¿ What happened to captured muskets after a battle ?

Just watched the video The India Pattern Brown Bess: An Introduction for my nightly dose of gun porn. BTW, I highly recommend as it is very well done. At the end, he reviewed historical references of the Brown Bess use in combat. What piqued by interest was the quote he read about capturing French muskets.

Curious on what happened to captured muskets after a battle. Anyone know what was done with captured muskets?

This has been kicked around a bit with out a lot of firm answers.
French guns seem to have gotten in to British colonial armories. And British besses were put in to the American army.
In India it seems the Indians used them when they could.
Often enemy arms were destroyed recycled in to nation arm material
