What does more damage bow or musket?
Musket is WAY more of a problem than bows. They deal more damage and ruin the game by being hitscan. There shouldn't be a single hitscan thing in a game like New World. I'd be cool with it if they were evened out, Musket has hitscan, so it deals less damage as it is easier to use.
The bow is faster than the musket, making it a better PvE weapon. It has plenty of excellent damage-dealing skills allowing you to hit harder and faster than you would be able to with the musket. That is not to say, however, that the musket is without its own advantages.
The implication seems to be that though muskets were less accurate than modern field rifles like the AR-15 derivatives, they could cause considerably more damage if they hit someone.
The rifle does more damage. It doesn't matter much for bears, since you can shoot them once and wait for them to bleed out with either weapon.
The M14 rifle has maximum damage, accuracy, and range in the Assault Rifles class, making it a lethal weapon in long-range battles.

The high amount of kinetic energy in a musket ball meant it could defeat high quality armor at 200 yards and average armor at 400 yards, and could severely injure an unarmored horse or man at 600 yards, which was far beyond the range of a bow's arrow.
Most muskets were lethal up to about 175 yards, but was only “accurate” to about 100 yards, with tactics dictating volleys be fired at 25 to 50 yards. Because a portion of the powder in a cartridge was used to prime the pan, it was impossible to ensure a standard amount of powder was used in each shot.
As big as that hole is, the musket actually shoots a bullet that's smaller than the barrel.
A musket is a muzzle-loaded long gun that appeared as a smoothbore weapon in the early 16th century, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating plate armour.
Which caliber does more damage?
223/5.56 rounds, . 308, 7.62 x 39mm and even . 300 Blackout are all equally damage-inducing depending on application. The reality of the situation is that for modern uses, there is no one round that does more damage in all situations for all shooters.
Jacketed Hollow Point Bullets
Jacketed hollow points are considerably more lethal than regular bullet ammunition. While hollow points have never caught on with regular military forces they are quite common in the self-defense market.

Guns tend to have a better distance than bows, so you don't have to be quite as good at blending in with nature. Guns are also much more straightforward than bows, and they're much easier to aim and fire. With some practice, anyone can hunt with a gun.
Bullets kill by high-energy impact that crushes tissue and bone. Bullets may knock down an animal or incapacitate it by breaking major bones. This reduces the animal's chance of running away. Broadhead-tipped arrows deliver a low-energy impact that kills by cutting vital tissues.
New World's Musket is one of the best PvP weapons in the game, as long as you can hit your shots. The weapon is practically hitscan, which means there is no bullet drop. It's definitely preferred in PvP over PvE, even if the current meta is more Bow heavy rather than the Musket.
Sniper Rifles and Shotguns can kill the foes in 1 shot but aren't useful in all ranges of battle. Snipers cannot be used in short range while Shotguns are quite useless in long-distance combat.

The popular streamer said that this Kastov-74u Warzone 2 loadout is an “AR, but it kills faster than literally anything,” even beating SMGs from up-close. FaZe Swagg also tuned some of these attachments to favor ADS speed and recoil stabilization.
Firearm muzzle velocities range from approximately 120 m/s (390 ft/s) to 370 m/s (1,200 ft/s) in black powder muskets, to more than 1,200 m/s (3,900 ft/s) in modern rifles with high-velocity cartridges such as the .
The actual shot may have been a little longer. While not the half mile (2640 feet/880 yards) Private Martin suggested, it was a very long shot that still fits his description as “rather remarkable.” A hit on a man sized target from 350 yards with one shot from a musket is not impossible. This unnamed soldier did it.
What damage type is musket?
Powder Burn overload the Musket with gunpowder to make the next shot deal 110% damage while inflicting a Burn for 20% Weapon damage. This Burn lasts for 9 seconds, dealing 180% Weapon damage over those 9 seconds.
Such a weapon was typically 5.5 feet (1.7 m) long and weighed about 20 pounds (9 kg). It fired a 2-ounce (57-gram) ball about 175 yards (160 m) with little accuracy. Later types were smaller, lighter, and accurate enough to hit a human-sized target at 80–100 yards (75–90 m).
Hearing muskets fire is an incredible experience, but it is very loud and the sound can upset young children.
What was the last war that muskets were the dominant infantry weapon used in combat? Probably the US Civil War, 1861–1865. During this period, Muskets, favored by the South (Confederates) were being phased out by Repeating Rifles or Breach-loading Rifles such as the Spencer and Sharps rifles in the North.
In combat muskets would sometimes misfire from black powder residue buildup. Soldiers would pick up a musket or rifle from a fallen comrade when their musket jammed. If the musket was already loaded when picked up and the soldier loaded it a second time an exploded musket is the result in some cases.
When bullets enter a human body, they don't just pierce tissue, they shatter bones and dislocate limbs. When bullets enter a human body, they don't just pierce tissue, they shatter bones and dislocate limbs. A injury to the intestines can mean a colostomy bag for life.
When muzzle-loaders, to include muskets, are loaded, the ball is typically patched or wadded. If using loose ammunition, that is powder from a horn and loose balls, a cloth patch is put in just head of the ball.
Ammunition isn't a perishable good - if stored correctly, it can last almost indefinitely. Whether it was stored correctly or not is another matter.
Smoothbore muskets were excellent for firing quickly and repeatedly. A well-trained soldier could fire three or four shots in a minute, or every 15 or 20 seconds.
Once shot, the bullet will keep going, quite literally, forever. "The bullet will never stop, because the universe is expanding faster than the bullet can catch up with any serious amount of mass" to slow it down, said Matija Cuk, an astronomer with joint appointments at Harvard University and the SETI Institute.
Would chainmail stop a musket ball?
No, chainmail is simply incapable of withstanding the force of a bullet, or any firearm.
In the end, titanium is bulletproof for the most part against bullets fired from guns that one would likely find on the shooting range, on the street or on the hunt in the mountains. Most guns legally bought and owned by individuals will likely not penetrate titanium.
The Musketeers carried guns called muskets. This was a powerful weapon, the ball of which could go through armour. They did not wear any armour. Instead they wore leather coats, which could protect from a sword but could not stop a musket ball.

