Smooth bore Muskets of the 1700’s Came in various bore diameters, from the French Charleville and early US military muskets at .69 calibers, to the British Brown Bess of nominal .75 calibers. The smooth-bore musket is accurate to maybe 50 yards when aimed. A round ball fired from a smooth barrel is fairly unstable and just not very accurate. Hitting a target over 50 or so yards becomes as much a matter of luck as skill.  

One of the most accurate artillery pieces in the Civil War was the Parrot Rifle. A former Army captain and West Point graduate named Robert Parker Parrott patented the process that allowed the production of this rifle in 1861.

The .36 Caliber Colt 1851 Navy Revolver is a cap and ball revolver designed by Samuel Colt. It was designed in 1847 and was produced until 1873 at which time fixed metallic cartridges were introduced.  An estimated 250,000 Navy Revolvers were produced. The Colt Navy Revolver was an ideal size handgun for weight, balance and accuracy. 

The difference between a Rifle and Carbine is the length of the barrel. The longer the barrel the greater was the accuracy. The Civil War is called the "first modern war" for many reasons; one of these reasons is because of breech-loading rifles.  Breech-loading rifles loaded their bullets at the back of the gun.   Using a breech-loading gun, ammunition could be loaded much faster and shots could be fired at the enemy much quicker. In addition, these rifles could have multiple bullets loaded into them at one time .

Flintlock muskets were the mainstay of European armies between 1660 and 1840.  A musket was a muzzle-loading smoothbore long gun that was loaded with a round lead ball  or a mixture of ball with several large shot (called buck and ball), and had an effective range of about 120 to 130 yards.  The beginning of the Mexican War coincided with a shift in the from the flintlock firing system to the much more reliable percussion cap ignition system.  Flintlock muskets were temperamental weapons and often failed to discharge
