Artist misspelled "muskets".

Going by wiktionary it's an obsolete spelling for musket, closer to the Middle French for musket, mousquet. Did verify it does appear as the equivalent of "musquet" in the 1786 A Treatise on Ancient Armour and Weapons as cited by Wiktionary. Just replace the "s" with the "long s" in the spelling.
