Also in Calif: blackpowder rifles and bp pistols isn't considered "a firearm" in Calif so you can order them online, or cash n carry if a gun store has them, and pwn as many as you like, even blackpowder revolvers . . . but post office won't ship powder (hazard / xplosiv shipping thang) . . . you have to roll to a gunshop that sells blackpowder to purchase.

Here (Argentina) they are also known as Rifles Tower or Mosquetes Tower because they had the word "tower" on the lockplate. They were also important in the independence of our country since our army could obtain them both through purchases and because they had been left as a war trophy after 2 attempted English invasions (1806 and 1807). In the 70s the Argentine military factory made a replica known as "Tower F.M." Greetings from Patagonia.

@svbarryduckworth628 29 дней назад

The colonists loved their modern sporting rifles of the time. A solid military rifle made an excellent hunting and defense gun because of the all qualities that made it a good military rifle were transferable to the needs these civilians had for their own rifles they kept at home. They needed and appreciated weapons of war for their personal rifles.

Actually, most colonists had rifles, not muskets. So in reality, the colonists were slightly better equipped than British regulars. At least insofar as their arms.

@kirkmooneyham 29 дней назад

@@212caboose, the rifles were very accurate comparatively speaking, but very slow to load. The infantry tactics of the day required mass shots at a rate not achievable with rifles. That is why the Continental Army and associated units mostly were equipped with muskets. However, there were quite a few American troops equipped with rifles that took out the enemy at longer ranges. That enraged the British and their hireling mercenaries as "against the rules of war", but it sure was effective. Armies of the day were even less effective without officers and NCOs than armies today because proper order and drill were critical to the tactics, and lower ranks were not trained, nor allowed, to issue those commands.

America’s first flintlock was the Springfield copied from the Charleville. The brown Bess was from England. The colonists had them too. A good Springfield armory collection starts with a Charleville musket . It was their prototype. France wanted us to beat England so they helped us out .

Often confused, the Smooth Bore Musket, this case Brown Bess, and particular to English Field Doctrine, the rifle "firing" is not the primary means of lethal, combat engagement. The musket was good for only a few shots, in most cases distance less than yards with the actual use of the rifle was to support/attach the bayonet for close quarters engagement, hence the bayonet charge to break the will, line, and moral of the opposing combatants......
