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.

Blackpowder Pistols

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.

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 Cabelas, 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 Harpers Ferry Rifle

Notes: this is a modern reproduction of the old Harpers Ferry Rifle, and is sold today through a number of outlets such as Dixie
Gun Works and Navy Arms. The Harpers 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 Harpers Ferry Rifle is designed to fire rifled balls (this is in
the stats below).

1855 British Pattern Sharps

Notes: In the mid-19 th 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 Taylors. 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.

1861 Springfield
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 Taylors. As such, the furniture is walnut;
however, in a bow to modern manufacturing methods, the steel used in this reproductions 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.

1863 Remington Zouave

Notes: Another reproduction of a common Civil War weapon, this weapon is a musket and does not have a rifled barrel. Like
many other such reproductions, it is sold by Dixie Gun Works, Navy Arms, and Taylors. 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 blade front. Ignition is by percussion.

1863 Sharps
Notes: This is a reproduction of another common late-Civil War weapon, today sold by EMF, IAR, and Taylors. 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 Taylors.

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.

Notes: A smaller-caliber and much lighter version of the Model 1849, these rifles were referred to as Lorenz Rifles after their

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.

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. Bakers 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 Cumberlands 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.

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

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.
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, lets 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 weapons
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.

British Pattern 1853 Rifle-Musket

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 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 Armys 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 didnt 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 1 st Model. The
2 nd 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 3 rd 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 3 rd Model is identical to 2 nd Model. The 4 th Model features a spring-loaded breech which again simplifies and quickens
reloading. This was the definitive version, with 50,000 being built and issued.

Cabalas Kentucky Rifle

Notes: Like most of the blackpowder rifles and muskets sold by Cabelas, 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 Starters Kit, as it is
meant to be a beginners blackpowder rifle; this includes a basic cleaning kit, a small amount of powder and shot, and spare flints
or percussion caps. Flintlock and percussion cap ignition systems are available. The barrel is 37 inches.

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 where 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.

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 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 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.

Gibbs African Hunter

Notes: This is a hunting version of the old Gibbs Hunting Rifle, designed for hunting big game (in a day where metallic
cartridges 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.

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.

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 Cabelas.

Jenks Breechloading Rifle
Notes: the Jenks Rifle was produced for the US Navy by NP Aames; 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.

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,
due to the technological limitations of the time, was longer than the barrel itself. Controls for the scope are at the rear, near the
shooters 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 rifles 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.

JP Murray Carbine
Notes: The original JP Murray carbines were built by Murrays facility; much of Murrays 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 its 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.

Kentucky Rifle
Notes: I dont know of any history major, history buff, or military weapon buff who hasnt 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 19 th century,
and reports of its use into the early 20 th 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 shooters 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 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, Taylors, and traditions.

Knight Elite Disc Rifle

Ill fully admit I dont 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.

Notes: This is another blackpowder weapon, almost a blackpowder carbine with its short 22 barrel. The Wolverine is an inline

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.

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 both barrels (and massive kick and shoulder bruises). Most of the weapon mad 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.

This is for the most an old early 18 th -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

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 Im 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 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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 Officers Model has a checkered pistol grip wrist and
fore-end and a curved buttplate.

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

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 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.

Spencer Army Rifle

Notes: Often referred to as the Spencer Repeating Carbine, 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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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 todays snipers),
though they liked the Whitworths accuracy, did not appreciate the Whitworths 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
didnt 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 couldnt 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 Whitworths 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 Juhlins Forum had on his sig line the last words of Union General John Sedgwick, which
were something like, They couldnt 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.