Rubber bullets are known as "less-lethal" weapons, often used by law enforcement to help quash riots.
The bigger bullet holds together on impact to do more damage while the mass allows for a longer range and better accuracy because it's affected less by wind. Smaller bullets over too great a distance will shatter on impact, doing minimal damage and being less effective.

Tungsten: The Strongest Metal on Earth
Coming in at an ultimate strength of 1510 Megapascals, tungsten is one of the toughest metals known to man. Besides tungsten's superior strength, the metal also has the highest melting point of any unalloyed metal.
Every bow has a draw weight. Some compound bows can be adjusted over a 50-pound range, such as 15 to 65 pounds, while others offer a smaller range of poundage adjustment such as 10 pounds.. Every person has an ideal draw weight. Some archers easily pull 30 pounds, and others can pull over 70 pounds.
What makes a bow more powerful?
The longer the draw length, the longer the effective powerstroke. This factor, as well, will make the bow propel the arrow faster and more powerfully.

The bones, recovered from a Dominican friary in Exeter, show arrows fired from longbows could penetrate right through the human skull, creating small entry and large exit wounds.
Arrow wounds to the thorax had to be evaluated carefully for penetration into the lung, in which case the individual would die 72% of the time [2]. Unlike a bullet wound, arrow wounds rarely resulted in the collapse of the lung, as the arrow usually remained lodged within the thorax.
According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, published in 1905, nothing can exceed the speed of light. That speed, explained Einstein, is a fundamental constant of nature: It appears the same to all observers anywhere in space.
The Bow is incredibly strong, arguably one of the best ranged weapons in the game. It serves as a harder-hitting alternative to the Musket, although you'll have to get used to the Bow's travel time and various abilities. In its current state, the Bow is the perfect weapon for PVP.
Arrows tended to have a greater effective range than "shot" at this time. Early muskets were only "good" up to around 90 meters compared to archers at around 365 meters or so. Firearms were much more capable of penetrating armor and had a much faster velocity than arrows.
Bows are easier and cheaper to produce than firearms. Bows like the English longbow are more accurate over greater distances than a musket in the hands of a well-trained archer.
Most muskets were lethal up to about 175 yards, but was only “accurate” to about 100 yards, with tactics dictating volleys be fired at 25 to 50 yards. Because a portion of the powder in a cartridge was used to prime the pan, it was impossible to ensure a standard amount of powder was used in each shot.
They can hit a 2-inch spot at 20 yards, a 4-inch spot at 40 yards, and a 6-inch spot at 60 yards. When you arrive at this level of accuracy with broadhead-tipped elk arrows, you have reached the pinnacle of archery ability.
Can a musket penetrate a shield?
Muskets of the 16th–19th centuries were accurate enough to hit a target of 50 cm (20 in) in diameter at a distance of 100 m (330 ft). At the same distance, musket bullets could penetrate a steel bib about 4 mm (0.16 in) thick, or a wooden shield about 130 mm (5.1 in) thick.
While modern bows can shoot arrows up to 400 yards at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour, the bow is a short-range hunting tool. Depending on the circumstances, the maximum distance is 30 to 40 yards. At that range, it's common for an arrow to pass completely through an animal.
Muskets had the advantage of a faster rate of fire, for example a trained British soldier could fire three rounds a minute, while a rifleman would average two. A muzzle-loaded weapon required the bullet to fit snugly into the barrel.
