Evolution Of Civil War Antique Rifles
Then again, whenever I meet younger folks they always want to see my antique weapons of the Civil War. These Civil War antiques are interesting from a technological standpoint because they show the beginning of modern weaponry. Antique Civil War weapons from the beginning of the conflict are pretty primitive. They are usually single shot, powder and ball affairs that are innacurrate and dangerously time-consuming to load. Civil war antiques from later in the period, however, show a remarkable transformation. The guns go from muzzle loading single shot rifles to sophisticated repeater action revolvers and even early machine guns.
