  1) Standard ammunition for these stats is a round ball fired from a smooth or mildly-rifled (very slow twist) barrel.
  2) A standard ammunition “case” for blackpowder rounds consists of enough balls and powder for 50 shots of ammunition. 
  3) “Cases” of balls and shot weight 2 kg per “case: One measure of powder weighs 0.02 kg, and one ball weighs 0.02 kg.
  Magnum powder loads take 2 loads of powder per shot.  A Minie Ball weighs 0.05 kg per shot.  A rifled ball weighs 0.03 kg
  per shot.
  4) Use base range, and increase rifled weapons’ range by 1.5 times; however, increase loading times by two steps (so 1/6
  would become 1/8). This is for rifled balls only, and simulates the difficulty in ramming the ball down the barrel.  Such a
  weapon can also fire standard balls; in this case, the increase in damage and range does not apply.
  5) This increase in loading time does not apply to inline firearms or rifles firing Minie Ball or similar types of rounds.  If
  something like a Minie Ball or inline rifle is used, double range (ranges for inlines will already be doubled in the stats below). 
  6) If a blackpowder weapon has a rifled barrel and is designed for rifled balls, increase cost by 1.5 times.  If designed for
  something like a Minie Ball, increase costs by 1.9 times.  (Inlines double costs, but this is already figured in the stats below.)
  7) If a blackpowder weapon is designed to fire rifled balls, increase range by 1.5 times. 
  8) If the weapon is an inline or designed to fire Minie Ball-type rounds, double range.
  9) Some rifles are stressed for magnum loads, and are given in the stats below, If a magnum load is loaded into a non-
  magnum firearm (standard loads are designed to take a man down), increase damage by one point and go the next level of
  penetration, but the weapon is 5% likely (cumulative) to be damaged per shot. 
  10) Buck-and-ball shots give two extra 1d6-damage rounds per shot and the extra balls otherwise act like a shotguns and
  use shotgun rules, but range is reduced to 0.75 times normal.
  11) Weapons given in their description as “rifles” will have their range adjusted in the stats, unless stated otherwise in the
  description.
  12) Revolvers are a special case; they will have two reloading times under ROF.  The first is to fire the revolver; the second is
  to reload all the chambers.
   
  These rules are preliminary, especially the weight figures for powder and balls.

  Adams Percussion Revolver
       Notes: Made in London, England, the Adams revolver was sold to both the Union and Confederate sides during the Civil War.  (It
  bears a distinct resemblance to the Webley RIC.)  It is a big revolver, 12 inches long with a barrel of 6 inches.  All metal parts are
  blued, while the grips are walnut.  Though a British-made revolver, the Adams was designed to appeal to the US market as well as the
  British market.  it was, however, hand-made, which made must more expensive than Colt revolvers, the main competition.  This is why
  only about 3000 were made between 1857-1866.  It was adopted by the East India Company cavalry, and bought by many British
  officers and used in the Crimean War.  After the Indian Mutiny of 1857, it became the standard British revolver until revolvers firing
  metallic cartridges were made  It should be noted that the Adams was unusual for its time in being a double-action revolver; in fact, it
  cannot be fired in single-action, as the hammer cannot be cocked manually.  This meant that the Adams could be fired much faster
  than the Colt revolvers of the time, but also that the Adams had a long trigger pull that made it less accurate than the Colt revolvers.. 
  It lacked a recoil shield behind the cylinder, which made the firer susceptible to powder burns when the blackpowder went off. The .44
  caliber was the one used by the US and Confederate militaries; the .36 caliber was used by some British officers using this revolver.

  AN IX De Gendarmerie 1805-1819
       Notes: Known simply as the An IX Gendarmerie; this pistol was original designed for use by police forces.  The official model
  number is S.331. Lengthwise, it is sort of mid-length between a derringer and a full-sized pistol; when wartime use ensued, it was
  used in braces by cavalrymen and in pairs by infantry officers,  Some 32000 were produced; with a 6-inch barrel finished with nickel
  plating and in fine walnut.  It is of flintlock operation. and is short at 250 total millimeters,

  Boutet 1er Empire
       Notes: Napoleon's favorite firearm, the 1er Empire was designed by one of Europe's premier firearms designers in the Napoleonic
  Era, Nicolas-Noel Boutet. The pistol has a full dark walnut stock with the stock high on the barrel and a browned barrel.  The grip looks
  clumsy, being a simple curved grip with an endcap, but rides well in the hand and gives a good hold on the weapon.  The butt has a
  metal plate.  The ramrod has a horn tip.

  Colt Model 1851 Navy
       Notes: Originally known as the Ranger Revolver, Colt sold almost half a million of these handguns.  It was produced at the behest
  Colt Walker and Dragoon revolver users, who felt that their Walkers and Dragoons were too heavy, and they asked Colt for something
  lighter.  Like most revolvers of this time, they used a paper cartridge tipped by a lead ball, with percussion caps to the rear of every
  cylinder.  They were significantly lighter than the Walkers and Dragoons, but we all known what this means -- more felt recoil and
  barrel climb.  One of the reasons for this is the much-smaller caliber of the ball, which also quite anemic in terms of damage.  The
  cocking lever was shorter on this revolver, and metal parts were of blued steel.  Barrel length is 7.5 inches, and is rifled. Ignition is by
  percussion cap.
       On the Second Model, The frame and cylinder are case-hardened.  It has a barrel-length cocking lever, and has some other minor
  mechanical and cosmetic changes.  It is otherwise identical to the First Model for game purposes.  The third model had bright steel for
  the metalwork. Like the second model, it has primarily cosmetic and minor mechanical changes, but is identical to the First Model for
  game purposes.  The Fourth Model is the same as the First Model in game terms, also.
       A very small amounts of the Navy's Model 1851 were in .34 Caliber instead of .36.  Replicas today often have the caliber incorrectly
  at .44 caliber; these have stats, too, in case the players encounter one of these incorrect-caliber replicas.
       The Manhattan Navy Revolver was for most purposes the same as the Model 1851 Navy in .36 caliber.  It blends the Model 1849
  Pocket (not here due to a lack of sufficient information) and the Model 1851 Navy. It has an octagonal barrel instead of a round one,
  and they were 4, 5, 6, and 6.5 inches (later Manhattan revolvers omitted the 6-inch barrel, and added a 4.5-inch barrel). About 70,000
  were built in all barrel lengths.
       The Metropolitan Navy Revolver is an almost exact copy of the Model 1851 Navy 3rd Model, except for its octagonal barrel and
  using combustible paper cartridges.

  Colt Model 1855 Sidehammer
       Notes: known as a sidehammer revolver because the hammer is right of center, the Model 1855 was sort of the most concealable
  weapon of the time (after derringers) in its shorter-barrel iterations. The Model 1855 is also known as the Root Revolver after it's chief
  designer, Elisha K Root. It has a standard design for a Colt revolver of the time: flared walnut grip, cocking lever under the barrel, and
  a smooth cylinder with percussion cap nipples at the rear of it. Part of the reason it is so small is what also makes a bit anemic -- the
  small round it fires.  There are several iterations, but the ones of note are below;
       The 1st Model has a 3.14-inch barrel; the 2nd Model has a 3.5-inch barrel. Both have cylinders engraved with various scenes, or
  on the 3rd Model a fluted cylinder.  Other than these, they are identical for game purposes.  On the Model 1855 .31 Caliber, some
  types have a 4.5-inch barrel, and the rest have 3.5-inch barrels.
       Some 32,000 of these revolvers were made, all told.

  Colt Model 1860 Army
       Notes: The Model 1860 was the most used revolver of the Civil War, used by the Union, Confederacy, and even some Native
  American tribes who generally got them on what we would call today the black market. Built on the Model 1851 frame, the Model 1860
  also has a similar action to the Model 1851, including the hammer split into a V-Notch, allowing it to serve as a rear sight.  Something
  that is not so apparent at first glance is the shorter forcing cone for the barrel; this allows for a longer cylinder and the Model 1860 is
  also stressed for Magnum loads because of this.  The cylinder is rebated, smaller at the rear than the front, making it easier to load
  with black powder.  The 8-inch barrel was smoothed into the frame; at first glance, it looks like a half-octagonal barrel, but it is not.  For
  the time and design, it is relatively light, though it is a large revolver.  It can use both loose powder and ball and combustible-case
  paper charges.  Some First Models were also available with a 7.5-inch barrel. (This is often called the Texas Model, because their
  order came to Texas shortly after the secession.) Cylinders may be fluted or round; and round cylinders are generally engraved with
  Western scenes.  The metalwork is mostly iron, though they had a steel barrel and brass trigger guards. Some are slotted for use with
  a removable stock; these are often called Martial Models in a mistaken belief that they were sold only to the military. With a full recoil
  shield, they are often called Civilian Models, in the same sort of mistaken belief. A rare version, with only 65 built, is the Navy
  Revolver; this differs primarily in the size of the grips, and is identical to the Army revolver for game purposes.
       Second Model versions all had 8-inch barrels.  They also had longer grips, done because of suggestions from First Model users. 
  They have black walnut instead of regular walnut grips.
       The Third Models all have round cylinders.  They all had 8-inch barrels. The versions that take a stock have the lower part of the
  recoil shield milled away, which helps it sit right in the hand when used with the stock attached. Versions designed for a stock also
  have a two-leaf folding sight.
       The Fourth Model was built until 1872, when more modern revolvers became popular.  Construction began in 1863; virtually all of
  them went to Northern civilians or military forces, until 1866, when sales to Southern units and civilians became popular.  Versions
  with stocks had the milled-away lower recoil shield of the Third Model, as well as the mistaken Martial Model/Civilian Model name. All
  had 8-inch barrels.  Those with stocks lacked the leaf sights of the Third Model.
       The three later models are all identical for game purposes to the First Model with 8-inch barrels, except for differences noted.
       Some 200,000 of these revolvers were built, with the Fourth Model being the most popular.
       Though designed for naval personnel, the Model 1861 Navy was also used by many cavalry personnel, as the lighter recoil was
  
  Blackpowder Handguns
  blackpowder_handguns.html[12/13/2017 11:55:25 AM]
  more manageable when horsed.  Though it suffered over its Army counterpart with damage, it's 7.5-inch barrel gave it decent range. 
  Like the Army, the Navy was fed with either loose blackpowder or a combustible-case paper cartridge with a ball glued onto the end. 
  (It was recommended to users by Colt that the combustible cases be used if at all possible, to avoid excess fouling due to paper
  residue). When shooting blackpowder, use the ROF figures for the Model 1860 Army. It is very similar to the Army, though smaller due
  to the smaller caliber.  The first 100 examples had a fluted cylinder; the rest had a round cylinder with engraving showing the Mexican
  Navy fighting with the Texan Navy.  Another 100, later on, were slotted for a detachable stock; these also had the lower part of the
  recoil shield milled away.  The backstrap was usually silver-plated, but this usually wore away under hard use in the Civil War.  The
  Model 1862 Pocket Navy was more often used by civilians; it is basically a standard Model 1861 Navy, but with shorter 4.5, 5.5, or
  6.5-inch barrels.  The Model 1862 had a 6.5-inch barrel only and was lighter, but otherwise for game purposes is identical to the
  Pocket Navy.  The barrel on these two models was octagonal.

  Colt Walker Model
       Notes: There were several variations of this revolver; most differ only in markings or metalwork finish, and minor construction and
  sometimes mechanical details.  The original was the Colt Walker Whitneyville, which was designed in a cooperation between Texas
  Ranger Samuel Walker and Samuel Colt.  It was meant to be a handgun which was powerful at short range, and not meant for long
  ranges.  Even so, there are records of rather long range shots for a handgun; one killed a Mexican soldier at a range of about 100
  meters, though it was probably a very lucky shot, probably with a stock attached. The cylinders are loaded one at a time, with a paper
  
  Blackpowder Handguns
  blackpowder_handguns.html[12/13/2017 11:55:25 AM]
  cartridge and ball, and with percussion caps for each cylinder.  The Republic of Texas had been a major customer of the Walker's
  predecessor, the Colt Paterson, and eagerly purchased the new revolver.  The year the revolver named for him entered service with
  the Texas Rangers (1847), Walker was killed in the Mexican-American War while serving with the US Mounted Rifles. This US
  Mounted Rifles use was the first time a revolver had been adopted by the US military. The Walker revolver used a half-octagonal 9-
  inch rifled barrel; most were finished in bright iron.  The Walker had no barrel catch, but it was a popular retrofit.
       The Whitneyville-Hartford is for the most part the same as the Whitneyville, but uses a 7.5-inch barrel.
       The Model 1848 Dragoon (also known as the Walker Dragoon) First Model was very similar to the Whitneyville-Hartford, differing
  primarily in fit and finish, though some were slotted to accept a stock.  The Second Model was also quite similar.  Both are identical to
  the Whitneyville-Hartford for game purposes, except when using a stock.  The Third Model barrels were available in 7.5 or 8 inches,
  and the hammer had a V-notch to act as the rear sight.  It is otherwise the same for game purposes as the First and Second Models. 
  The Baby Dragoon was also similar, but in a smaller caliber and with barrels of 3, 4, 5, or 6 inches, and with primarily brass
  construction.  The Pocket model is identical to the Baby for game purposes; it was probably the most produced of the Walker-type
  revolvers, with 340,000 being built.
       Samuel Colt had so many orders for these revolvers that he had to build a new factory at Hartford just for these orders.

  LeMat
      Notes: Invented by Jean Alexandre LeMat of New Orleans; the LeMat's manufacture was backed PGT Beauregard, who later
  became a General in the Confederate Army.  Manufacture actually took place in Liege, Belgium and Paris, France; they were
  smuggled to the Confederacy via Bermuda -- before then, they went through Birmingham, England, who at first supported the
  Confederacy and actually sent advisors.  About 100, however, were made in Pennsylvania, including the first 25, which were
  prototypes.  A few Union soldiers obtained LeMats out of these first 100, as well as a few Northern civilians.  Confederate officers went
  nuts for the LeMat, and it became the trademark of Confederate cavalry officers in particular and also most of the command echelon
  (and it is rumored, Jefferson Davis himself).  Some 2900 were eventually produced; they were built from 1861-65, with manufacture
  stopping almost in tandem with the Confederate surrender.  Due to their shotgun barrel, they were often called the Grapeshot
  Revolver.  It goes without saying that the LeMat is a big revolver, though not unduly heavy.
       The LeMat design was unique in that is employed eight cylinders, something that would not be seen until about the mid-1900s, and
  for the barrel under the primary barrel.  This barrel fired a shotgun charge, and though there have been revolvers that fired shotgun
  
  Blackpowder Handguns
  blackpowder_handguns.html[12/13/2017 11:55:25 AM]
  shells since then, none of them employed a separate barrel to do it.  The shotgun barrel was independent of the cylinder, and loaded
  separately.  Firing the shotgun barrel is primarily defensive, due to the short range. The action was single action, and a lever at the
  end of the hammer was used to change between firing the bullet cylinders and firing the shotgun barrel.  The shotgun barrel could be
  loaded with any mix of shot that the shooter wanted (or could get a hold of); the stats below are some of the common loadings.  Most
  metalwork is blued or bright finished; the bullet barrel was 6.75 inches and the shotgun barrel length 4 inches.  A ramrod was nested
  between these barrels, and used to load both the cylinders and the shotgun barrel. At first, the LeMat had a .42-caliber rifled bullet
  barrel and a smoothbore .63-caliber shotgun barrel (approximately 16 gauge, which is used for the stats below).  The bullet barrel
  used a non-standard caliber, and this could sometimes make getting balls for loading the cylinders problematic. Later, a lighter .35-
  caliber barrel was used, but this was still a non-standard caliber.  This version was also fitted with a .55-caliber shotgun barrel (28
  gauge).  The bulk of LeMats therefore had .36 or .44-caliber bullet barrels, which were the two most common caliber of revolver balls
  at the time. A very few of the last bunch, about 100, were slotted for stocks.
       The Transitional Model was, as the name suggests, built as the First Model, but with some features of the Second Model.  The
  Second Model was the bulk of the LeMats, and numbered about 2000 built.

  Marston Pocket Model
       Notes: This revolver was made in seven versions, most of which differ from each other only in markings or finish or minor
  mechanical details.  These differences are, for the most part, the same in game terms. They have 4-inch octagonal barrels, and the
  finish for all the metalwork is blued; the cylinder is browned.  The grips are of smooth walnut. All of these revolvers were designed to
  use combustible cases and using straight blackpowder tends to foul the barrels more quickly.
       Some 13,000 or these revolvers were built.  They were marketed to civilians as the Union (named for the company that actually
  built the Pocket Model -- Marston was the designer of the revolver), the Phenix (no, that is not a misspelling), and the Western. The
  Type 4 uses a fluted cylinder instead of round cylinder, but this was changed back with the 6th and 7th Models.  The VI and VII
  models also are six-shooters; the rest of the models were five-shooters.
       The Pocket Model is a smaller version of the Navy Model, which had an 8-inch octagonal model for most of its development. 
  Model III had a round barrel. Both of these revolvers (the Pocket and Navy Model) are based on the Whitney Navy Revolver design.

