Weapons Of The Civil War By:

Shoulder Arms ntnthe Shoulder arm rifle nSnSmooth-bore rifle and Shotgun

Shoulder Arms II n Great technical improvements made to this weapon in the first half of the 19th century were tested and improved upon during the war years. n The rifled barrel improved range and accuracy, the breech-loading system made loading easier, and the percussion lock increased reliability.

Swords nTnThe bayonet was a standard piece of equipment for both the North and the South. nTnThe sword was a symbol of strength. nTnThe bayonet was for hand to hand combat.

Swords II nWnWhen used skillfully, the bayonet charge could be a very effective tactic. nanalthough it seldom resulted in prolonged hand-to-hand combat. nWnWhen compared to firearms, bayonets accounted for very few wounds.

Bayonet nTnThe bayonet is just like a sword. nTnThe bayonet hooks on to the end of the rifle. nInIt was not used a lot in war because not many soldiers like the bayonet.

Bayonet II nTnThe Bayonet seemed to be used more in cooking nAnAnd as a makeshift candle holder than in battle. nTnThe bayonet was used on the end of the rifle to stab a person in hand to hand combat.

Side Arms - The Pistol nLnLike shoulder arms, side arms appeared in many forms during the Civil War, The officers of the war would be he person to carry this gun. nAnA few months of duty were usually enough to convince an infantryman that for him a pistol was useless weight; a rifle was all he needed

The Colt Revolver n.44 Caliber Revolver is one of the most historical hand gun of all black powder revolvers n With genuine walnut grips n And a outstanding shooting gun

Cannons nAnAt the beginning of the war, the guns in service were a mix of 6- and 12-pound smoothbores left over from the Mexican War. nInIn addition, there were a number of cannons bought in limited numbers to fill shortages in the field making them hard to get for the war.

Cannons II n1n12-pound smoothbore, with either 6 Napoleon (Light Gun Howitzers Model 1857) or four Napoleons and two Model 1841 Howitzers nTnThey were most useful against troops at a range of one mile or less ntnthey threw a large shell (4.62 inches) and a deadly canister round. n [A howitzer is meant to fire in a higher trajectory than a gun, has a chamber at the breech, and is lighter than a gun of the same bore]. n3n3 -inch Ordnance Rifle, used to attack the enemy's batteries from over a mile away, with a maximum range of 4,000 yards. -10-pound Parrott Rifles, used as the Ordnance Rifles.

Guns Today nGnGuns today are a lot more powerful. nTnThey are a lot easier to load. nAnAnd they are also about the same size as guns in the civil war. nAnAfter the Civil War gun making became a big bussiness.
