I hate the Musket argument, when I explain that Muskets were the bees knees back then and that military and people were just about equaly armed in those times aka way heavier than today I get blank stares and then the reeeing starts.

also that civilians owned cannons....

I mean, you can still own a black powder cannon and not need a tax stamp, but back then when the biggest weapons were cannons, and anyone who wanted to and had the money could own a cannon, it would be like owning a missile today.