  Perrin Model 1860
       Notes: The Perrin was one of the first crop of metallic cartridge handguns.  Basic features of the Perrin include an open-top frame,
  a spurless hammer, a cylinder pin that doubles as an ejector rod. The loading gate was on First Models was hinged at the bottom and
  swung out and up; the Second Model's loading gate was hinged at the top and swung out and up.  Another version of the Second
  Model used a loading gate that was hinged at the top and swung back.  The Third Model had a loading gate that was hinged at the
  bottom and swung down.  For game purposes, all three are identical, except that the Perrin came in 5.5 and 6-inch barrels.
       The Union used the First and Second Models.  There may have been Confederate use, but details are sketchy.

  Remington-Beals Navy
       Notes: This is another large family of revolvers.  It started when Fordyce Beals patented his revolver design, then allowed
  Remington to build the revolver for use by the Union Navy and Marines.  It was Remington's first military firearm. It used an octagonal
  7.5-inch barrel in a frame and cylinder that was finished blued.  It could be thumb-cocked or using an "ear" on the cylinder.  The
  cylinder latch post is dovetailed into the barrel in early models, the rest are screwed in.  The grip part of the hammer is a hand-cut
  diamond pattern; the hammer is high, too high for some people, with smaller hands. On early models, the frame screws are made
  from silver; later versions use brass screws.  The grip is oil-finished walnut. Only 175 of these Type I revolvers were built. Type II, III,
  and IV have minor mechanical differences; they are identical in game terms. Some 14,500 were built.
       The Army model used an 8-inch barrel, but is otherwise the same as the Type IV Navy.  Only 1850 of these were build due to a
  bureaucratic foul-ups at the War Department.
       The Remington Elliot Navy Revolver is also known as the Model 1861 Navy or the Old Model Navy. It is mostly the same as the
  Remington-Beals Navy for game purposes, but has a 7.375-inch barrel.  Approximately 4500 were built.  The Army version had an 8-
  inch barrel., but is otherwise the same as the Navy Model for game purposes.
       The Remington Model 1863 Navy had a hammer spur not as high as on the Remington-Beals Navy.  Otherwise, it is identical to the
  Remington Elliot Navy for game purposes.  It had an 8-inch octagonal barrel; early versions used silver front sights. Most Model 1862
  Navy revolvers used a brass front sight which was a pinched cylindrical front sight.  It used a 7.375-inch barrel.  The Remington Model
  1863 Army is the same as the Remington Model 1863 Navy for game purposes, except for its 8-inch barrel.  The New Model Police is
  also the same for game purposes, except for using 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5-inch barrel.  The New Model Belt version is also the same for
  game purposes, except that it used only the 6.5-inch barrel. 
       The Remington-Rider Pocket is mostly identical for game purposes, except for the smaller caliber.  It too used a 6.5-inch barrel. For
  game purposes, the Remington-Rider New Model Belt is identical to New Model Belt above.
       All told, almost 200,000 of these revolvers were built.  They were one of the most numerous firearms in the Civil War.

  Savage Model 1861 Navy
       Notes: One of the first you notice about the Model 1861 Navy is the big enlarged trigger guard, extending from the frame and
  meeting the grip near the bottom.  This Though 20,000 were built, only 10,800 were bought by the War Department; the rest were
  bought by civilians or the Confederacy (though the numbers of 1861 Navy Revolvers used by the Confederacy was small). The Model
  1861 Navy was offered for sale to veterans of the Civil War, but only 17 veterans did so. It has a flat recoil shield behind the cylinders. 
  The Union Navy actually bought only 800 of these revolvers, and some 10,000 went to the Army. The standard Model 1861 Navy had
  7.125-inch barrel, but some rare specimens had a 23-inch barrel and a shoulder stock. (Imagine what it would be like to shoot this
  version without the stock!  I try to do this below, though it probably does not capture the actual experience.) The barrel was finished
  blued, and the rest of the metalwork was case-hardened.

  Smith & Wesson No 2 Army
       Notes: The No 2 Army, also called the Model 2 Army and the Old Model Army, was a revolver that combined new features of the
  time with old features, some of which hadn't been seen in a while.  While there were no large government orders of this revolver, it
  was bought in large numbers by the friend and family of their soldiers on the front or by the soldiers themselves before they went to
  the front; I do mean large, as 77,155 were built (but they were built until 1873).  Though there were no official sales to military on
  record, several commanders bought them for their troops.  It is possible that General Grant himself carried one of these into battle, as
  well as bought several for his fellow officers.  There were also civilian sales (for the civilians themselves) and possibly an abnormal
  number to various criminals and street gangs.  However, since were bought individually and gun records were not what they are now,
  records on its use are sparse.
       The No 2 Army was fed by modern (for the time) metallic rimfire cartridges, but also uses an unshrouded spur triggerlike many
  older pistols and derringers.  The frame and cylinder were of wrought iron instead of the steels which becoming more and more
  common (though the barrel was steel).  However, since the cylinder is removed to reload it, one can carry several loaded cylinders
  and simply switch them out when needed.  This gives a reload time of 1/2 when cylinders are used this way.  (This the third ROF
  below.) It used an easy-to-grip hammer for thumb cocking; it also used an ejector rod that is difficult to get a hold of in combat
  situations.  The No 2 Army breaks open to expose the cylinder; to unload, the rammer pin, which forces out the spent shells, engages
  them one shell at a time, forcing them out one shall at a time.  This makes ROF figures a bit longer than they otherwise might be.
  Those built with 5 or 6-inch barrels were common; less common were 4, 8, and 10-inch barrels.

  Starr Model 1858 Revolver
       Notes: This a set of three revolvers.  The first two, the Navy and Army, are separated only by their caliber and a large weight
  difference.  The Army revolver was made much lighter to be handier to troops on the ground, especially those on horseback.  Most
  other differences are minor details and not important for game purposes; most of these differences the heavier caliber of the Army
  Model. 
       The Model 1863 Army is similar from a design standpoint, though is it quite different mechanically, being single-action  and able to
  be thumb-cocked.  This made it preferable to the Union Army, and it the third most numerous revolver in the Civil War.  Most Union
  generals carried one, and many high-ranking officers and some mid-level ones.  All three are fed by combustible nitrided paper
  cartridges; these have ball of the appropiriate size glued onto the front of the paper cartridge, just inside of the paper.  Like most
  combustible case rounds, the paper and powder are ignited by a percussion cap.
       The barrel of the first two is 6 inches and round (8 inches on the Model 1863).  Finish of the metal is mostly blued.  One thing that
  strikes me is how...ordinary...the Starr looks -- it looks most modern revolvers.  Except for aging, you might at first glance mistake it for
  any number of modern reproductions.
       Three places you may have seen the Starr in the past few years include the movie Unforgiven, where Clint Eastwood's character
  uses one to see if he has retained his skill with a revolver, by the Kevin Costner character of young Wyatt Earp in the movie of the
  same name, and in Rambo, First Blood, where it is seen in a display case.

  US Model 1836 Percussion
       Notes: This handgun was originally a flintlock handgun; in the1850s, the design was changed to use a percussion ignition
  combustible cartridge.  The breech section was removed, replaced with a mechanism allowing a combustible cartridge/ball round; the
  handgun is muzzleloaded.  The Model 1836 had a short cleaning rod under the barrel and going into the fore-end.  The barrel was
  fairly long for a handgun at 8.5 inches, but this allowed decent range for the Model 1836's type of handgun.
       The US Model 1836 Percussion spawned a number of identical versions except for cosmetic and mechanism changes.  They are
  all identical to the Model 1836 for game purposes. The US Navy Model 1842 Boxlock was also used by the US Cutter Service; it
  differed from the Model 1836 by having a 6-inch barrel. This design also had a number of contracts to build it, and these are identical
  for game purposes.  They have a fixed rear V-notch sight and a front bead; these versions had a rifled barrel, where earlier versions
  had a smoothbore barrel.  Many have engraved scenes on the cylinders -- wildlife, Indian fighting, Civil War, cavalry, and from the

  Mexican-American War.  There are especially prevalent on Walkers used by US or Texan military officers who bought their Walker
  privately and on Texas Rangers' weapons.
       Some 80,000 of all these versions were manufactured, and most of these were used by the Union military in the Civil War and in
  the Mexican-American War.

  US Model 1855 Pistol-Carbine
       Notes: This is similar in appearance to the Model 1836, as well as being similar is its functioning.  However, the rear of the grip has
  an adapter for use with a removable stock, turning it into a short-barreled carbine.  It also uses a combustible cartridge, a round ball,
  and is muzzleloaded.  The barrel is 12 inches long and is brass, as is almost all of the metalwork (and is finished bright). The rear
  sight is a two-leaf design, and the front sight is a small bead.  A short ramrod is under the barrel, as is a pommel ring on the bottom of
  the grip. It has two sling swivels for use when the stock is being used (as one of the swivels is on the stock).
       The US Model 1855 Fayetteville is virtually identical for game purposes; it is noted for being assembled in North Carolina for use by
  the Confederacy from parts captured at the Harpers Ferry Arsenal in Virginia in 1861.  The lock plate was not milled, allowing it to use
  the Maynard Tape Priming System.

  Whitney Navy Revolver
       This revolver comes in two primary models and several submodels of each of the two models.  For game purposes, they are all
  virtually identical; most differences are in markings and minor technical details.  Some changes, such as the hammer trigger guard,
  were in what metal they were made, and some were done to make the revolver less expensive.  The 2nd Model was also more
  ergonomic than the 1st Model. Only about 1500 1st Model Whitneys were built; the Union government requested some changes and a
  cut in price, so some iron parts were replaced with brass.  Some 34,000 2nd Models were built, making it one of the most common
  revolvers of the Civil War.  The designer was Fordyce Beals, the man who designed the Remington-Beals revolvers; he co-designed
  the Whitney Navy Revolver with Eli Whitney.  All of these revolvers were built from the late 1850s until the end of the Civil War. 
  Though most Whitney Navy Revolvers went to the Union Navy, but some equipped the New Jersey regiment of the Civil War; a very
  small amount were sold to what would be the Confederacy before the Civil War began (the Confederates used the 1st Model, as the
  2nd Model was not available until the Civil War had already started.
       The Whitney Naval revolver used combustible paper cases for the powder, ignited by a percussion cap.  A ball round was glued
  into the top of the case.  The standard barrel was a 7.5-inch octagonal barrel (with a few examples made with 4, 5, 6, and 8 inches),
  and was of steel, while most of the rest of the revolver was wrought iron.  the 2nd Model was available only in a 7.5-inch barrel
  version. On the 2nd Model, the trigger guard, hammer, and screws holding the revolver together were made of brass; on the 1st
  Model, these were made of iron.  The Whitney Navy Revolver had a manual safety catch, a rarity at the time.  The Whitney had a solid
  frame; several designers and manufacturers were trying to use a solid frame, but the Whitney was the first successful attempt.  The

  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  1) Standard ammunition for these stats is a round ball fired from a smooth or mildly-rifled (very slow twist) barrel.
  2) A standard ammunition “case” for blackpowder rounds consists of enough balls and powder for 50 shots of ammunition. 
  3) “Cases” of balls and shot weight 2 kg per “case: One measure of powder weighs 0.02 kg, and one ball weighs 0.02 kg.
  Magnum powder loads take 2 loads of powder per shot.  A Minie Ball weighs 0.05 kg per shot.  A rifled ball weighs 0.03 kg
  per shot.
  4) Use base range, and increase rifled weapons’ range by 1.5 times; however, increase loading times by two steps (so 1/6
  would become 1/8). This is for rifled balls only, and simulates the difficulty in ramming the ball down the barrel.  Such a
  weapon can also fire standard balls; in this case, the increase in damage and range does not apply.
  5) This increase in loading time does not apply to inline firearms or rifles firing Minie Ball or similar types of rounds.  If
  something like a Minie Ball or inline rifle is used, double range (ranges for inlines will already be doubled in the stats below). 
  6) If a blackpowder weapon has a rifled barrel and is designed for rifled balls, increase cost by 1.5 times.  If designed for
  something like a Minie Ball, increase costs by 1.9 times.  (Inlines double costs, but this is already figured in the stats below.)
  7) If a blackpowder weapon is designed to fire rifled balls, increase range by 1.5 times. 
  8) If the weapon is an inline or designed to fire Minie Ball-type rounds, double range.
  9) Some rifles are stressed for magnum loads, and are given in the stats below, If a magnum load is loaded into a non-
  magnum firearm (standard loads are designed to take a man down), increase damage by one point and go the next level of
  penetration, but the weapon is 5% likely (cumulative) to be damaged per shot. 
  10) Buck-and-ball shots give two extra 1d6-damage rounds per shot and the extra balls otherwise act like a shotguns and
  use shotgun rules, but range is reduced to 0.75 times normal.
  11) Weapons given in their description as “rifles” will have their range adjusted in the stats, unless stated otherwise in the
  description.
   
  These rules are preliminary, especially the weight figures for powder and balls.
   
  1763/1766/1777 Charleville Musket
       Notes: This Musket is a modern reproduction of Charleville Musket produced for several decades in the 1700s.  Today, it is sold
  through Cabela’s, Dixie Gun Works, and Navy Arms.  It comes in several barrel lengths, but is unwieldy in any form.  The stock is a
  straight-wristed stock, with a modicum of room to shoulder the weapon and furnished with a flintlock mechanism.  Furniture is of
  hardwood and metal parts are of polished steel.  Sights consist of brass studs above the barrel and action, but these are low and not
  very precision sights.

  1803 Harper’s Ferry Rifle
       Notes: this is a modern reproduction of the old Harper’s Ferry Rifle, and is sold today through a number of outlets such as Dixie
  Gun Works and Navy Arms.  The Harper’s Ferry Rifle is a faithful reproduction of the old version, with an old stock design of walnut
  and a holder at the bottom of the barrel in the fore-end for the ramrod.  Ignition is by flintlock, and the stock widens into a half-stock
  ahead somewhere between a quarter and a third of the way down the barrel. Metalwork (except for the barrel) is largely of brass,
  though the lock and trigger are of color case-hardened steel, and the ramrod of steel.  The barrel is semi-heavy; it starts as a heavy
  octagonal barrel, but tapers to a round barrel towards the muzzle.  Sights essentially consist of a raised nib above the muzzle.  Barrels
  can be had in either 35 inches or 35.5 inches.  The Harper’s Ferry Rifle is designed to fire rifled balls (this is in the stats below).

  1855 British Pattern Sharps
       Notes: In the mid-19th Century, Great Britain was basically the major arms dealer of the time.  Also known as the “Yankee Sharps,”
  the 1855 British Pattern Sharps was tested extensively by the US military; 12 rifles were basically shot to death, after which the War
  Department deemed them fit for its troops and a major order was made.  Large amounts of these rifles served on both sides of the
  Civil War, though they were in the process of being replaced by the Union.  The .577 round was the British service cartridge of the
  time, and that was what the 1855 British Pattern Sharps was chambered in.  Ignition was by the Maynard tape system; this used a roll
  of nipple primers that were advanced along by the shooter to prime each round.  Though it sounds innovative, the fact was that the
  tape got soggy in the elements and soldiers often found themselves priming the rifle normally, one nipple at a time, like any other rifle. 
  The soggy tapes were also a good way to lose primers, by having them drop off due to the wetness of the tape.  No one knows why
  the War Department was willing to go along with the Maynard tape system, but probably since they had made such a large
  investment, they felt obligated to use the rifle and its deficient tape system.
       Early 1855 Sharps rifles were easy to load, due to exacting tolerances.  These were manufactured primarily by the British, with
  some US license production.  Later construction became a bit sloppy, and they became harder to load cleanly, because the paper part
  of the cartridge would wad up unevenly.  There were three barrel lengths to the 1855 Sharps -- a short 19.15 inches, a longer 21.25
  inches, and a long 39 inches, all round barrels.  The first two resulted from the War Department order, while the third and longest was
  primarily used by civilian hunters and to a small extent, sharpshooters.  Stocks are of walnut; both British and American walnut can be
  found.  Sights are a ladder-type rear and a small, round blade front.  Metalwork is blued.

  1859 Sharps
       Notes: This is a modern reproduction of a pre-Civil War rifled musket designed to fire Minie Ball-type projectiles; the stats below
  reflect this.  These modern reproductions are sold by Dixie Gun Works, Navy Arms, and Taylor’s.  Construction is largely of steel
  (better-quality steel than was available in 1859) and the gun has a silver blade front sight and a flip-up rear sight.  The barrel has a
  blued finish and most of the rest of the external metalwork has a color case-hardened finish.  The fore-end has three military-type
  bands (except on the carbine, which has one).  Though not standard, a double set trigger is available.  This reproduction of the 1859
  Sharps is available, like the original in two forms: a rifle version, with a 30-inch barrel, and a carbine version, with a 22-inch barrel. 
  Lockwork and ignition is by percussion.

