<p>During the Golden Age of piracy, firearms played a crucial role in pirate warfare, offering versatility in ship and land combat. While swords like the cutlass and cannons are often associated with pirates, handheld firearms were their preferred choice. Muskets, in particular, became the most favored weapon. Compared to cannons, which were costly and required significant manpower, muskets were cheaper, easier to use, and adaptable. Pirates valued firearms for their range and ability to inflict damage both on enemy crews and rigging. Muskets could be used effectively in various scenarios, including boarding combat, ship engagements, and hunting.</p>
