Let's see shall we

Long Range 

Both of these weapons were actually used by the British at the same time with the Brown Bess with both serving different purposes. The Brown Bess was the standard infantry firearm and had a faster rate of fire due to a much less complex and fiddly reloading system which meant it could fire double the number of shots in a minute that a Baker Rifle could. The Baker was primarily used by Rifle Regiments and was more reliable than a musket and while it has a slower rate of fire it made up for this with superior range and accuracy. As both were readily used often alongside each other I can't really give an edge.

Edge: Even

Mid Range 

The Blunderbuss is a really overrated weapon and while it certainly packed a punch it had a very short range and was prone to misfires due to it's primitive design. The Flintlock Pistol has the range advantage and could be fired more accurately but again it was also prone to misfire and soldiers often carried two just in case of a misfire. I'm going to have to call it even again here as both weapons suffer from the same drawback and the advantages each has over the other evens out.

Edge: Even