  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
       Notes: This is a faithful reproduction of the rifle that armed so many sharpshooter Union troops at the beginning of the Civil War. 
  These reproductions are sold by Dixie Gun Works, Pedersoli, Navy Arms, and Taylor’s. As such, the furniture is walnut; however, in a
  bow to modern manufacturing methods, the steel used in this reproduction’s manufacture is of better quality than that used so long
  ago.  The barrel is of natural metal finish, as is most of the metalwork.  This rifle has sling swivels, and a very long rifled 40-inch barrel
  (which is reflected in the stats below, so no adjustments are necessary).  This reproduction is designed for Minie Ball-type projectiles
  (or modern equivalents of them). The 1861 Springfield reproduction is drilled and tapped for a scope; however, the type of scope the
  drilling and taping is designed for is a reproduction of scopes of the period, and a modern scope (or any other optics) will not fit in this
  drilling and tapping. Reproduction scopes vary in capabilities, but a standard sort of scope for the period is as long as much of the
  length of the barrel and gives a magnification of about 3x. Ignition is by percussion.  The iron sights are a steel blade in the front, and
  a 2-leaf rear for use at two different spreads of ranges.

  other such reproductions, it is sold by Dixie Gun Works, Navy Arms, and Taylor’s.  It has walnut furniture, a brass plate on either side
  of the buttstock, a blued 33-inch barrel, and a color case-hardened hammer, trigger, and lock.  The sights consist of a leaf rear and a

  1863 Sharps
       Notes: This is a reproduction of another common late-Civil War weapon, today sold by EMF, IAR, and Taylor’s.  The 1863 Sharps
  came in several sizes from carbine to long rifle size.  The 1863 Sharps was sort of an intermediate step between cartridge firearms
  and muzzleloading weapons – the 1863 Sharps was loaded by stuffing the Minie Ball, powder, and wadding into the breech of the
  weapon instead of into the muzzle and cramming it down, though ignition is by percussion.  This made it very easy to make the 1863
  Sharps a rifled weapon, which is taken into account in the figures below and no conversions are necessary.  In addition, this reduced
  the loading time of the 1863 Sharps.  Features of the reproduction version are walnut furniture, a blade front sight, and a rear notch
  sight which is dovetailed in and therefore allows for limited windage adjustments.  Regardless of barrel length (which may be 22, 28,
  30, or 32 inches), the barrel is an octagonal heavy barrel.  The reproduction also has a set trigger, which some versions of the original
  1863 Sharps had.

  3-Band/2-Band Enfield Musket
       Notes: This is another modern reproduction of an old weapon, this time an unrifled musket commonly used by British troops during
  the American Revolution and Napoleonic Wars.  Whether the fore-end has two or three retaining bands depends on the barrel length;
  in general, shorter barrels use two bands, and longer barrels use three.  This reproduction faithfully reproduces the stock style and
  shape, and the stock/furniture is of walnut.  Barrels are 31.5”, 33”, 39”, or 40”, and are blued and tapered.  Most other metalwork is
  brass.  The Enfield Musket has a steel blade front sight and a flip up rear sight is adjustable, though accuracy with an unrifled musket
  is questionable.  Ignition is by percussion.  Modern reproductions are made by a variety of companies both in the US and overseas
  and sold by Dixie Gun Works, Navy Arms, and Taylor’s.

  AH Waters Contract Musket Model 1842
       Made in Milbury, MA, this musket is based on the Springfield Model 1842, but produce3d in the private Armory of AH Waters, with
  less than 100 produced for friends and family; later, they were given up to a Massachusetts company just forming.  They were
  produced in roughly 1844 and 1845.  The Type I had an iron buttplate, while the Type II  had a highly fancy engraved brass buttplate
  known as a Sea Fencible buttplate. Most of the Type I metalwork was dull iron, while the Type II had all-brass metalwork.  The Type I
  and II were identical for game purposes. In both cases, the steel 42-inch barrel was finished brown.

  Austrian Model 1842 Long Rifle
       Notes: Used in the American Civil War early in the conflict by some Union units, the Model 1842 was huge -- .70-caliber musket
  ball, and over 147 centimeters in length.  As sold, the Model 1842 fired using an unrifled bore, but later in the war, they were rifles and
  changed to firing Minie Balls.  There were three models, Infantry, Cadet, and Engineer's.  This and the change to a rifled bore made
  for a total of six models. They original used a flintlock ignition, but this was quickly changed to a percussion ignition.  Minie Ball-firing
  rifled variants make three more, for a total of nine subtypes. The Infantry Models' barrels were an astounding 43.5 inches long.  The
  cadet model had a 40.125-inch barrel; the engineer model had a 36.375-inch barrel.

  Austrian Model 1849 Long Rifle
       Notes: Though labeled a long rifle, the Model 1849's barrel is relatively short at 36.38 inches. It is a modification of the Model 1842,
  and fired Minie Balls.  The Austrians sold/smuggled thousands to Giuseppe Garibaldi's rebels in Italy; so many that this rifle is often
  called a Garibaldi Rifle. 26,201 were also sold to the Union forces in the Civil War, where they too were often referred to as Garibaldi
  Rifles.  The barrel is browned and is octagonal, tapering to round.  When transferred to the Union, they were fitted with a new breech
  and bolster, as many were worn out.  The rifling was also re-done.  There were many more 1849 rifles in the Civil War than Model
  1842s. The Minie Ball fired by this rifle is huge, and dealt horrible wounds.

  Austrian Model 1854 Long Rifle
       Notes: A smaller-caliber and much lighter version of the Model 1849, these rifles were referred to as Lorenz Rifles after their
  designer  at the Vienna National Armory.  The barrel is smaller at 39.375 inches, and this makes the entire rifle smaller.  (Of course,
  the massive damage of a Garibaldi Rifle was lost...) The Lorenz Rifle was used by both sides in the American Civil War, and during
  the war, it replaced the Garibaldi Rifle on the Union side.  The Union side referred to them as Lorenz Rifle-Muskets, and bought at
  least 250,000 of them; the Confederate side simply called them Lorenz Rifles, and bought 100,000 of them.  Metalwork finish is bright
  iron, with a browned barrel; wood used is European Walnut.

  Baker Rifle
       Notes: Officially known as the Pattern 1800 Infantry Rifle, the Baker Rifle became one of the official British Infantry weapons.  The
  British Army had seen officers laid low left and right in the American Revolution, and in fighting Europe and India.  They had also seen
  the power of American rifles in the hands of relatively untrained (though disciplined) troops.  Development began soon after the
  American Revolution, and continued until and through 1800 and the Napoleonic Wars. The rifle is named after the first to give a
  (partially) effective design, Ezekiel Baker. 
       COL Coote Manningham was hands on from the beginning. Baker’s design was based on Prussian rifles, the parts of which
  required precise and meticulous machining.  Manningham suggested the Prussian Jager Rifle as an example, but the result was a rifle
  that was too heavy for British Infantry standards.  The third design was a start-from-scratch; it was essentially a standard Infantry
  Musket with a rifled barrel. It was .75-caliber and has 8 grooves in its 32-inch bore; this was given the title of Provisional Infantry Rifle
  and issue started, but Manningham suggested that Baker shorten the barrel by two inches and neck down to .625-caliber.
       Operation was by flintlock; the weapon looked good in trial, but in practice, talking a ball, powder and wadding down a deeply-rifled
  30-inch barrel could take considerable forcing and gritting of the teeth; at first, troops using the new rifle were issued small mallets,
  until stronger ramrods were made.  (And this only got worse as the grooves got fouled!) The stock had a raised cheekpiece to put the
  soldier into as natural position as possible.  The cock was swan-necked, and a ridiculous bayonet was issued for the Baker Rifle; it
  was a “sword bayonet” – and a real shortsword, complete with quillons and hilt guard! Like many “new” weapons of that time, it had a
  compartment for storing oiled patches, cleaning compound, etc.
       The major variation was a carbine version with a 24-inch barrel, and one for the Duke of Cumberland’s Corps of Sharpshooters
  with a 33-inch barrel. Other changes are, for game terms, minor or aesthetic.
       These are the stats for a real Baker Rifle – I have not been able to discover whether anyone is making reproductions or if there
  firing examples.

  Ball Repeating Carbine
  Notes: This was meant to be one of the standard weapons of the Union Army. But before any could be issued, the Civil War was
  over, and as a result only the first batch of 1002 were taken into issue.  Designed by Albert Ball of Worcester, MA, Ball lacked the
  facilities to manufacture his carbine and they were actually manufactured by Lamson & Company of Windsor, Vermont (which also
  made Palmer carbines.  The operation was odd; the chamber was split into two parts, with the lower version lifting the round into the
  upper chamber. This worked quite well when new, but accuracy and jamming resulted when the parts became worn.  The .56-50
  Spencer cartridge was designed for use by the Union Army, as this was one of the new cartridges chosen by the government, but later
  commercial sales were made, and for this purpose, the Ball Repeating Carbine was chambered in .44 Long Rimfire cartridge.  Note
  that the Spencer is also a rimfire round. The magazine is a tubular under-barrel magazine, and is actuated by a lever which doubles
  as a trigger guard.  The left side of the receiver, attached to the receiver, is either a robust saddle ring or a sliding lug. The carbine had
  a stock and fore-end are of walnut; the fore-end has a two-thirds length.  The drop on the stock is very pronounced. I have not been
  able to discern whether there are modern replicas of this carbine.
       Notes: Though the barrel is relatively very short, today a longarm with a 20.5-inch barrel would be considered a full-size rifle. The
  barrel has a round profile and is blued. The Ball uses a tubular magazine in the buttstock; the ejection port doubles as a loading port
  for the magazine. The trigger guard is also used to cock the rifle. The stock is in two pieces, joined by the action and receiver.
  Metalwork was primarily blued, with the exception of the brass central barrel band and the buttplate.

  Ballard Cartridge Rifle
       Notes: Like many such "variant" rifles which were not actually government issue in the Civil War, the Ballard .44 was a falling block
  breechloading single-shot rifle fed by metallic-cased cartridges (as in many such early rifles, rimfire). Though troops had been buying
  such rifles with their own money since they became available (or relatives back home shipped them to the troops), about 18,000 of
  these rifles were bought by Kentucky to equip one division of troops.  They used a blued octagonal 30-inch barrel, with a front sight
  blade and a rear adjustable leaf.
       The remaining versions differ primarily in caliber and minor details such as barrel bands and bayonet socket. In addition, the Type
  II version of the .46-caliber rifle had a slightly longer, 30.125-inch barrel.
       A carbine version of this rifle was also made, but few were actually made.  115 were actually delivered to the Kentucky Militia, and
  used on the Confederate side during the Civil War.  These were built by Dwight & Chapin, who sent bankrupt before they could make
  any more.  Most of the rest were built from 1863 onward, and were built by Ball & Williams.  Some were made from parts made by
  Dwight & Chapin; these carbines have both Dwight & Chapin and Ball & Williams markings, though all the latter did was to assemble
  the parts. It had only one iron barrel band, and the rear sight was a folding leaf-type, with post front sight. It had a 20.69-inch round
  barrel.
       The Ballard Carbine, US Contract Type I was one of the first metallic cartridge rifles deliberately the result of a request from the
  War Department, though only 1500 were produced. Most were produced for use by Kentucky units in March-August of 1864.  It has a
  half-octagonal barrel 20.31 inches long, which is blued (along with almost all of the metalwork. The rear sight is a pierced leaf, and the
  front sight a dovetailed blade.
       The Ballard Carbine, US Contract, Type II was for the most part similar to the Type I.  It has an interesting feature, however; a split
  breech block with a percussion cap nipple, enabling the firing of metallic cartridges or Minie Ball cartridges. Its barrel is 20.185 inches.

  Bavarian Model 1842 Rifled Musket
       Notes:  It is a mystery just how these rifled muskets got into the hands of Union troops during the Civil War.  Their construction was
  ordered by the Bavarian Foreign Minister  in Amberg.  There was considerable correspondence between the Foreign Minister and the
  US Secretary of War. Though Union purchasing agent Marcellus Hartley commented in one of his letters that Bavarian arms were
  available, no importation or purchase orders have ever been uncovered. 
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
       These were originally built as muskets, and later the barrels were rifled with a rather tight rifling pattern.  They became the first
  percussion weapons made in Bavaria.  The barrel has three retaining bands; just behind the front one on top is a blade front sight; the
  front band has a sling swivel on the bottom.  The rear sight is normally a simple notch mounted on an iron block, but some with hinged
  rear leaf sights have been found.
       Barrel length is 42.19 inches.

  Black Powder Products 209
       Notes: The Model 209 is a modern take on the blackpowder rifle, an inline, which means that it is breech-loaded.  The stock is
  synthetic; it is normally black, but can be bought with one of several camouflage patterns.  The breech plug is stainless steel, and
  most of the rest of the metalwork is of modern carbon steels.  However, the ramrod and cocking spur are of aircraft-quality aluminum. 
  Finish for the external metalwork may be blued or nickel-plated.  The standard sights are a fully adjustable rear sight and a front sight
  that is drift-adjustable, dovetailed in so that it is removable, and has a fiberoptic insert.  The rear sight is in the “scout” position, at
  about the center of mass of the rifle.  As this weapon is rifled, the range below takes this into account and do not need to be modified.

  Bridesburg 1861 Rifle Musket
       Notes: First, let’s get this out of the way – this is a musket and is not rifled; some muskets with long barrels were called rifles.  This
  was one of the primary battle rifles of the Union forces; it was introduced in 1861 and reached a peak of 5000 units per month, enough
  that a second factory was needed for production.  Bridesburg itself was a subcontractor of Springfield Arms.  The barrel was an
  astounding 40 inches long; sights consisted of a rear two-leaf ladder-type sight and a peep sights for when the leaf sights were folded
  or for close range shots.  The firing mechanism uses percussion.  Stock and fore-end construction was largely of black walnut and had
  an enlarged stock and a more natural position for the wrist. The end of the stock is curved to fit the shoulder and is capped by a
  serrated steel plate.  The external metalwork are all in bright natural metal.
       When that new factory was opened in 1863, Bridesburg took the opportunity to improve their design. The weapon had three barrel
  retaining bands which were attached by spring retainers, allowing the shooter to better remove and clean the weapon’s barrel. There
  were also minor improvements to the hammer, rear sight. For game purposes, it is identical to the 1861 model.
       Even with the second factory, Bridesburg found it necessary to farm out manufacturing to several other firms.  By the end of the
  Civil War, about 100,000 examples of the Bridesburg Rifle Musket were manufactured.

       Notes: One of the most common rifles on both sides of the Civil War, the Confederates imported about 400,000 of these rifles and
  the Union about 505,000.  It was nominally .577 caliber, but both sides in the Civil War used .58 Minie Balls in them.  They were made

  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  in both London, England and Liege, Belgium.  It is the best-known imported weapon of the Civil War.  These were produced from
  1853-1866. There were four types of the Pattern 1853, but the only one imported to the US or Confederates was the third version.  It
  had three barrel bands tightened with screws and a thick, strong ramrod.  Barrel was 39 inches.
       The Suhl Enfield Rifle-Musket is copy in all respects of the Pattern 1853.  Enfield subcontrated to Suhl, but Suhl outsourced the
  actual manufacturer to private manufacturers.

  Brown Bess
       This is a faithful modern reproduction of the musket that most British troops carried in the American Revolution, as well as
  numerous colonial wars and part of the Napoleonic War.  The stock is designed to look like the original stock, which means that it is
  elongated and has a high comb.  The stock and furniture is of walnut.  The barrel is of polished steel, but most metalwork on the
  Brown Bess is brass.  The front sight is a steel stud, but the Brown Bess has no rear sight.  The Brown Bess uses flintlock ignition, like
  the original.  Barrels may be 30, 30.5, or 42 inches long, and are not only smoothbore, but have a polished bore.  Modern
  reproductions come from a variety of sources, but are sold by Dixie Gun Works and Navy Arms.

  Burnside Carbine
       Notes: Though this carbine was produced from 1857-1865, it is more like a modern inline in function, firing a .54-caliber special
  cone-shaped cartridge; it is breechloaded, and fired by a percussion cap, and uses blackpowder.  The unique cone-shaped bullet
  sealed the joint between the barrel and the breech, eliminating a vexing problem with breechloading blackpowder firearms, in which
  the gun vented hot gasses through the gap afore mentioned.  Despite winning a War Department rifle competition to be one of the
  Union Army’s standard firearms, the conditions of the competition changed when the Civil War started, and the Burnside Carbine was
  bumped back to number three in priority, behind the Sharps Carbine and Spencer Carbine.  As the war went on, a problem with the
  Burnside Carbine proved to have a sometimes inopportune problem: the cone-shaped bullet tended to get stuck in the breech after
  firing.  In addition, the Sharps and the Spencer fired from self-contained cartridges, allowing a greater magazine capacity and volume
  of fire.
       A little known story about the Burnside was that 7 Confederate cavalry units were equipped with the Burnside Carbine, sold to them
  before hostilities started. Many will know Ambrose Burnside as a Union General who really didn’t know what he was doing.
       The initial version, of which 250 had been made, had a 22-inch barrel, and the bullet was encased in thin copper rather than paper.
  A tape primer system was pulled through the top of the lockwork. Construction of the stock was of walnut with no buttplate, but there
  was no fore-end. External metalwork is case-color hardened, except for the blued barrel.  This was the 1st Model.  The 2nd Model had
  an improved breechblock which made loading faster and with the lock to open the breech contained inside the trigger guard.  Due to
  the improved breechblock, the barrel was shortened to 21 inches. The 3rd Model brought the long sought after fore-end, a barrel band
  to fasten the barrel to the fore-end, and an improved hammer.  For game purposes and the firing table, the 3rd Model is identical to 2nd
  Model. The 4th Model features a spring-loaded breech which again simplifies and quickens reloading.  This was the definitive version,
  with 50,000 being built and issued.

