All small arms, weapons became smaller than a cannon and carried out by a soldier known as a small arm. During the Civil War, including small arms muskets, with smooth, long-barreled were shoulder arms, rifles, pistols shoulder with spiral grooves in the inner surface of the barrel cut; carbines, short-barreled rifles and small arms, including pistols and revolvers. Such as artillery, small arms were also of their caliber, type of loading (breech or muzzle) and producer named. The most important small arms on both sides were the 8 .5 caliber Springfield musket and the .69 caliber Harpers Ferry Rifle, both arms, the muzzle Ball fired the fatal mini. The introduction of these solid pieces forced a radical change in infantry tactics, which was based on the use of shorter Range, less accurate smooth musket to the Civil War. Smooth muskets, firing lines could even 100 meters away from each other not inflict much damage each other. For an attack to be successful, soldiers were ground together and forced to run directly into their enemies. The civil war musket drawn, with its greater accuracy and greater Range, could kill at a distance of over half a mile, so that a direct, frontal assault a particularly deadly affair. One of the largest small arms Controversy during the war involved the debate on breech and muzzle. Because breech could fire faster, they created a need for more ammunition, which neither the army had great offer. Breech were primarily used by the cavalry: One of the most effective was the recently invented Spencer carbine. The Spencer carbines seven .52 caliber cartridges was held, easy to use and lightweight. More important were the shoulder arms Henry repeating rifle, the 15 rounds of .44 caliber cartridges in his Magazine conducted, and the Sharps carbine. Hundreds of thousands of revolvers of different makes and models were used by soldiers of the Confederacy and the Union. was by far the most common of the Colt revolver, primarily the .44 caliber Model 1860 and Model 1851 Navy .36 caliber, both of which were mild (less than three pounds). The Remington New Model Army Percussion Revolver and Starr were also purchased in large numbers or both. As in artillery, North enjoyed an overwhelming advantage over the South with small arms. For much of the war, the Confederacy depended on smuggled imports by the increasingly effective naval blockade. Several different foreign models in particular from France and England, were introduced by the Confederate Army, and some were famous for the generals, who uses them. The French Culty revolver, for instance, was favored by Confederate generals Jeb Stuart and PGT Beauregard. Developed by a French-born New Orleans doctor, the caliber .44 produced in France, where the Confederates not the machines or metal supply at home. The English-Enfield rifle that fired a .557 caliber, was another important Imports, about 700,000 were used by Confederates during the war.
