Weapons in the Civil War
PISTOLS, CARBINES, AND MUSKETS
PARROT RIFFLES, AND HOWITZERS
THERE WERE ALOT OF GUNS AND FIELD RIFLES USED IN THE CIVIL WAR AND THE ONES LISTED ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THERE ARE SO MUCH MORE. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY THEY USED SO MANY, WELL I DO BUT THEY USED MILLIONS. BUT I DONT SEE WHY THEY USED MILLIONS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF GUNS.
HOWITZERS ARE BASICALLY CANNON RIFFLES, SAME WITH PARROT RIFFLES. THESE PICS ARE A MIX OF PARROTS, AND HOWITZERS.
THESE PICS ARE A MIX OF RIFFLES, MUSKETS, AND PISTOLS.THERE ARE MORE TYPES OF THESE FIRE ARMS THAN CANNON RIFFLES.
A LITTLE PARAGRAPH I FOUND ON THE INTERNET.
Loading a Musket (1) lower musket to ground, (2) handle cartridge, (3) tear cartridge, (4) charge cartridge, (5) draw rammer, (6) ram cartridge twice, (7) return rammer, (8) cast-about [return gun to firing position], (9) prime [insert primer cap], (10) cock the hammer and point the rifle. Trained soldiers were expected to complete these steps in 20 seconds and be able to fire three aimed bullets per minute. -http://www.nps.gov/archive/anti/rifles.htm