  Cabela’s Blue Ridge
       Notes: This is another non-specific replica of an early rifle, with anachronistic features such as an adjustable double set trigger and
  a blade front and V-notch rear sight.  The furniture is walnut, highly-polished.  The finish of the lock is color-case hardened, the barrel
  is blued, and the fittings are brass. The barrel is 39 inches, and locks are percussion or flintlock.

  Cabala’s Kentucky Rifle
       Notes: Like most of the blackpowder rifles and muskets sold by Cabela’s, the Kentucky Rifle is more of a replica than a
  reproduction, following the general lines of an old-time muzzleloading rifle but having several features that such a rifle would not have
  and are more advanced than such a rifle.  The basic rifle has walnut furniture, with a blade front sight and a V-notch rear sight.  The
  finish is largely blued, with polished brass fittings.  The Kentucky Rifle is generally sold with a Starter’s Kit, as it is meant to be a

  Cabala’s Kodiak Express Double Rifle
        Notes: Like’s many of Cabela-sold designs the Kodiak Express Double rifle is essentially a modern replica of a non-specific old-
  type rifle.  The double barrels have double lockwork, though only one trigger. It comes only in percussion cap designs, with European
  walnut furniture, color-cased hardened lock, blued barrels, and blued fittings.  The Kodiak Express Double Rifle has double leaf rear
  sights and double ramp front sights.  Barrels are short for this sort of rifle at 25.25 inches.  The .72 Caliber version is often known as
  the Big Bore.

  Cabela’s Traditional Hawken
       Notes: This is a modern replica of the traditional Hawken rifle of yore, with walnut furniture and updated with a bladed front sight
  with an adjustable rear sight,  The rifle also has several anachronistic features such as a color-case hardened lock, a blued barrel,
  though it has a brass trigger guards and fittings. A Sportertized Cabela’s Hawken is also available, with a more up-to-date stock
  configuration and a rubber recoil pad.  Ignition is by flintlock or percussion lock.  Barrel length is 29 inches regardless of caliber or
  type.

  Chassepot M-1866
  Notes: The Chassepot, officially known as the Fusil Mle 1866, replaced a motley collection of breechloading rifles then in service
  with French forces.  It was the primary arm of the French forces during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.  It was a great
  improvement to military rifles of the time, being the first bolt-action rifle adopted by a major military force.  It was manufactured by
  MAS, MAC, MAM, and MAT in France, and manufactured under contract in England and then delivered to the French Navy.  They
  were also manufactured in Belgium, in Italy, and Austria; all of these went to the French military.  Manufacture of the Chassepot
  continued until 1875. Chassepot rifles were responsible for most Prussian and German casualties during the Franco-Prussian War.
  The first two prototypes of the Chassepot used cartridges, but instead of a primer, used a percussion cap to ignite the cartridge. 
  The third, successful prototype used a variant of the Dreyse Needle system; it had a rubber obturator on its bolt head to provide a
  more efficient gas seal.  The Chassepot used a smaller cartridge, but used a much higher powder charge than the Dreyse, even for
  the smaller-caliber projectile. This gave is more power, longer range, and a flatter trajectory than the Dreyse.  The sights on the
  Chassepot were graduated to 1600 meters (the maximum range of the Chassepot), while the Dreyse’s sights were graduated to its
  maximum effective range of 600 meters.  The barrel of the Chassepot was 32.5 inches. The cartridge of the Dreyse was, however,
  fully metallic, while the Chassepot used a wax-paper-patched cartridge that had only a metallic ring holding the primer.  It is often
  erroneously referred to as a combustible cartridge, but the case is ejected like any other sort of case; such ejected cases are almost
  never in any shape to be reloadable; in addition, using a reloaded Chassepot case is quite often dangerous.
  Though the Chassepot gave excellent performance during the Franco-Prussian War, troops using them complained about fouling,
  due both to the wax in the cartridge and the black powder loaded in the cartridges.  In addition, the rubber bolt obturator tended to
  wear down quickly (though they were easily replaced by troops using them); this is a problem the Dreyse did not have.  To correct this,
  the Chassepot was modified into the Gras M-1874 rifle, and most Chassepots were also modified to the Gras standard (M-1866/74),
  though they kept the same barrel length of the M-1866.  Today, the M-1866/74 is the most common version of the Chassepot Rifle
  encountered. The Gras M1874 also used an 11mm centerfire brass full-metallic cartridge which approximated the Chassepot cartridge
  in metallic form, and also used black powder.  The Gras Rifle was also used by the Hellenic Army starting in 1877, and later by Greek
  guerilla units in their conflicts with the Ottoman Turks and Nazis, though these were later supplemented by arms shipments from the
  Allies.  The barrel of the Gras Rifle was slightly shorter at 32.3 inches.  A hopper could be fixed above the Gras Rifle’s breech, forming
  a sort of ad hoc magazine.  This accoutrement, however, tended to fall off, usually at the wrong moment, and was little-used.
  As Germany and Prussia won the war, they captured about 665,000 Chassepot rifles, which were converted to 11.15mm Mauser
  metallic cartridges and shortened to carbine size with a 26-inch barrel, and issued to many German and Prussian artillery and cavalry
  units.  Some were also converted to the 11.5mm Bavarian Werder cartridge (uncommon even then) and issued to police or home
  guard units or sold to other countries.  This rifle was not considered especially gifted in range or power and was later withdrawn.
  An odd variant of the Gras Rifle was designed by the Vietnamese General Cao Thang, who managed to almost faithfully copy the
  Gras Rifle, but did not have access to rifling equipment and so his copies were unrifled.  This, of course, limited their effective range
  and power.
  The Chassepot is often known as the “French Needle Rifle.”

  Cosmopolitan Rifle
       Notes: Fewer than 100 of these rifles were built between 1859-62.  It was used in combat in only the early parts of the Civil War, by
  one company of the 9th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The low numbers of production do not mean there was a problem with
  quality; the Cosmopolitan was high on the quality scale. It was a breechloader, firing a combustible case (ie, nitrated paper) driving a
  Minie Ball.  It used a 31-inch blued barrel, with a single wide barrel band and a retention ring near the muzzle of the rifle.  The bayonet
  was essentially a huge, long spike that fit over the end of the barrel and locked to the front sight.

       Notes: This is another reproduction of a Civil War musket, and as such has walnut furniture in a shape to conform to the original
  musket. The 40-inch barrel is polished steel, and most of the rest of the metalwork is brass, including a brass buttplate and fore-end
  cap, as well as three barrel bands.  The CS Richmond is equipped with sling swivels.  As with most such muskets, the CS Richmond
  is a rather large and cumbersome weapon of questionable accuracy.  Ignition is by percussion. Current reproductions are sold by
  Dixie Gun Works, Navy Arms, and Taylor’s.

       Notes: The Bobcat is a modern take on blackpowder rifles; the ignition is by percussion, but the stock can be of hardwood or
  synthetic, and is of modern design and form.  The Bobcat normally comes with fixed sights, but adjustable rear sights may be had. 
  The front sight is a blade rather than a simple post or bead.  Metalwork is finished in blue, and the barrel is a 26” octagonal heavy
  barrel.

  CVA Model 209
       Notes: The Model 209 is essentially a modern bolt-action-type rifle modified into a blackpowder weapon.  As such, it has contours
  that a modern shooter would find familiar, with a stock that has a slightly-raised comb, a checkered pistol grip wrist and fore-end, and
  modern-type sights (appropriate to the ammunition, of course) with Dura-Bright fiberoptic insets.  The stock may be of a natural wood
  finish, or may be composite with black or Mossy Oak finishes.  Metalwork is blued or nickel. Ignition in all cases is by percussion.
       The Optima Pro 209 is the base version, with a 29-inch barrel.  The Kodiak 209 Magnum is the same caliber, but stressed for
  heavier powder loads, and has a Stainless 209 breech plug; it has a 28-inch barrel.  The Buckhorn 209 Magnum uses heavier calibers
  as well as being stressed for heavier powder loads; it has a 24-inch barrel. The Firebolt 209 Magnum differs in using inline bolt action
  and having a recoil pad, as well as adjustable sights; it is also drilled and tapped for a scope.  The barrel is 26 inches, and it is
  stressed for a heavier powder load.  The Hunterbolt 209 Magnum is again stressed for a heavier powder load and uses inline bolt
  action.  The sights are adjustable and the barrel is 24 inches. (The Magnum versions use magnum powder loads in the stats below.)
       The Eclipse 209 Magnum and Stag Horn are similar, but the Eclipse is stressed for a Magnum load, and the Eclipse comes in black
  synthetic furniture while the Stag Horn comes only in black furniture.  Both have 24-inch barrels.  The iron sights have fiberoptic
  inserts, and the weapons are drilled and tapped for a scope.  Metalwork finish is blue in both cases.  Both use inline ignition and
  loading.

  CVA Youth Hunter
       Notes: As the name suggests, the Youth Hunter is designed for young teenagers first getting acquainted with blackpowder
  weapons.  The stock is therefore shorter in length of pull and has less of a drop in it, and the pistol grip radius has a smaller diameter. 
  The stock is hardwood and the barrel is a 24” octagonal heavy barrel. Sights are a bead front and a fully adjustable rear peep sight. 
  Finish of the metalwork is matte blue.  Ignition is by percussion.

  Dimick Plains Rifle
       Notes: For most part, Horace Dimicks business consisted of copying (by license) several other blackpowder designs, including
  muskets, breechloading rifles, and derringers. This includes his Plains Rifle, which was part of a number of plains rifles that were
  produced at about the same time (1849), and is essentially a Hawken with a slightly longer 32.5-inch barrel.  The long barrel is in what
  we would today call a full octagon pattern, which makes for a rather poorly-balanced firearm that is a bit muzzle-heavy.  It was,
  however, a decently accurate rifle, especially at long range, and more importantly, was a weapon that could be easily bought by
  settlers before they went out into the Great Plains (being made in St Louis also helped sales). It used the modern (for the time)
  percussion system, and of course the lockwork and firing system are identical to the Hawken.  The rifle is half-stocked, with a fore-end
  about a third the length of the barrel and ramrod holder.
       Very few manufacturers make the Dimick, and they are generally small companies.  Other manufacturers make parts, to allow one
  to build his own Dimick.  This means that a Dimick could be of almost any caliber, though a historically accurate one is .58 caliber.

  Dixie Kentuckian
       Notes: Made in Italy, the Dixie Kentuckian is an old-style flintlock weapon with a long 35.25-inch smoothbore barrel.  (A percussion
  ignition version is also made.) The stock is of the old type, made of walnut and with a dovetailed front sight and an open V-notch rear
  fixed sight.  The barrel, trigger, and other small metalwork is blued; the lockwork is color-case hardened.  The Dixie Kentuckian
  hearkens back to the days of yore and is made in a sort of replica of an old Kentucky rifle (though it is smoothbore).

  East India Company Victoria
       Notes: First Issued in 1838, the Victoria was issued to most non-British troops of the British Empire.  It was also known as the
  Brunswick Rifle. Two calibers were used, both quite huge – .733 caliber and .704 caliber, with .704 being more common.  The Victoria
  first used a back action percussion system, which was quickly changed to a side-lock system.  The first two versions of the Victoria
  
  Blackpowder Rifles

  were muskets, but the 1853 version updated this to a rifled barrel; this rifle was even used by British Troops, and it is what is shown
  below. The barrel length is 26 inches and the barrel is round.

  Enfield British Pattern 1839 Musket
       Notes: Also known as the P-39, the Pattern 1839 was imported from Britain by both sides during the American Civil War, this is an
  unrifled musket which is almost as long as the Austrian Model 1842.  Some 10,000 were produced, mostly for export, and most of
  these exports went to the North and South during the American Civil War.  It was originally designed as a flintlock musket, both sides
  in the Civil War converted them to percussion ignition. The 41.25-inch barrel is secured to the stock by a single screw.  The P-39 was
  produced with no rear sight, though one will see many with a rear sight these days; they were added later on.
       An improved version of the Pattern 1839 was produced, called the Pattern 1842.  The hammer and keys were flattened.  A notch-
  type rear sight was added. The Pattern 1942 has no side plates; instead, the lock plate screws are directly in the rifle itself, secured by
  two locking washers. The P-42 was used by both sides in the Civil War. For game purposes. it is identical to the Pattern 1839.

  Navy Contract Musket
       Notes: These were old even by Civil War standards, being produced by AH Waters, and of unknown production numbers, though
  they produced many for the Massachusetts units. At first, they took the form of standard muskets of the period -- later modifications,
  done from 1842-51, These were performed in several arsenals to bring them more up to date. Modifications included Belgian cone
  percussion, with a nipple directly on the breech, as well a heavy brass, curved buttplate that was narrowed from the original
  specifications.  This is often called the "Massachusetts Militia" modifications. The barrel was 43.25 inches.

  French Model 1816 Rifled Musket
       Notes: Like many such rifles, this was originally s smoothbore flintlock.  It was later converted to a rifled musket, percussion-fired
  weapon.  The Union side acquired them in a roundabout way; the French retired these firearms as muskets, and the German state of
  Wurzenburg bought them as cut-rate prices..  They then did the conversion work.  They first converted the then-muskets to
  percussion, then rifled the bores.  They added long-range sights. Union purchasing agent Marcellus Hartley bought 2000 of these
  rifled muskets for the Union side, but bought them in Liege, Belgium. The barrel is a long 43.6 inches, a legacy of once being a
  musket.

  French Model 1857 Rifle-Musket
       Notes: Though designed in Impale, France, the manufacturing work was split between France and Liege, Belgium. Most of the
  lockwork was done in France, and the rest in Belgium.  These rifles were literally covered in proof marks, French and Belgian, then of
  the country it was imported to. The Model 1857 was the first longarm that the French officially adopted for the French Army.  The
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  Model 1857 draws much from the Model 1842; in some cases (particularly the furniture), parts from the Model 1842 were used on the
  Model 1857.  The Model 1857 fired huge Minie Balls.  The US Ordinance Department rated the Model 1857 as a 2nd Class weapon,
  but it was used by some state militias so more modern weapons could be given to frontline troops. The barrel is 40.75 inches.
       The Model 1863 is a copy of the Model 1857, basically the same weapon except for the smaller caliber.  The US Ordnance
  Department rated it as a 1st-Class weapon, suitable for issue to frontline troops.

  St Etienne Model 1822 Musket
       Notes: This musket's design was by St Etienne, but it was produced at several arsenals, including Tylle, Charleville, and Mutzig.
  This musket was employed early in the Civil War by the Union side, though they were quickly replaced.  The Type I version was
  designed for Infantry, and the shorter Type II was carried by Voltiguers (Light Infantry.  Despite which model is used, it is a huge
  weapon, with the Type I having a 43.5-inch barrel, and the Type II having a 41.85-inch barrel.  They were original flintlock muskets,
  but were later converted to percussion ignition. Many were also rifled and used as sniper's weapons.
       The Model 1842 Musket is a later update of the Model 1822, with the Type I having a 43.69-inch barrel and the Type II having a 42-
  inch barrel. This was the first percussion firearm that the French Army adopted.  It was also adopted by Union side of the Civil War. 
  Later, the Model 1842s received rifled barrels. Some 147,000 were bought by the Union side in the Civil War.

  Gallagher Carbine
       Notes: The Gallagher Carbine, Standard Production  was originally designed to be a breechloading rifle using a combustible paper
  and foil cartridge or  a special copper-cased metallic cartridge, with ignition by a percussion cap.  Some 17000 were built and issued
  to some Union volunteer regiments, such as 2nd, 4th, and 6th Ohio, 13th Tennessee, and 3rd West Virginia. The paper and foil
  cartridge was dropped early in production and never issued.  Barrel length was 22 inches and virtually all metalwork was blued. 
  Reloading was done by pivoting barrel. After the Civil War, some were converted to other calibers or into shotguns.
       The Final Model was similar in many ways to the Standard Production, but designed for use only with brass cartridges. Some 5000
  were built.  These were delivered to the War Department in May 1860, too late for the Civil War; half of them were sold to France in
  1870.

  were not yet available). The rifle has ghost ring sights, adjustable for elevation and windage.  It is also surprisingly useful in low-light
  situations. Stocks are dark walnut, while the external is dark blued.  The barrel is 29 inches with anti-reflection checkering on top.
  Operation is percussion and the barrel is rifled. Standard load is a magnum load.

  Greene Rifle
       Notes: Designed and patented by LTC James Durrell Greene, the Greene Rifle was the first bolt-action firearm to enter US service
  in 1857.  However, the largest users of the Greene Rifle was the Russians, who bought 3000 of them in 1859. The Union bought 900
  of them, but their only documented use was at the Battle of Antietam. Operation was an adaptation of the Dreyse Needle Gun; it had
  an underhammer bolt, and the percussion cap nipple is in front of the trigger guard,  The barrel was 35 inches, with three barrel bands;
  each band was over half an inch wide. The stock was oiled walnut, and behind the brass buttplate was a compartment for cleaning
  supplies.
       A shorter and handier carbine version of this rifle was also designed. It was also much more rare, with only 300 produced and sent
  to the War Department.  They do not appear to have seen any combat use in the Civil War, despite having been available, and that
  Greene was more than willing to make thousands of them for the Union. The 21-inch barrel was round and blued, and took a cartridge
  made of rolled, nitrated paper tipped with a Minie Ball. The front sight was a blade and the rear sight was designed for shooting at long
  ranges, like that of the Greene Rifle. A variant designed for the British Army was also made by Greene; this was the British Pattern
  Greene Carbine.  This is basically the same rifle, but with a short 18-inch barrel.

