Since your question is in the American revolution category, I will limit the answer to the muskets used in that conflict.
The muskets used in the period were American, French, Belgian, German, to name a few, and were anywhere from 65 cailber to 80 caliber.
The efeective range for these types of guns were 60 yards, give or take....meaning they were accurate to that distance. The killing range of the gun, from an errant shot, was around 200 yards. After that, the bullet velocity was spent to the point that if was not capable of inflicting a fatal wound, in most cases.

What was better to use in the civil war a musket or saber?
The Saber was defiantly a faster more agile weapon but it was not long ranged like the Musket, there is also the accuracy factor when you shoot a musket straight it is most likely to hit the floor or next to where you shot. If you miss with the Musket and the other person had a Saber you would die or be harshly injured. My choice would be the Saber for speed, accuracy, and agility.
