saw the concept art for Redcoats, there were three of them. The first one is yeah, carrying a musket. The second one was carrying a sword (or saber since that could be the common reference in the 18th century). And the last one was carrying a heavy two-handed axe (looks like a bearded axe from AC:B). So they might have archetypes I think.