  Hall Breechloading Rifle Model 1819
       Notes: an old rifle at the time of the Civil War, the Hall was used primarily by the Confederates, and was made at the Harpers Ferry
  Arsenal starting in 1819 and continuing until 1838.  Some 10,229 were on hand on the Confederate side; the Union used 677, made at
  the Washington Federal Arsenal. It was a curious combination of obsolete and ahead of its time, using flintlock ignition, loading by
  opening the breech, and the use of a combustible paper cartridge. The 35-inch barrel fired round-ball shot and had a single mid-barrel
  band and an iron end-cap.  Finish for the metalwork was blued, while the stock was black walnut with a considerable drop in the
  stock.  There was a front bead sight and a notch rear side, with the notch on the right side to aim around the flintlock mechanism.

  Hall-North Carbine Model 1833
       This carbine was one of the first breechloading weapons adopted anywhere; it entered US service in 1834, with 7163 put into
  service.  They were used in the Civil War and the Mexican War. Loading was by a hinged receiver that opened upon actuating a spur
  latch at the rear of the fore-end.  The barrel was smoothbore and 26.1875 inches, and the combustible paper cartridge had a ball-type
  round attached to the front.  In the stock was a box containing tools appropriate for the carbine.  The barrel and most of the metalwork
  were iron finished with brown lacquer, except for the action, which was case-hardened iron.  Ignition was by percussion cap; the nipple
  was mounted directly onto the receiver.  To the rear of the lock plate, on the left side, was a sling ring.  A relic of the past, a ramrod
  was included, and the carbine could actually be muzzleloaded if necessary or desired; the breech was closed and kept closed during
  muzzleloading.  There were two types of this carbine: a .58-caliber version, built from 1834-1836; these 1028 were issued primarily to
  the 1st US Dragoons in the Arkansas Territory, and ended up on the Confederate side in the Civil War.  The second model was in .52
  caliber and the 6135 were issued to the 2nd US Dragoons in Florida, and also were used by the Confederates in the Civil War.  A
  special run of 100 were issued to the militia unit in Mobile, Alabama and also used on the Confederate side in the Civil War.
       The Hall Carbine Model 1836 was also nearly identical to the Model 1833, and the 2020 built were also issued to the 2nd US
  Dragoons in Florida.  It too was a smoothbore carbine, with a round barrel 23 inches in length.  The sling ring was actually an eyebolt.
  on the left side of the wrist of the stock,  There were no barrel bands; the barrel was secured by pins. The Type I did not have an
  implement box in the stock, while the Type II, built from 1839-40, had it.  They are identical for game purposes.
       The Hall-North Model 1840 is similar to the Hall Model 1836 and the Model 1833, except that it came only in .52 caliber and had a
  shorter 21-inch barrel.  Virtually none had the implement box in the stock.  The spur-latch was changed in favor of two types of levers:
  an L-shaped lever, and a fishhook-shaped lever. 6501 were built.
       The Hall Model 1842 is identical to the Model 1840 for game purposes.  1001 were built, all of which went to the 1st US Dragoons.
       The Hall-North Model 1843 is identical to the Model 1840 for game purposes.  Differences include a thumb lever for operating the
  breech, a case-hardened breech, and a nipple mounted directly on the receiver.
       The Hall North Model 1843 Rifle is basically a Model 1843 with a rifled, heavier-caliber bore.  It has an interesting history: The
  entire production run of 5000 were not accepted by the War Department.  In 1861, General John Fremont bought the entire lot at a
  cut-rate price for his troops, and they served throughout the Civil War.  The US government started a corruption investigation after that
  deal, and it led to Fremont being removed from his command.  But his former unit kept the rifles.

  Hanseatic League Model 1840 Rifled Musket
       Notes: These rifled musket was imported from Hertburg, Germany to the Ohio Regiment of the Union forces.  Though it was
  originally designed as a musket, most were rifled in the 1850s.  Most metalwork was finished in bright metal while the barrel was
  browned. Stocks were European Walnut. Ignition is by percussion.

  Hawken Rifle
       Notes: This is a reproduction of the rifle that saw the passage from the long and heavy Pennsylvania rifles, to a group of rifles
  known as “Plains Rifles,” and the Hawken also marked the abandonment of the old flintlock ignition system for the more modern
  percussion method.  As such, it began the process of evolution of the rifle to what would come with the Civil War.  Several versions
  were available, from the original Rock Mountain Hawken available in about 1840, and the Missouri River Hawken, which generally
  used smaller calibers of ball.  The barrels included a 28”, 28.75”, 30”, 31”, and 32”, and they are heavy octagonal barrels with low
  blade front sights and adjustable notch rear sights.  Though the original Hawken had double set triggers, these are an option and not
  standard on most reproductions.  The barrel is blued, and the Hawken reproduction has a brass butt plate, patch box, wedge side
  plates, and nose cap.  Stocks are of walnut or maple.  This weapon is already a rifle; no range adjustment for using a rifled version is
  necessary; though rifled balls are used instead of Minie-type balls.  Details may vary between manufacturers; current manufacturers or
  distributers include Black Powder Products, Dixie Gun Works, TC Arms, and Traditions.
       Note that this Hawken reproduction is not related to the CVA St Louis Hawken except in generalized form.

  Harpers Ferry/Springfield Model 1842 Musket
       Notes: The Harpers Ferry 1842 Musket and the Springfield 1842 Musket are essentially the same weapon, just built by different
  armories.  For the most part, they are different only in the markings on the musket; even the parts are interchangeable. However,
  some 1200 were made at Harpers Ferry with shortened, 33-inch barrels which were rifled. They had long-range sights and were made
  specifically for John Charles Fremont in 1847 for an expedition into South America.
       The Springfield-built versions were used in large numbers in the Mexican War, and black walnut stocks with bright metal finish on
  the metalwork.  These too had many that were made into rifles; the US designation for both was US Model 1942 Rifled Musket. Most
  of these Rifled Muskets were made around 1855.  The normal muskets had no rear sights.  Their barrels were 42 inches.
       These were all percussion weapons. The Confederate-produced B Flagg & Company Model 1842 Musket was a Confederate copy
  of the Harpers Ferry and Springfield models, though technically they were at a level below the Union models.  The Palmetto Armory
  made the same copy of the Union rifle.

  Harpers Ferry/Springfield Model 1855 Rifle-Musket
       Notes: These two rifles were essentially the same, even able to interchange parts.  They were manufactured in Massachusetts and
  in Harpers Ferry, VA (shortly to become West VA). 12,158 were built.  The Type I was the standard rifled musket; the Type II had
  long-range sights. On the Type III, the muzzle was iron instead of steel, and the brass backplate had an iron compartment in it to store
  upkeep supplies.  Barrel is 42 inches. Ignition is by percussion.
       The Whitney 1855 Rifled Musket is also essentially the same except markings, but it was built by Eli Whitney in Connecticut. 
  However, the barrel has seven rifling grooves instead of three. The Cadet Rifle Model 1858 is also very similar, but had a 39.75-inch
  barrel.  It is otherwise similar to the Type I.

  Henry Repeating Rifle
       Notes: The Henry was one of the first repeating rifles to be invented; it saw considerable use by the Union side and lesser use by
  the Confederate side (as Henrys were captured).  It was the most sophisticated small arm of the Civil War. The Henry was available in
  1860, but the Union did not buy them, citing wasteful use of ammunition.  However, an increasing number of troops used their own
  pay to buy the Henry and its ammunition, at first primarily by cavalrymen, then by infantrymen.  Some were also bought by families
  back home and sent to their loved ones on the front lines. The Henry was a lever-action rifle, fed by an underbarrel tubular magazine -
  - a magazine-fed rifle was another innovation.  Operation was via a sliding breech block actuated by the lever/trigger guard, setting the
  pattern for lever-action rifles for a long time.  The action and receiver was brass. The sights were in what would later be called the
  scout position, with the rear adjustable leaf forward of the barrel attachment assembly and a front blade sight. The barrel was a blued

  octagonal 24-inch barrel, the stock was of oil-finished black walnut. Some 4000 Henry rifles made it to combat in the later stages of
  the Civil War, but large numbers of Henrys did to make it to combat until about mid-1863.

  Indian Trade Musket
       Notes: This is a modern reproduction of muskets produced by Pedersoli, Pennsylvania Longrifles, and some British companies. 
  The original Indian Trade Muskets were traded or given to friendly or allied Native Americans in colonial times or during the early days
  of the US government.  As such, this reproduction matches the design of the times; it has a full length stock of hardwood and a long,
  narrow stock.  Most metal fittings are of brass, with an oversized trigger guard.  The front sight is a simple blade; the rear sight has a
  limited amount of adjustability (primarily for drift).  Being a musket, the 35.25-inch barrel is smoothbore, and has a browned exterior
  finish.  Firing is by flintlock percussion.  The example presented here is a model sold by Cabela’s.

  Jenks Breechloading Rifle
       Notes: the Jenks Rifle was produced for the US Navy by NP Ames; all were delivered by 1844.  It is a rather primitive sort of
  breechloading weapon; it appears to have used the simplest breechloading mechanism possible.  One moves the breech-lever up,
  then slides it back, opening the breech.  One then put a measure of powder in the breech and a ball ahead of it, then closed the
  breech again.  Fit was tight enough to be the equivalent of ramming powder and ball with a ramrod like a muzzle loader.  On then
  cocked the hammer and put a percussion cap on the nipple.  This sped up loading time, but only just.  The barrel was 30 inches and
  browned.  The stock was black walnut.
       The Jenks Carbine was based on the Jenks Rifle, but featured a number of improvements that turned it into what almost led me to
  make it a separate entry. Approximately 4250 were built. The Carbine had a sliding breechblock, which opened the chamber for
  loading.  At this point, one could pour loose powder and a ball into the chamber, and when the breechblock was closed again, the
  entire round was tightly pressed forward.  A percussion cap was then loaded onto a nipple. One could also put a packet of nitrated
  paper and powder, and put a ball ahead of this, and then close the breechblock again, with a percussion cap mounted on the nipple. 
  Though this only just increased loading times, it was still an improvement, as was breech loading in general. The 24.5-inch barrel was
  browned and rifled.  Most had no rear sights, just a bead front sight.  Later improvements gave the Jenks Carbine a v-notch rear sight
  and a blade rear sight.
       The Janks-Remington Carbine was produced in numbers of about 1000.  They saw service in the Mexican War, but it is unclear
  how many or even if they saw Civil War service, and if so, on which side.  For game purposes, it is identical to the Jenks Carbine, but
  uses only the combustible paper powder packet and ball.

  JF Brown Target/Sniper Rifle
       Notes: This Minie ball-firing rifle was one of the first purpose-built sniper rifles designed.  Though designed in Massachusetts, it
  was used by both the Union and Confederate sides.  Perhaps the most striking feature of the rifle was its Amadon 3x scope which,
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  due to the technological limitations of the time, was longer than the barrel itself.  Controls for the scope are at the rear, near the
  shooter’s eye. The firing system was by percussion and was a unitary, contained system – when disassembled for cleaning, the firing
  system came out in one piece.  The barrel was what would later be known as a bull barrel.  The rifle has no conventional sights, but
  there were conventional sights atop the scope. There is no fore-end, simply the bulk of the rifle’s barrel along with a cooling sleeve;
  the stock had a curved butt covered with serrated brass.  At the top of this buttplate was a compartment for various cleaning supplies.
  The barrel is 32.48 inches long, as said earlier, fires a modified Minie Ball through a hexagonal bore.

  JH Krider Rifle-Musket
       Notes: These was a limited-edition rifle that fired an enormous Minie Ball .69 caliber.  It was issued only to certain Pennsylvanian
  militia troops who had extremely short terms of service and were unlikely to be called to frontline service, and only near the beginning
  of the Civil War.  It looks like a Springfield 1861, but has a larger, browned barrel instead of the smaller .58 caliber barrel. Metalwork
  was largely an alloy of iron and brass, except for the bayonet and barrel. Near the buttstock was a two piece patch box.  The lockwork
  was color-case hardened.

  Joslyn Carbine
       Notes: The Joslyn Carbine was a rifle that went through three iterations, each improving the rifle. The first version, the Model 1855,
  fired a Minie Ball which was loaded into the receiver attached to a nitrided paper powder envelope.  It used an unusual breech
  mechanism; one pulls the hammer back to half-cock position and slides a ring to the front of the receiver cover, at which point the
  cartridge is loaded into the breech, the receiver closed, a percussion cap placed, and the hammer pulled back to full cock.  The Model
  1855 had a 21-inch blued barrel, brass metalwork except for the blued saddle swivel and its bar, and a case-hardened breech, breech
  lever, and lock.
       The next version was the Model 1862, which fired a metallic cartridge. It had a pivoting breechblock and a firing pin extension that
  allowed the hammer direct contact.  The 22-inch barrel is round and blued, with a front blade sight and a rear sight consisting of two
  leaf sights.  All of the metalwork was brass, with the lock plate being case-hardened.
       The third version was the Model 1864; it was surprising in its numbers, with 12,500 being built and issued to Union troops.  The
  brass metalwork was case-hardened, but otherwise, it is for game purposes identical to the Model 1862.  After the Civil War, in private
  hands, some were modified to fire different calibers and cartridges; at least two other chamberings are known to collectors. .52-56
  Sharps was the military cartridge (though also used by civilians after the Civil War).

  JP Murray Carbine
       Notes: The original JP Murray carbines were built by Murray’s facility; much of Murray’s output of these carbines were sold on the
  sly to the American Confederacy.  Some were, in fact, built under license in the Confederacy by Zoli; however, not many were built by
  the Confederates, as they suffered from a poor manufacturing base.  Most that were built in the Confederacy were built in Columbus,
  Georgia. A large number were also built in England, but assembled in the Confederacy; this allowed for parts to be separately
  delivered by small blockade running ships and boats.  The JP Murray Carbine has been said to be heavily based on the US Model
  1841 Rifle, though there is the chopped barrel and other small differences.  The JP Murray Carbine was well thought of by
  Confederate troops due to it’s relatively small size, though it a bit muzzle-heavy, and heavy in general for such a short weapon.  The
  JP Murray Carbine fires Minie Balls (through a rifled barrel, of course), though it used a percussion system that required a piece of
  flintlock in the hammer (though it is not actually a flintlock).
       Modern reproductions have hardwood or walnut stocks, with for-ends that go all the way to the end of the barrel.  The Modern JP
  Murray Carbine primarily sticks to the original plans, with a brass blade front sight, a rear sight which is dovetailed in (and therefore
  somewhat adjustable for drift), a blued barrel, a color-case hardened action, and otherwise with brass furniture (including one barrel
  band and a combined fitting for a ramrod and a bayonet).  The barrel is a short 23.5 inches. Dixie Gun works and Navy Arms are
  some of the manufacturers of modern JP Murray Carbines.

  Keen, Walker & Co Carbine
       I decided to include this weapon, even though only 300 were made, because it is one of the few "modern" weapons to be made
  specifically for Confederate forces.  It fires a .54 caliber Minie Ball attached at the tail to a combustible paper cartridge, through the
  breech. Quality and construction varied wildly, but the standard was an iron barrel which is either blued or browned, 23.275 inches
  long.  It employs a tilting breech to open the chamber; it tilts upwards only a small amount, just enough to slip a round in.  Ignition is by
  percussion cap, placed on a cone-shaped nipple. The breech is opened via a scroll-shaped lever which forms a part of the trigger
  guard. On the left side is a ring on a bar; this allowed the weapon to be carried on a loose sling or attached to a saddle ring. 
  Unusually, the metalwork of some of these carbines is of bronze instead of brass or iron.

