18th century Assault Rifle

The most commonly used firearm during the Revolutionary War was the muzzle-loaded musket. The musket was the primary weapon for thousands of British and Continental Army soldiers. Revolutionary War muskets were commonly equipped with bayonets, which were useful against cavalry and in close combat. America's ability to arm its force with flintlock muskets as they mobilized was a critical challenge early in the war.

The BAR?

I didn't see it mentioned so I thought I'd make my humble submission: 1917 Eddystone w/bayo.
I'm still learning about it but the folks on this forum have been a great help.

The bayonet should be delivered tomorrow, the rifle arrived today.

Main Battle Rifles are not complete without bayonets!

1861 Springfield

The 1861 Springfield was the most widely used U.S. Army weapon during the Civil War, favored for its range, accuracy, and reliability.

The Springfield had an effective range of 200 to 300 yards, and used percussion caps to fire. Trained troops were able to fire at a rate of three rounds per minute while maintaining accuracy up to 500 yards, though firing distances in the war were often much shorter.
