So is Brown Bess the military winner and was it produced for 116 years or used?
If produced only the Ma Deuce has a chance to eclipse it?

Older, specifically the Arquebus ....over 300 years...The musket
The hand cannon was widely used in China from the 13th century onward and later throughout Europe in the 14th century until at least the 1560s, when it was supplanted by the matchlock arquebus, which is the first firearm to have a trigger.