  Kentucky Rifle
       Notes: I don’t know of any history major, history buff, or military weapon buff who hasn’t heard of the Kentucky Rifle.  Also known
  as the Kentucky Long Rifle (it is rather long, especially in iterations that have longer barrels).  It is an All-American rifle, developed in
  what was then the American frontier (Western Pennsylvania) in about the 1740s; however, it is generally acknowledged that the
  design developed from weapons used by German immigrants.  The Kentucky Rifle is known for its accuracy and simply for being a
  rifle (using a rifled ball) at a time when most longarms were unrifled muskets.  Some Kentucky Rifles were made rather ornate by their
  owners, though most retained their utilitarian form and were used for hunting and self defense.  Irregulars armed with Kentucky Rifles
  quickly became the bane of British Troops during the Revolutionary War – their owners were generally crafty woodsmen who would
  fire a well-aimed shot, with the accent on picking off officers, and then melt into the woods again, leaving no trace.  Kentucky Rifle-
  armed marksmen again acquitted themselves well during the War of 1812, particularly in the Battle of New Orleans.  Backwoods
  people were known to make regular use of the Kentucky Rifle well into the 19th century, and reports of its use into the early 20th
  century abound.  The Hawken Rifle was essentially a shorter-barreled, shorter-stocked version of the Kentucky Rifle.
       Modern reproductions follow the original design as much as possible. An authentic stock is made of curly maple, but most modern
  reproductions use walnut in the stock.  The stock is long, relatively narrow, has a pronounced drop in it, and a sharply-curved butt that
  is designed to help stabilization on the shooter’s shoulder. The smaller calibers available reflect the fact that users of the Kentucky
  Rifles often chose smaller bores, both to make a lighter weapon and to conserve lead, which a short commodity at the time.  The
  barrels, of course, are quite long.  Modern reproductions often are somewhat or even highly decorated, particularly on the stock. 
  Sights are rudimentary, with a simple notch rear and blade front (a long way to the front of the rear sight); some modern reproductions
  are equipped with better sights.  Most metalwork is brass, but the barrel is heavy and of an octagonal cross-section; it is generally
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  blued in modern reproductions.  Depending on the time period simulated, the Kentucky Rifle can have flintlock or percussion ignition;
  the percussion versions are identical, but take only half the time to reload.  Modern manufacturers of the Kentucky Rifle include Dixie
  gun Works, Taylor’s, and traditions.

  Knight Elite Disc Rifle
       I’ll fully admit I don’t understand what the name of this weapon signifies; as with the Revolution, it is essentially a modern take on a
  blackpowder weapon, and uses inline ignition.  The stock style and synthetic construction are all modern, however.  The pistol grip
  wrist and fore-end are checkered.  The Elite Disc rifle uses a fully adjustable open rear sight and a blackened front bead.  In addition,
  the Elite Disc Rifle is drilled and tapped for a scope mount.  There is a Master Model, which has a two-tone walnut laminated stock,
  and a Disc Extreme which uses a full plastic jacket primer holder.  For game purposes, they are identical to the standard Model.

  Knight Revolution
       Notes: This is essentially a modern blackpowder weapon, using inline ignition and having a synthetic stock of modern design (and
  finished in black, Mossy Oak, or Realtree), though a laminated walnut stock is also available. The rear sight is an adjustable open
  sight; the front sight is a ramp with fiberoptic inserts. Metalwork finish can be blued or stainless steel. The breech pivots and drops for
  loading.  As stated, this is a modern-form rifle; the only thing that separates it from modern rifles is the use of blackpowder.  Barrel
  length is 27 inches.

  Knight Wolverine
       Notes: This is another blackpowder weapon, almost a blackpowder carbine with its short 22” barrel.  The Wolverine is an inline
  design.  The stock is synthetic with the pistol grip wrist and fore-end synthetic; finishes for the stock are black or camo of various sorts,
  and the stock has a recoil pad on the butt.  The stock normally uses a pistol grip wrist, but a thumbhole wrist is also available.  The
  rear sights are fully adjustable and the front sight is a blade; both use fiberoptic inserts.  The Wolverine is also drilled and tapped for a
  scope mount.
       The American Knight is similar, but the stock has sling swivel studs and does not have a recoil pad.  The front sight is a bead
  instead of a blade, but still has a fiberoptic insert.  The American Knight is also considerably lighter than the Wolverine.

  Lindner Carbine
       Notes: There are two basic variants of the Lindner Carbine; both fired combustible paper cartridges with a Minie Ball up front.  The
  Type I numbered only 501 built.  It used a unique method of opening the breech: a locking collar was rotated, allowing the spring-
  loaded, hinged breechblock to open. The 22-inch barrel was round and, like the rest of the metalwork, finished in bright iron.  As on
  many carbines, the Lindner had a bar on the left side with a ring, allowing it to be carried on a loose sling or clipped to the saddle ring
  of a cavalryman.  Deliveries to Union forces began in 1862.
       The Type II varied primarily in the markings on the carbine, the shape of the lock plate, the shape of the stock, and rear sight
  moved to the front of the breechblock.  The Type II is, for game purposes, identical to the Type I.  The War Department ordered 6000
  of the Lindner Type II, but they were not ready for delivery until 1864, after the entire lot was built.  The War Department refused the
  order, saying that they no longer needed the carbines.  They were eventually sold to France ten years later.

  Lindsay Double Rifle-Musket Model 1863
       Notes: with two percussion ignition systems, and with one barrel slightly ahead of the other (so as not to have both going off at
  once, the Lindsay had two triggers; the front fired the left barrel, and the rear the left barrel.  Perhaps 1000 were built, and they were
  actually used in one battle near the end of the war, plus by a few individuals late in the war.  Unfortunately, if the left barrel was fired
  first, the firing of the right barrel unduly fouled the right barrel, and the pulling of the front trigger often caused the inadvertent firing of
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  both barrels (and massive kick and shoulder bruises). Most of the weapon had metalwork in bright metal, though the rear leaf sight
  was blued.  It has three barrel bands, with the front sling swivel on the center band and the rear sling swivel in front of the trigger
  guard..The bayonet was modified to fit around both barrels.  The stock is black walnut, oil finished.
       The first ROF figure is to load one barrel; the second is for both barrels.

  Maynard Carbine
       Notes: There are two versions of the Maynard Carbine, Type I and Type II. Both use copper cartridges, also designed by Maynard. 
  The barrel is half-octagonal and 20 inches in length. The trigger guard has an extension which actuates the opening of the breech. 
  Metalwork is iron and is blued, as is the barrel.  The rear sight is a tang sight and the front is a blade.  Some later versions had a sling
  swivel on the toe of the stock for a loose sling. Despite being manufactured in Massachusetts, the Maynard Carbine was bought up by
  the soon-to-be Confederate States before the start of the Civil War.  Some 6000 were built and delivered, and issued to what
  Jefferson Davis considered his elite units. Ignition of the primer was by a percussion cap, though the Type I used the Maynard Tape
  Primer system.  The .35-40 Maynard proved to be positively anemic and was quickly dropped or converted to .50 Maynard.
       The Type II is made in only one caliber.  Some 20,200 were built and delivered, primarily in 1859 to the soon-to-be Confederate
  states.  The barrel was slightly longer at 20.375 inches.  It used conventional percussion caps. Otherwise, it is identical to the Type I
  for game purposes.

  Merrill Carbine
       Notes: This carbine fired a Minie Ball attached to a combustible paper cartridge or, unusually, a non-combustible foil or rubber
  cartridge. (The non-combustible packages increase loading time, but have no other effect in game terms.)  There were Type I and
  Type II versions, but the only difference was the markings and the lack of a patch box (they discovered it was not necessary), had a
  different rear sight, a stock with the fore-end being longer and fuller, and a different latch on the breech opening mechanism. (For
  game purposes, the two types are identical.  Both had a 22.125-inch browned or blued barrel (Naval and Marine versions were more
  likely to have browned barrels).  It was loaded by unlatching and lifting the breech lever, which caused the breechblock to move back,
  exposing the chamber.  All metalwork was bright brass.  Naval and Marine versions are tin-plated.  The bolt face is copper-plated. 
  Several thousand Type Is and 14,500 Type IIs were built, which made it one of the most-issued modern rifles of the Civil War. The
  Merrill Carbine was known for its relatively light weight.

  Millennium Muzzleloaders Competitor
       Notes: As the name would indicate, the Competitor is designed for blackpowder rifle competitions.  Except for the blackpowder
  propellant and inline ignition, the Competitor is a modern rifle, with a synthetic stock in matte charcoal or Mossy Oak finish.  The
  metalwork is blued.  The sights use a fiberoptic/bright paint system called by Millennium Muzzleloaders the Bright-Line system.  The
  Competitor is also drilled and tapped for a scope mount.  The trigger is fully user-adjustable and the Competitor comes with a

  Morse Carbine
       This carbine fired a metallic cartridge which was heavy-caliber and had a decent case size with a large powder charge.  They were
  built at the Military Works in Greenville, South Carolina, with about a thousand built and issued to South Carolina troops. The Morse
  Carbine is one of the most advanced firearms the Confederates had manufactured, but it did not appear until 1864. Except for the
  barrel and sights, the metalwork was brass, and the Morse carbine had a blocky, lumpish appearance.  Reloading is done via a tilting
  breech; loading methods differ with the Model of the Carbine.  Type Is used a moveable operating rod, which also the firing pin.  The
  Type II latching mechanism uses a hollow iron rod in which is the firing pin.  The hollow rod becomes flanged at the end going into the
  breech with a knurled front edge that covers the firing pin where is contacts the round.  The Type III has a sliding breechblock to open
  the breech and close it.  In all cases, the internal loading and firing mechanism are controlled by a hand lever under the wrist. All are
  identical for game purposes.
       The barrel may be round or half-octagonal, ands is 21 inches long.  It is blued iron.

  Morse Inside Lock Musket
       Notes: These were designed for use by the Union forces In the Civil War. Fewer than 200 were made; the reason is it's,

  lock, and terminates at the percussion nipple. The barrel is 40.31 inches.

  NEF Huntsman
     This is for the most an old early 18th-century design muzzleloader, but it has some modern refinements.  The stock is American
  hardwood with a walnut finish, but the stock is also weatherproofed.  A polymer-stocked version is also built. The front and rear sights
  both have fiberoptic inlays.  The 24-inch barrel has a black oxide finish; the rest of the metalwork is color-case hardened, and the
  barrel is rifled.  The 26-inch barrel is less common, still made in significant numbers. The Huntsman is also drilled and tapped for a
  scope mount.  The Stainless Huntsman is a variant with a matte nickel finish receiver instead of being color-case hardened.

  Nock Volley Gun
       Notes: The Nock Volley Gun was an attempt to increase the firepower of the then-new rifled muskets.  Despite the name, the Nock
  Volley Gun was invented by James Wilson in the late 1770s; the first guns were delivered in the early 1780s.  However, the maker of
  the barrel cluster was stamped on the top barrel, “H.Nock,” and so the hybrid weapon became to be known as the Nock Volley Gun. 
  The name “Volley” came from the use of a cluster of simultaneously-fired rifled barrels; the result was much like a burst from an
  assault rifle.  (There was no provision to fire the barrels individually or keep some barrels unloaded; it was all or nothing.) The Nock
  Volley Gun proved to be heavy, produce massive muzzle flash and smoke, and prone to cause shoulder bruising and injuries due to
  the massive amount of powder required to fire 7 barrels simultaneously.  This was not so important on a ship or from a fortification
  where the weapon could be bipod or tripod mounted, but an individual infantryman carrying one was not a happy camper unless he
  was a masochist.  Barrels were short at 20 inches and chambered for .52-caliber balls (though a more common loading was a patched
  .49 or .495 ball). Eventually, complaints about the difficulty of using the Nock Volley Gun led to loadings reduced to 41.5 grains of
  powder (down from 57 grains), and the use of paper partridges loaded with a .445 ball.  Nonetheless, the tremendous gout of fire and
  smoke led to the rifle being banned on ships for fear of setting the rigging on fire.  On land and sea, the Nock disappears from military
  service after 1805.
       But this was not the end of the Nock.  It acquired a following among hunters, especially those hunting birds.  In the 1830s, some of
  the first cased rifle rounds were used on modified Nocks.  The Volley could bring down just about anything, and African hunters also
  used the Nock.  One hunter, COL Thomas Thornton, uses a 12-barreled variation.  Most of these cartridge-firing versions were break-
  open and chambered for rounds like .500 Nitro Express. These could be fired with some of the barrels unloaded. (Quite frankly, with
  the figures I’m getting, it mystifies me how anyone could fire a fully-loaded .500 Nitro-firing Nock!)
       However, the Nock again fell into the dustbin of history around the 1860s – until the late 1950s.  John Wayne and company were
  looking for massive amounts of period weaponry, including a Nock for Jim Bowie as played by Richard Widmark.  Though one fully
  authentic Nock was used in the movie, the laborious loading and long loading times meant that most Nocks appearing in the film were
  fired electrically with a surreptitious powder loading band being fitted to the Nock.
       Today, one can still get a Nock, whether old-style or cartridge firing.  The Rifle Shoppe will sell you parts kits, though an assembled
  gun will cost you a mint in IRL terms.
       Note that the barrels of the Nock are each rifled. Damage is per ball (or bullet); treat as a 7-round burst (or 12-round, for the
  Thornton Rifle) for volley effects.

  Parker-Hale Volunteer 2-Band Target
       Notes: The Volunteer is a replica of an old-world type of rifle; the original was designed for rifled balls, but the Parker-Hale version
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  is designed to fire a modern update of a Minie Ball-type round.  (The range below reflects that this is a rifled weapon and not a
  smoothbore.)  Ignition is by percussion, and the barrel is a very long 32-inch barrel with a heavy profile.  The stock is of walnut, and
  oil-finished; a not is given to modern methods with the checkered (straight) wrist and checkered fore-end.  The front sights are of a
  type that was once common, a ball-shaped sight called a globe; the rear sight is an adjustable ladder sight.  The receiver has a color-
  case hardened finish, the barrel is blued, and the buttplate, trigger guard, and parts of the fore-end are brass.
       The Whitworth is a similar design, but has a 36-inch barrel which does not have a heavy profile.

  Piedmontese Model 1844/60 Rifled Musket
       Notes: Originally built in Torino Italy, they were converted to then-modern standards in 1860, in hopes to sell them to the US Army,
  who would buy just about any reasonably-modern firearm at the time.  They originally a copy of the French Model 1822 musket, they
  then became their own rifles.  They were bought by Secretary of War Stanton in correspondence to Marcellus Hartley, without going
  through normal channels, as other parties were interested and they were regarded all over Europe as weapons of quality. The Union
  bought some 2000 copies. Barrel length is 42 inches.

  Prussian Model 1809 Musket
       Notes: These muskets, used throughout the Civil War, were perhaps some of the oldest in use in that war.  They were made by
  Potsdam, Saarn, Naisse, and Suhl.  Originally a flintlock, the Model 1809 was converted to percussion ignition well before the Civil
  War.  Some 100,300 were bought by the US Government.  Their external metalwork is finished in bright steel.  Barrel is 42.38 inches.

  Prussian Model 1839/55 Rifled Musket
       Notes: This rifled musket had several versions, primarily differentiated by caliber.  They had both Prussian and American markings,
  and were used only by Union forces during the Civil War.  Some 65,000 were imported from Suhl, Potsdam, Zella, and Mehlis
  armories.
       Two broad versions, other than caliber, were produced. The Type I was based on the Model 1839.  It uses the Belgian cone type of
  percussion lock, and the cone may be screwed onto the breech.  Their bores ranged from.60 to .715.  They were imported for the
  Union by Herman Boker, a company still in business. It is interesting that the importation order listed the Type I as "smooth bore,"
  though they were definitely rifled.
       The Type II came in a .615 bore version only.  While the Type I could not accept a bayonet, the Type II could.  They have a long-
  range adjustable long range sight, with a brass bead front sight.  These were imported by John Hoey, but not until 1862.
       Barrels for all were 43.75 inches.

  PS Justice Rifled Musket
       Notes: These rifles, coming in Types I-III, were made in response to an emergency order by the Union forces,  Type I was built
  from already made stocks and furniture, usually black walnut, and mostly unseasoned; they tended to crack or warp with weather and
  abuse.  The rifling consisted of wide bands and shallow grooves.  It used long range rear sights. The lock and trigger were taken from
  surplus Model 1816 Muskets, and the three barrel bands from Model 1840 or 1841 Muskets.  The Type I had a 39-inch barrel.
       The barrel of the Type II was, like the rest of the rifle, crudely made, something you might find in a war emergency manufacture.  It
  has a browned barrel, but the rest of the metalwork was natural metal, except for the brass buttplate.  The stocks were made from
  blanks, and were generally shipped out in their unseasoned condition; they weren't black walnut, they were made of blackened walnut.
  The trigger guard had a distinctive reverse bow, and there were no provisions for sling swivels. It too had a 39-inch barrel.
       The Type III, unlike the others, was built from newly-manufactured parts, and had seasoned black walnut stocks.  The Type III had
  a browned 39-inch barrel.  Most fittings were brass.  The front sight was a broad blade, and the rear sight a two-leaf adjustable sight. 
  The barrel was secured with wide barrel bands, three in number, with a sling swivel at the top band and the rear swivel on the middle
  band.
       Despite the differences between the sub-models, all are identical in game terms.

