Muskets have smooth bores and rifles have rifling - spiral grooves to make the bullet spin. Rifles have longer range and better accuracy. Both were originally muzzleloaders, but rifles eventually began to use metallic cartridges.
At least since the 13th century
Walther gets my vote. --------------------- New Answer--------------------------------------------------------- The finest .177 calibre air rifles are Olympic Competition .177 air rifles. These will fall to the Feinwerkbau line of Olympic rifles. However these are not cheap. The average cost is around $2500. Next in line are rifles made by AirForce airguns. Benjamin PCP airguns, Webley & Scott PCP air guns, Daystate LTD airguns and a few other PCP (PreCharged Pneumatin) air gun companies. Crosman, Gamo and Avante make fine air guns and rifles but are not as accurate as the ones previously mentioned.
Not much. They both make inexpensive to very expensive air rifles.
I do not think there is any legislation in the United States surrounding Blackpowder rifles at all.
