Civil War Weapons: Antique Rifles and Guns
At the beginning of the Civil War, firearms of all types were in short supply. Many early volunteers were issued antiquated, imported, and nearly obsolete weapons as both sides strained to meet the demand for arms. Eventually, however, a few quality types were obtained in large numbers and became standard issue to the soldiers of both armies.
INFANTRY
The basic weapon of an infantry soldier was the single-shot, muzzle-loading percussion musket. Foremost among these was the Springfield, manufactured at the U.S. Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts, and at other locations. All were generically referred to as "Springfields" by the troops. By the end of the war, total production approached 1.5 million weapons. The Springfield had a 39 inch long rifled barrel, and could fire a .58 caliber bullet effectively at targets 500 yards distant. After the Confederate capture of the Federal armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia (later West Virginia), more than 64,000 Confederate copies were produced.
A close competitor to the Springfield, and the best of the foreign-made weapons, was the British Enfield. These were imported by both North and South in numbers exceeding 800,000. The Enfield fired bullets of .577 caliber the same distance as a Springfield, and the ammunition was interchangeable between the two. Externally, there were few differences.
Nevertheless, some officers felt a decided bias against the Enfield. "They are rough, and tear the men's hands to pieces when going through the manual (of arms)" one officer complained. Ordnance officers noted that the hand-finished parts of an Enfield did not interchange, as did those of a machine-made Springfield. Col. Joshua Chamberlain, commanding the 20th Maine regiment, noted the number of abandoned Springfields around his position on Little Round Top after the fighting there on 2 July, 1863, and instructed his men still using Enfields to exchange them for Springfields.

Frequently Asked Questions...
what infantry really goes in war first army rangers or marines?
i dont understand because the rangers motto is rangers lead the way but people always say rangers go first...but how is that if the rangers were in afcanastan first and then they left and the marines lost it now were back to step one.
Answer:
usually depends on the task..but most of the time it is the army's airborne units like rangers,sf,and the 82nd. contrary to popular belief marines are hardly ever first in any war. they go in about the same time the regular army goes in.
us army airborne units are usually the first boots on ground due to the fact they are deploy able anywhere in the world in as little as 18hrs. this is what happened in Haiti after the earth quake the us needed a quick response and had to send in the airborne for relief help. they ended up getting there days before marines could arrive.
and the marines did not lose afghanistan..and the rangers never left. both army and marines have always had troops in afghanistan since the war started even till now. but since the iraq war the main focus was in iraq instead of afghanistan. not only that but there is also nato soldiers in afghanistan.