  Puckle Gun
       Notes: The Puckle Gun (also known as the Defence Gun) was a flintlock weapon that was years ahead of its time; vaguely similar
  percussion revolvers were not available until 1814, nearly a hundred years after the Puckle Gun was first demonstrated.  The Puckle
  Gun was, astonishingly for 1717, the first example of a revolving firearm.  The ammunition was loaded, one chamber at a time, into
  cassettes; the firing handle was unscrewed, and the cassette inserted into the frame. Though loading a full cassette was impractical
  on the battlefield (it took nearly an hour), the cassette could be removed and another preloaded cassette inserted, which took only 20
  seconds. A cassette held 11 shots.  The entire gun sat on a tall tripod, allowing the firer to fire the gun from a standing (and less
  fatiguing) position.  The Puckle Gun is fired in a manner similar to a standard flintlock -- the chamber was indexed, then powder placed
  on the pan and the cassette locked.  After firing a round, the cassette was unlocked and advanced by hand, then the firing procedure
  begun anew. This seems complicated, but the Puckle Gun was able to fire 9 shots per minute, where an experienced infantryman
  might be able to manage as much as 5 shots per minute, and three was more likely. Aiming is not it's strong point, and the Puckle gun
  has shorter range than is standard for a flintlock rifle, though the 36-inch barrel mitigates this somewhat.  The muzzle of the barrel also
  has a fixture ahead of its time: a flash suppressor, as well as another ahead-of-its-time features for a small arm, a leaf sight.  Puckle
  actually made two versions of his gun: one which fired conventional round shot, and one which fired square shot, to be used against
  the Turks "and other heretics."  However, though the square bullet was meant to cause more damage, the actual increase in damage
  is not quantifiable in Twilight 2000 v2.2 terms, and their flight path was unpredictable. Unlike most firearms of the period, the Puckle
  Gun was made of brass instead of iron or steel.  It had no pistol grip or stock, though it had a primitive T&E mechanism.  Loaded
  cassettes weigh 0.92 kg; unloaded, they weigh 0.85 kg.
       Alas, the Puckle Gun could not pass the giggle test, despite its technical brilliance and usefulness as a volley weapon. In addition,
  Puckle found investors who were essentially feckless and insisted on decreased manufacturing standard before they essentially stole
  Puckle's company's money, and the British Army itself and the Crown would not invest in the strange firearm.  Though a few were built
  and employed, the Puckle Gun was basically a failure, though no fault of Puckle's.

  Remington Carbine
       Notes: Two chamberings for this carbine were made; the .46 Short, was the US Military cartridge  (Remington had a license for the
  .46 Short, meant for their upcoming New Model Army revolver, but also used in the Remington Carbine.  Some 5000 were produced. 
  The Remington Carbine was also known as the Split Breech Remington, because it used a split breech mechanism, an early version
  of the rolling block. Furniture is black walnut, and metalwork is iron, including a case-hardened receiver. The fore-end was short to
  save weight, and around this fore-end was the iron barrel band. The front sight was a blade, and the rear a folding single adjustable
  leaf. The barrel was round, 20 inches, and blued.  After the Civil War, it was common among civilians to modify the Remington
  Carbine to use .56-50 Spencer, and to be used as hunting weapons or general home defense weapons.

  Remington M-700ML
       Notes: This is the blackpowder counterpart to the great Remington Model 700 cartridge rifles, using blackpowder inline operation. 
  The Model 700ML is otherwise a modern firearm, with a synthetic stock finished in natural black or Mossy Oak camouflage.  The front
  sight can be a bead or a blade, and is dovetailed to allow changes of front sight.  The rear sight is an open adjustable model.  The
  Model 700ML is also drilled and tapped for a scope mount.  The metalwork is finished in wither satin blue or stainless steel.  A Youth
  version with a shorter stock is available; but this is otherwise the same as the standard Model 700ML.  Barrel is 24 inches.

  Remington Model 1863 Contract Rifle
       Notes: Also known as the Zouave Rifle, this is a shortened version of the Springfield 1855; it has a 33-inch blued barrel with 3-7
  grooves in its bore (most have five).  The lock plates and lockwork is case-hardened; most other metalwork is bright brass, including
  the metal parts of the ramrod.  The Model 1863 had only two barrel bands, but they are wider than normal. The bayonet lug is large,
  locking the saber-type bayonet securely.

  Robbins & Lawrence Windsor Rifle-Musket
       Notes: Though the official caliber for this rifle-musket is .577, a .58 Minie Ball will fit, though it will be slightly tight. This is a copy of
  P-1853, with royalties paid to the Windsor arsenal in England.  It was oriuginally meant to be re-sold in Europe, under the Pattern
  1853.  They were meant for use in the Crimean War, but the Union side ended up keeping the 16,000 rifles they had assembled, as
  well as buying back more from the British.  This was awkward, because in the early parts of the Civil War, the British supported the
  Confederate side.  The three barrel bands were soldered to the barrel, with an additional front sight blade soldered in front.  The rear
  sight was a simple notch.

  Ruger M-77/50
       Notes: Similar in concept to the Remington 700ML, the Ruger M-77/50 is the blackpowder counterpart to the Ruger M-77 cartridge
  rifle.  It uses inline ignition, and has a 22-inch barrel.  The stock may be laminated American hardwood or synthetic.  Sights consist of
  a gold bead front and a folding rear ladder/peep sight.  The Ruger M-77/50 has integral one-inch scope mounts, and comes with a pair
  of one-inch scope rings. Metalwork may be blued or stainless steel.  Unlike most blackpowder weapons of this type, the Ruger M-
  77/50 has a three-position safety.  A variant called the Officer’s Model has a checkered pistol grip wrist and fore-end and a curved
  buttplate.

  Savage 10ML
       Notes: This is another blackpowder weapon based on a cartridge rifle, in this case the Savage Model 10/110 series.  Like the
  Remington and Ruger examples, it uses inline ignition, and has a stock which is basically like that of its cartridge rifle counterpart
  which can be laminated hardwood or synthetic (the synthetic stock may be black or camo finished).  The rear sights are adjustable,
  and the front sight is a ramp with a fiberoptic inlay.  The sights may be deleted and the rifle bought with a factory installed scope (not
  included below), but is normally drilled and tapped for a scope mount.  Metalwork may be blued or stainless steel.  Barrel is 24 inches.

  Saxon Model 1844 Rifled Musket
       Notes: This rifled musket was built under the direction of Liege, Belgium, though manufacture was farmed out to several smaller
  armories.  Like many rifled muskets of the period, these started out as smoothbore, but were rifled in the 1850s.  Two rear sights have
  been noted on these rifled muskets: a notched, block-mounted sight, and a leaf site, plated in brass and with three sighting holes.
  Metalwork is brass over iron. The barrel was left in bright metal steel.  It is not known how many were imported, nor who used it; it was
  used by the Union side, however.  Barrel length is 42.75 inches.

  Saxon Model 1851 Rifle-Musket
       Notes: The original design for the Model 1851 used the Tige system, used to pre-expand the Minie Ball before impact with flesh.  In
  actuality, the Tige system added unnecessary complexity to the rifle, and made the Minie Ball unstable in flight, seriously degrading
  accuracy.  Therefore, the Tige system was quickly dropped, and few made it to the world's armed forces.  None of the Model 1851s
  imported by the US used the Tige System. George Schuyler, the purchasing agent for the Confederacy, secured 27,055 for the
  Confederacy, while Marcellus Hartley, the purchasing agent for the Union, was only able to buy 1740 of these rifles.  The Model 1851
  was often referred to as the Dresden Rifle, due to large numbers being imported into Prussia through Dresden.  The 39.75-inch barrel
  was secured with three bands; the front band also had the blade front sight.  The rear sight was an adjustable leaf, graduated for 200,
  400, and 600 paces (a pace being about 30 inches).  Model 1851s are essentially modernized Model 1844.
       And the Model 1857 is essentially a modernized Model 1851.  They were produced from 1857-1861.  Purchasing agents from the
  Union side of the American Civil War were unable to get many of them, as demand in Europe for the rifle was so high.  The
  Confederates were unable to get any. It has a 41.75-inch barrel, browned barrel, with otherwise bright metal finish and brass barrel
  bands with a brass blade front sight. Furniture again is European Walnut.

  Sharps Model 1851 Carbine
       These 1457 carbines were built for the 1st and 2nd US Dragoons, though not issued to them until the Mexican War; they then saw
  service amongst the Confederates in the Civil War; 60 were also issued to the US Marines.  They fired a combustible cartridge of
  paper or linen, tipped by a Minie Ball.  There were Type I and Type II versions. Operation was by falling block; when fallen, the
  hammer base was enclosed within the lock.  The firing pin was retained by a spring.  The operating lever was under the base of the
  fore-end and was squeezed to open the breech.  It used the Maynard Tape Primer System, and was fired by percussion. On the left
  side of the barrel band, extending to the frame, was a 9-inch sling bar and swivel.  All metalwork except for the 21.625-inch barrel was
  brass.  Some models had an implement box set into the left side of the stock; this was also brass when present.
       The Model 1851 Sporting Carbine, also known as the Model 1851 Carbine Type II, was originally designed for civilian hunters
  rather than as a military weapon; only 400 were built.  Three calibers were available, with a combustible case tipped by a Minie Ball. 
  They did not have the sling bar, and sometimes had a browned barrel. The sling bar was omitted on the Type II, with the sling swivel
  being an eyebolt screwed directly into the fore-end. They typically saw only private use by Union troops in the Civil War, i.e., by
  soldiers or relatives and friends buying the Sporting Carbine for soldiers on the lines.  Usually the heaviest calibers were sent to troops
  by their relatives and friends, along with a copious supply of ammunition.  Some 400 of these carbines were produced.  The barrel
  was 21.625 inches and blued; some had blued and engraved frames and lock plates.
       The Model 1852 Carbine also fired a combustible paper or linen case tipped by a Minie Ball.  The Maynard tape system was
  abandoned in favor of Sharps' own slanted-breech pellet primer system.  It has bright-finished barrels and brass metalwork.  The Type
  II was the sporting model (Sharps Model 1852 Sporting Carbine)  and approximately 600 were built.  The barrel could be octagonal or
  round. Again many found their way to the troops in the conflict.  Other than loading times, these are identical to the Model 1851. 
  Barrels were 21.875 inches.
       The Model 1853 is for the most part identical for game purposes Identical to the Type I Model 1852,  The operating lever was a
  spring-loaded stud, retaining the operating lever pin, and thus the latch was directly on the breechblock.  At first, metalwork (except
  the barrel) were brass, but they were later blued iron.  The barrel was also blued.  Some had the 9-inch sling bar with sling swivel. 
  Some 900 were used by the Free Staters in Kansas, and took part in the Bloody Kansas massacre.  John Brown's rebels had some
  7000 on hand, though not all were used in the 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry. These were later issued to Union troops.  For game
  purposes, it is identical to the Model 1852 Type I.
       The Sharps Model 1855 was the last Sharps slanting block design, and the last to use the Maynard Tape Primer System.  It was in
  many ways similar to the Model 1852 and Model 1853.  It had a 21.75-inch round barrel.  The Navy bought 101 of the same rifle, but
  used a .577 caliber round fired from an 18-inch barrel. 50 of these were equipped with the rather useless Rollins White cocking
  device.  This was difficult to use and prone to jamming, and these carbines were quickly discarded.  The Type II was the same, but
  was the civilian version, identical to the Type I for game purposes.  The Type III was similar to the Type I, but had the caliber
  increased to .577, and a 21-inch barrel which was usually round and blued.  The Type IV is similar to the Type III, but had an 18-inch
  or 19-inch barrel. It was primarily issued to US Marines.
       The Model 1859 Carbine used the Sharps Pellet Priming System, but this version of the system also allowed for the use of
  conventional percussion caps.  It had a 22-inch barrel with a case-hardened frame, brass metalwork, and a sling ring on the left side of
  the wrist.
       The Model 1859 New Model Carbine used a gas check system that ensured that the breech remained sealed until deliberately
  opened.  The sealing of the breechblock was advanced at the time.  3000 Early Models were built; 1500 were sold to Georgia, and
  1500 to the War Department.  They had brass metalwork except for the blued barrel.  The Late Model had all-iron construction except
  for the furniture, and had an implement box on the left side of the stock, also iron.  Some 30,000 were bought by the War Department
  and 4000 by the US Navy, and were primarily issued out to the Marines.  For game purposes, they are identical to the Model 1859
  Carbine.
       The Model 1863 New Model Carbine came in Early Models, which had an implement box, and the Late Model, which didn't.  Both
  used all-iron metalwork. It is identical to the Model 1859 Carbine for game purposes. Some 60,000 were built.
       The Model 1865 New Model Carbine was virtually identical to the Model 1863 New Model Carbine.  5000 were built.  They are
  identical to the Model 1859 Carbine for game purposes.

  Sharps Model 1853
       Notes: These rifles all stem from the 1853 design.  They use a combustible cartridge based on nitrated paper or linen.  They used
  Sharps' own patented pellet-primer mechanism (essentially a magazine for percussion caps); the mechanism held six caps. 
  Reloading the magazine takes 2 phases. The Model 1853 had a 27.325-inch round, browned barrel, with the rest of the metalwork
  being brass, except for the receiver, which was case-hardened steel.  One barrel band, an inch wide, secured the barrel about two-
  thirds of the way up the fore-end.  The butt had a brass plate, and inside was a compartment for cleaning supplies.  The rear sight was
  an adjustable leaf and the front was a blade.  Production numbers were low, and they were made exclusively for the US Navy.
       The Model 1855 Type was almost identical to the Model 1853; it was a bit heavier, primarily due to the barrel lengthened to 28.25
  inches.  It too was made for the Union Navy, but fewer than 200 were made and delivered.  Less than 50 of the Type II were made;
  originally, the Type II had a mechanism that opened the bolt, cocked the hammer, and loaded a percussion cap from the magazine
  with one stroke.  It proved very unreliable, and those that were made had this mechanism removed, effectively making them Type Is
  again. Only 12 of the Type IIs were made.  The Type III had a barrel lengthened to 39 inches (and intended for sharpshooting), and
  made of bright steel.  The other metalwork was made in bright iron.
       The Model 1859 was again similar to the 1853 and 1855, but a new breech block mechanism was introduced, one that simplified
  production.  It was the straight breech, as opposed to the slanted breech of the earlier rifles.  The Type I version had a 30-inch blued

  barrel and were built for the Union Army and Navy; some 4300 were built.  The rest of the metalwork, other than the barrel, were case-
  hardened iron. The Type II was identical except for the use of a socketed spike bayonet instead of a saber-type bayonet. The Type III
  had a 36-inch barrel and was made for sharpshooters; 600 were made.  2000 Type IVs were made; they were issued only to COL
  Hiram Berdan's 1st and 2nd Regiments, US Sharpshooters. They had double set triggers and 30-inch round blued barrels.
       The Models 1863 Types I & II were identical for game purposes to the Models 1859 Types I & II.  About 7150 of these were built.

  Sharps & Hankins Model 1861
       Notes: This rifle was designed for US Marines actively stationed aboard ships, and only about 700 were produced.  It fired a
  specially-designed rimfire metallic cartridge round.  It fired via a simple cocking lever; the barrel slid forward and the shooter put a
  fresh round into the breech and closed it again with the same lever he used to open the breech, with the barrel pulling back into the
  breech.  The barrel was a bit long at 32.75 inches, and it was browned.  Most of the metalwork was case-hardened, but the buttplate
  was brass.  The stock was secured to the barrel by four barrel bands.
       The Model 1862 was a "carbine" variant, with a 27-inch barrel and no fore-end, barrel bands, or bayonet lug. The firing pin was
  moved inside the receiver, and it had a lubricating aperture on the side of the frame. This version was not well received and few were
  built.
       The Model 1862 Army Carbine had a 23.625-inch blued barrel.  The firing pin is connected to the hammer in early models; later,
  the firing pin was a part in of itself and was in the rear of the frame. The breech opened via an operating lever connected to the trigger
  guard.  Most metal parts other than the barrel were case-hardened; unlike most rifles and carbines of the time, most of the parts were
  steel instead of iron. Some had no fore-end, but most had a short fore-end, not much longer than to provide gripping space.  The
  Model 1862 Cavalry is basically the same, but with a short 19-inch barrel.  The Model 1862 Cavalry was used exclusively by the 9th
  and 11th New York Volunteer Cavalry Regiments. The Model 1862 Navy Carbine was much more produced than any other of the
  variations of this rifle, with 11,000 being produced for the Union Navy and Marines.  It is almost identical to the Army Carbine, but had
  a leather cover over the barrel to help prevent rusting.  For game purposes, it is identical to the Army Carbine.

  Spencer Army Rifle
       Notes: The Spencer is often said to be the best firearm of the Civil War.  It was innovative, near-soldier-proof, used the rapid fire
  capabilities inherent in its design, and eliminated the possibilities of wet powder.  It was often the first time most Confederate soldiers
  had faced soldiers armed with repeating rifles. It was procured by the Union government and the soldiers alike, and the first
  government order was signed by Abraham Lincoln himself.  Procurement was limited only by the ability of the Spencer Repeating Rifle
  Company itself; the Union would have bought as many as they could make.  The lever-action mechanism was designed by
  Christopher Spencer himself. The design placed the tubular magazine in the butt.  The blued barrel was 30 inches; to a military that is
  used to barrels sometimes over 40 inches, this was a carbine, though by today's measurement, it is a rather long-barreled rifle. The
  receiver and mechanism were case-hardened.  The rear sight was a single adjustable leaf, while the front sight was a blade.
       The Navy Rifle was essentially the same, expect for its markings.  It was primarily issued to Marines.
       The Rifle-Musket was not really a musket in any way; the term more denotes the increased length of the barrel.  The barrel was 38
  inches long, and the extra length was designed for sharpshooters.
       The Spencer Model 1860 Carbine was a shorter version of the Army Rifle; it had a 22-Inch barrel.  Though available in 1860, Union
  purchases and issue did not start until 1863.  By then, a large number of Union soldiers were already using the Spencer Carbine,
  bought by soldiers or their families and friends and used in the Civil War as early as 1861. The Model 1865 was little used in the Civil
  War, as they were not available until early 1865.  Eventually, 21,511 were produced.  The Model 1865 used a shorter 20-Inch barrel
  and a different cartridge than the Model 1860.  Both used a tubular magazine in the stock, and both were cocked by using the
  enlarged trigger guard. The Model 1865 had a cutoff switch, allowing the shooter to load one shot at a time instead of feeding from the
  magazine.  The Union bought over 30,000 of the Model 1865 Burnside Contract Carbines; most didn't see combat in the Civil War due
  to their late entry.  For game purposes, both Model 1865s are identical.

