Guns

GUNS Rifles: the rifles at the beginning of the war were single shot muzzle load meaning loaded from top of the barrel. Compared to modern rifles this is a slow and none effective way of shoting. modern rifles have magazine which hold multiple shots. In 1864 the U.S. came up with the first repeating rifle and bullet with shell that holds the powder. The rifle has a magazine tube in the stoock with a spring to push the bullets into the barrel. This was a big advancement in this time.
