Plunging fire wasn't really a thing until cartridge rifles entered the scene, a musket might (rarely) kill two guys standing in a row. Musketeers stood in ranks.

Now while we would assume that an elf with a bow would mog a musketeer absolutely, it would depend, obviously. The duskier and browner the musketeer, the more extreme his mogging would necessarily be. Swarthoids are notoriously inept marksmen, and worse, notoriously prone to panic and flight, because the melanin in their skin seeps into their amygdala and causes increased cortisol release in stressful situations. Ever seen a brown person reload a musket quickly? No of course not, and this is for a good reason.

Orcs, obviously being swarthy and dark in countenance, could not possibly be expected to lay down continuous and effective fire. Especially not against Elves, who are white, and thus emit a racism field that oppresses swarthoids, filling them with a fear of work, and a desire to steal and play loud music.
