Well not exactly. There were "sharpshooter units" in both the Continental and British forces. One British sharpshooter "passed" on a shot at G. Washington, not knowing who the officer was. Bad move.
Plus many folks hunted with their muskets. They used them like shotguns by loading shot. The same "ball" loads they used in the line would be quite good on deer sized game, but you'd have to get close, and "aim small".
The Regulars had to through Lexington, but their target was militia stores at Concord. These included musket balls, (the muskets were at the homes of the militiamen), powder, and other stores such as flour, preserved meats, tents. Most importantly, 3 cannon. Yes, crew served weapons. The regulars got some of the stuff, threw the musket balls in the mill pond. They got the carriages for the cannon, but not the cannon themselves. Those were hidden in furrows on the north side of the North Bridge, and then plowed over. The farmer was still in the field, plowing, when a detachment of regulars marched by. Here is one of those cannon, preserved to this day. The setting is a house/musem near the reconstructed North Bridge.
