I just need clarification on the arquebuse, wasn't it a single shot, ball-and-powder weapon? Even in a volley formation, their lines could have been broken by an onslaught of opponents, right? And when one didn't have the time to load his firearm, he would have to rely on hand to hand combat or not?
