weapons recovered on the field

Each side was able to recover some weapons, both from their own fallen men and from those of their enemy, depending on who held possession of the field at the end of the day. Foreign smooth bore muskets are assumed to be of sufficiently poor quality that they are not being considered for re-issue. Of those weapons that could be re-issued, the following types were collected in a quantity of over 100 muskets per type, from the highest to lowest by weapon type:


  • Model 1855 Harper's Ferry Rifle
  • Model 1854 Austrian Lorenz Rifled Musket
  • Model 1853 British Enfield Rifled Musket
  • Maynard Carbine
  • Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle
  • Model 1842 Musket
  • Model 1861 Springfield Rifled Musket
Each side will receive a report of the number of weapons collected from the field with their month-end report.