  Springfield Joslyn Model 1861
       Notes: The first breechloading rifle to be built in large numbers, the Joslyn was made for general issue, though it was not issued to
  Union troops until 1865, shortly before the end of the Civil War.  Joslyn was a subcontractor of Springfield. Two versions were built:
  the Army version, which fired a .52 caliber bullet, the Navy version (Model 1862), which fired a .58-caliber bullet.  Both were metallic
  cartridges.  The Model 1864 could fire the Spencer .56-52 cartridge or the Joslyn .54 cartridges. It also had a number of small
  improvements.  The Model 1865 had a slightly different action, not measureable in Twilight 2000 v2.2 rules.  Barrel length was 35.5
  inches; it was round and blued. Three bands connected to the fore-end.

  Springfield Model 1841 Rifle
       Notes: Though these rifles were assembled at the Springfield Armory, the parts were actually made at the Harpers Ferry Arsenal. 
  It called by many names, including Mississippi Rifle, Windsor Rifle, Harpers Ferry Rifle, Whitney Rifle, Remington Rifle, Yarger Rifle. 
  These names were connected to subcontractors who assembled or even manufactured the Model 1841 Rifle.  The Model 1841 Rifle
  was actually a Rifled Musket, as it fired a ball down a rifled barrel and not a Minie Ball.  The Model 1841 was replaced in 1855 by the
  Model 1855 Rifle-Musket, which was actually a rifle; this was a direct order from the Secretary of War.  The Model 1841 was not rifled
  at first; it was a musket, unrifled.  The Corps of Cadets as West Point received the Model 1841 Rifles for purposes of training
  underclassmen after they had been declared obsolete.  The Model 1841 had a V-notch rear sight and a brass blade front sight; it had
  three barrel bands secured by screws.  These sights were later upgraded for precision by Harpers Ferry, as there were complaints
  about the accuracy of the rifle because of its sights.  The left side of the rifle had a patch box set into the left side of buttstock, and it
  was of pretty substantial size.  The barrel is a short and reasonably manageable 36.375 inches.
       Subcontractors for the Model 1841 included Remington; Robbins, Kendall and Lawrence, Robbins & Lawrence (not the same
  company), Tryon & Son, and Whitney.  Confederate copies were made largely in South Carolina at Palmetto, though some were made
  in Northern armories for state militias before the Civil War began.
       There were a number of modifications and alterations made to the basic Model 1841 pattern.  Almost all of these modifications
  were done by the Harpers Ferry Arsenal.  Most were variations in the sights, the barrel bands, or the bayonet used, though the first
  alteration was to fire Minie Balls.  After the Fourth Alteration, the caliber was stepped up to .58 caliber, and the second pattern bayonet
  was used.  The Linder Modification was a major modification designed to use combustible paper cartridges, essentially turning it into
  breechloading rifle. (It's conceptually similar to an inline.) The rear leaf sights were modified to take into account the more
  standardized ballistics.  Modifications were applied to Confederate rifles as they were captured and brought in to armories.
       One of these Confederate rifles based on the Model 1841 was the Asheville Armory Rifle, which was based on the 1st Alteration. 
  The C Chapman Rifle was based on the 4th Alteration.  There were dozens of others; they were often handmade in individual
  workshops and may not have necessarily had interchangeable parts or high production numbers.

  Springfield Cadet Musket Model 1841
       Notes: This musket was designed and specially made for cadets at West Point; as a result, Springfield made just enough for West
  Point to use (about 450). It was in West Point service until 1856; when the Civil War broke out, when it was pressed into service. The
  Cadet Musket had no rear sight and has three barrel bands.  Most had a 40-inch barrel with three securing bands; it may have been a
  later modification, perhaps only a field modification, but examples have also been found with 31-inch and 34-inch barrels. Ignition is by
  percussion.
       Many of the Cadet Muskets received rifled barrels starting in 1857; some 341 were so rifled.  The contract was drawn up in 1851,
  so the nomenclature was Rifled Cadet Musket Model 1851.  These had 40-inch barrels, but not the shorter barrels. They were
  equipped with long-range rear sights. These were finished bright except for the buttplate and barrel bands, which were brass.

  Springfield Model 1855 Rifle-Musket
       Notes: The winds of war had been blowing since well before the outbreak of hostilities in the Civil War, and the North was
  attempting to modernize as quickly as they could get funding.  The Model 1855 and later rifles were attempts at this.  The Model 1855
  were the first American firearms to use the Minie Ball instead of a round ball for ammunition, though it was still a muzzleloader.  This
  rifle was made in Massachusetts by Springfield, as well as at Harpers Ferry (now in West Virginia, then in Virginia), and by Eli
  Whitney's company in Connecticut.  Springfield also built a much smaller number of rifles for the training of the Corps of Cadets at
  West Point.  The Model 1855 used the Maynard tape primer system, where percussion caps were embedded in paper and
  (theoretically) could be easily moved from on cap to another, much like a child's cap gun.  In actuality, the tape would get wet in rainy
  weather or even normal use and fall to pieces quickly, negating the advantages of a tape primer system.  It was nonetheless being
  used through the Civil War; even captured examples were duplicated by the Confederates.  There were generally three types of these
  rifles produced; Type I had a long-base notch-type rear sight, adjustable for long and short range, and metalwork was bright iron in
  finish.  Type II used a smaller two-leaf sight, also adjustable for long or short range.  Type II used an iron fore-tip and a patch and
  maintenance box was set inside the right side of the buttstock.  Barrels for the standard rifle were 40 inches long; for the Cadet Rifle,
  38 inches (and a stock 1 inch shorter). The first number under ROF is for when the tape primer system is working properly; the second
  is for the usual, when it is not working.
       The Model 1861 was roughly the same, but corrected numerous deficiencies of the Model 1855.  It was the primary rifle of the Civil
  War, and produced by Springfield, Eagle, Colt, Alfred Jenks & Son, Whitneyville Armory, William Mason, ASH Waters James D
  Mowry, and some 27 other armories large and small, in a practice similar to the way World War 2 firearms would be manufactured
  about 78 years later.  It dispensed with the tape primer system.  Most of the metalwork was finished bright, except for the rear sights,
  which were blued.  As designed, they had two-leaf long/short range sights, but many were supplied with Model 1858 sights. The stock
  was walnut and oil-finished.  Barrels continued to be at 40 inches, and the caliber remained the same. All had the patch box in the
  right buttstock.
       The Confederate armory at Richmond, Virginia made a near-copy (close enough for game purposes) of the Springfield Model
  1855. calling it the Richmond Armory Rifle-Musket.  It was the primary Confederate small arm throughout the Civil War.  It however did
  not use the Maynard tape primer system.

  Starr Carbine
       Notes: Another weapon that soldiers or their families and friends frequently bought for use in the Civil War, the Starr came in two
  versions that at first seem to be quite different from each other.  The Starr Percussion Carbine was fired by loading a combustible
  case of paper or linen, with a Minie Ball at its tip.  The Starr Carbine saw considerable use in the Western Campaign of the Civil War,
  
  Blackpowder Rifles
  blackpowder_rifles.html[12/13/2017 11:55:34 AM]
  on both sides -- it was built from 1858 until 1865, and most of the 1st Arkansas Volunteer Cavalry Regiment were armed with Starr
  Percussion Carbines.  The breech was opened using the lever, which was an enlarged trigger guard.  The round, blued barrel was 21
  inches in most of the Starr Percussion Carbines, though early in the production run the barrel was 18 inches.  The breech, lever, and
  action are case-hardened, but the barrel band and the buttplate are brass.  A sling ring on a bar was on the left side; the sling ring is
  large enough to be attached to a Cavalryman's saddle.
       The Starr Carbine fires a different caliber, and uses rimfire cartridges instead of the combustible case.  However, they essentially
  have the same action, with some adjustments to allow it to take metallic cartridges.  In less than one month, March to April 1865, Starr
  tested, built and delivered 5,002 of these carbines to the Union, and they were all issued out, though they did not see much action.

  Thompson/Center Black Diamond
       Notes: This weapon has a modern stock, but standard percussion ignition and muzzleloading.  It can use standard percussion caps
  or inline-type primers for ignition.  The stock is synthetic with checkering on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end.  Stock color may be
  black, faux black walnut, or Realtree Hardwoods camo.  The rear sight is a click-adjustable steel peep sight, and the front sight is a
  ramp.  Both have fiberoptic inserts, and the Black Diamond is drilled and tapped for a scope.  Metalwork may be blued or stainless
  steel.  The XR (Xtended Range) variant has a 32-inch barrel, as opposed to the 26-inch barrel of the Black Diamond.  Standard caliber
  is .50, but .45 is available upon request. The Black Diamond and XR are not rifled, unlike most modern blackpowder weapons.

  Thompson/Center Omega
       Notes: A modern inline weapon, the Omega is made primarily of synthetic furniture with blued metalwork. The furniture may be
  black, RealTree Hardwoods, or gray. It has a lever-action system, allowing one to load the primer from the breech rather than the
  muzzle, and to easily and safely clear duds. Atop the receiver it is drilled and tapped for a scope, with auxiliary iron sights consisting of
  a click-adjustable fiberoptic rear and a TruGlo fiberoptic dovetailed front sight. It has a rifled barrel 26 inches long. The breechblock
  cannot be lowered unless the hammer is fully cocked back, and vice versa.

  Traditions Vortek Ultralight LDR
       Notes: Despite being a blackpowder break-open muzzle-loading rifle, the Ultralight LDR is a modern inline weapon.  The Ultralight
  LDR has no iron sights, but does have a MIL-STD-1913 over the receiver.  The stock and fore-end are of Synthetic Hougue Overmold,
  and may be had in Black or Reaper Buck (a Camouflage design).  Metalwork is of chrome/moly steel, with a Cerekote finish.  The
  Ultralight LDR is in fact quite light in weight for the size of the weapon, largely due to its synthetic stock.

  Triplett & Scott Repeating Rifle
       Notes: Made by Meriden Manufacturing, the Triplett & Scott is names for its two designers -- who borrowed heavily from Spencer's
  design.  Kentucky bought 3000 of these rifles in 1865 and the Civil War was nearly over, but began to dispose of them in 1868, selling
  them off to entities like youth shooting programs, civilians, and state militias.  Like Spencer's design, the Triplett & Scott is fed by a 7-
  round tubular magazine in the buttstock.  To reload, the barrel is rolled aside 120 degrees, giving access to the spring-loaded
  magazine. It was shorter and handier than a Spencer Rifle, with a 27.5-inch barrel.  Most of the metalwork was blued iron, with the
  exception of the buttplate; even the single barrel band was blued iron.  The front sight was a blade and the rear sight an adjustable
  leaf.

  Wesson Military Carbine
       Notes: Manufactured by Frank Wesson's company, the Wesson Military Carbine was known for being light and handy.  It uses a
  break-open action, like most modern single-barrel firearms.  Wesson started building them in 1859.  The barrel was an octagonal 24-
  inch barrel which was blued.  The barrel is steel, though the rest of the metalwork is iron.  The front sight is a blade, and the rear a
  folding leaf sight.  The stock was black walnut; the fore-end was very short, not much more than required to hold the rifle still.  The
  Type I did not have the automatic extractor of later models.  Sling rings were to the rear of the cocking lever and at the front.  Cocking
  was done by pressing the trigger to the front of the trigger guard.
       The Type I Kittredge (named for the arms dealer who sold the US government the carbines) was for game purposes the same as
  the Type I.  Most were used by troops raised in Indiana.  The Type II Wesson Carbine was also the same as the Type I for game
  purposes, but differed somewhat mechanically, with the "oscillating lock" located on left side of the breech.  It had an automatic
  extractor.  It was not used by the military; it was sold only as a sporting carbine.

  Whitney Model 1861 Navy Rifle
       Notes: This rifle is often called the Plymouth Rifle because the Whitney 1861 was tested on the USS Plymouth for eventual general
  use by Union Navy sailors. The sailors were allowed a lot of latitude on modifying and improving the design as long as the basic
  design remained intact.  The Whitney 1861 therefore had a barrel length, sights, bayonet, and butt trap that had a lot of input from the
  actual naval personnel who would have to use it.  The result was a rifle that had a lot in common with the late Springfield designs, but
  was higher-caliber to tear sails and blast through wood planks to kill the enemy sailors behind them.  It had a relatively short 34-inch
  barrel so it would not be unwieldy on deck, and it had more stock to help keep it steady on a rolling deck.  It had two wide barrel
  bands, and a rear leaf sight and a front bead sight.  The ramrod had the interesting feature of being cupped to fit around a Minie Ball. 
  Metalwork is blued, and the stock is of Black Walnut.

  Whitney Model 1855-Derivative Rifle for Militia
       Notes: Produced only in small numbers for smaller state militia units, these rifles were essentially shortened versions of the
  Springfield 1855.  They used a 33-inch browned barrel with otherwise bright metal, and Black Walnut furniture.  They used a tangent-
  type rear sight with a block and blade front sight.  The lockwork was unmilled and could be a bit crude, and the "Militia Rifle" used the
  Maynard Tape Primer system.  It used a saber-type bayonet that fastened to a socket on the right side of the barrel.

  Whitworth Rifle
       Notes: The Whitworth Rifle was part of a design process to replace or upgrade the Pattern 1853 Enfield; this design process sort of
  presaged the modern design competition philosophy, and the Whitworth Rifle was one of those contenders. The Whitworth rifle was
  eventually cut from the competition by the British Army in 1857, though the British were able to sell the design in small numbers to the
  new French Army and the Confederate Army.  The Whitworth saw its last official military use by the Foreign Legion in 1861.  The
  Whitworth was an accurate rifle, but difficult to reload quickly.  Even skirmishers (the ancestors of today’s snipers), though they liked
  the Whitworth’s accuracy, did not appreciate the Whitworth’s reloading time, though they did appreciate the light weight vs. accuracy.
  However, shooters in the budding civilian competition shooting clubs of the time quickly snapped up the decommissioned Whitworths;
  they saw in the Whitworth a very accurate rifle, and in civilian competition, the long reloading times didn’t matter much.
       For Sir Joseph Whitworth, round barrels, even when rifled, were simply too long to produce the desired accuracy – some 800
  meters was desired, which was a very long range by the technology of the period.  Whitworth thought that a barrel with very “hard”
  rifling would produce better accuracy – and they did; skirmishers and sharpshooters were able to wring sometimes 1600 meters out of
  the Whitworth, which is approaching modern standards.  Whitworth achieved this by using a barrel with a twisting hexagonal shape, so
  that the matching hexagonal cross-sectional matching bullets couldn’t help but rotate with the rifling – and the rifling rate could be
  adjusted as necessary. (Whitworth standardized on a 1-20 twist, about twice that of an equivalent rifle of today.)
       The Confederates employed the Whitworth among their sharpshooters during the Civil War, where they were sometimes topped by
  some of the first riflescopes in history.  The US Civil War also supplied the death knell for the Whitworth – they were much more prone
  to fouling due to the tight and rigid rifling, and in the Whitworth’s barrel, this just made reloading longer; in a heavy battle, this could
  drop (in T2K terms) to a 1/12 or longer.  (The time in the charts below is with a clean bore.) The sharpshooter was essentially cleaning
  the bore of an already difficult-to-clean bore every time he reloaded, and in a badly fouled bore, the shooter was literally jamming the
  bullet, powder, and patch down the barrel with all his force.  This also changed the ballistics of each round fired, lowering effective
  range.
    (To simulate this effect, increase time to reload by one per eight consecutive shots taken without cleaning the bore.  Per eight
  consecutive shots, decrease short range below by two.)
    The range of a Whitworth, when everything was working right and topped with a scope, could be magnetic to Confederate
  sharpshooters.  One of the posters to Juhlin’s Forum had on his sig line the last words of Union General John Sedgwick, which were
  something like, “They couldn’t hit an elephant at this dis--” and was then shot below the right eye, it is believed, with a Whitworth rifle.
  (Five sharpshooters claimed the kill, but all had Whitworth rifles.)
       There were several barrel lengths available to Whitworth shooters – 33, 36, and 39 inches.  (The Confederates typically used 33-
  inch barrels.) Though the hexagonal bullet was the most common, a hollow round ball was also employed, which expanded into the
  hexagonal bore of the Whitworth. They were effective, but did not have the range or hitting power of the hexagonal bullet; they were
  easier to make. The shape of the hexagonal bullet created more striking power and penetration (in T2K terms).
       Modern reproductions are made by Parker Hale, Pedersoli, and Euro Arms; they have a greater standard of metalwork, but are
  otherwise faithful reproductions.  They are quite popular among Civil War reenactors, and in modern blackpowder target competitions,
  often hit targets at 600 meters or more.
