  • Rules and Options

    Rules and Options

    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

    Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles

    Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles Dean S. Thomas According to the "Statement of ordnance and ordnance stores purchased by the Ordnance Department from January 1, 1861, to June 30, 1866," the United States Army procured more than 427,000 assorted breechloading carbines and rifles during this period.' Additional quantities were purchased from the manufacturers by various Northern states, volunteer regiments, and individual soldiers. In all, more than twenty different brands found their way onto regimental ordnance returns, and each, with rare exception, required their own peculiar form of ammunition. Captain James G. Benton of the Ordnance Department described these weapons in his book, Ordnance and Gunney: The term "breech-loading" applies to those arms in which the charge is inserted into the bore through an opening in the pered by gas leakage at the breech joint-or lack of obtura- breech; and, as far as loading is concerned, the ramrod is tion. This fault was mechanically inherent in many early dispensed with. breechloaders, but was not successfully overcome until there The interior of the barrel of a breech-loading arm is were advances in cartridge-making technology. Although the divided into two distinct parts, viz., the bore proper, or space Hall breechloading flintlock rifle was adopted by the United through which the projectile moves under the influence of the States in 1819 (and a carbine in the 1830s), they did not have powder; and the chamber in which the charge is deposited. the merits of later weapons with metallic cartridge cases. The diameter of the chamber is usually made a little larger, and Most of the early advances in breechloading ammuni- that of the bore a little smaller, than that of the projectile; this tion were made in France.

It also provides instruction on proper maintenance, inspection, and repair procedures. This manual must be used in conjunction with the service wide standards for Historic Weapons Firing Demonstrations (NPS-6 Guidelines for Interpretation). The information below largely comes from primary sources of the period during which the weapons described were used. Several generations of NPS historic weapons personnel have modifi ed these original texts in order to improve demonstrator and visitor safety, make the original texts more comprehensible and to incorporate knowledge gained from years of actually using these weapons in the fi eld. The Park’s Certifi ed Historic Weapons Program Supervisor is responsible for the training and safety of the demonstrators, as well as the safety of the visitors. The following criteria will help determine when a demonstrator has been adequately trained. 1 THE SHARPS CARBINE This manual mainly deals with the use and care of reproduction Model 1859 and Model 1863 Sharps carbines, which were the predominant carbine used during the American Civil War and are by far the most popular reprodction cavalry arm used today.

  • P11 Burnside

    P11 Burnside

    .54” BURNSIDE CARBINE The Burnside was a breech-loading carbine that saw widespread use during the American Civil War. The carbine was designed about 1855 and patented by Ambrose Burnside, who was treasurer of the pre-war Bristol Firearms Company, of Bristol Rhode Island, and who resigned his commission in the U.S. Army to devote himself full time to working on the weapon. Over 100,000 (progressive of 5 improvements) were made by the Bristol Firearms or Burnside Rifle companies between 1858 and 1870. In 1857, the Burnside carbine won a competition at West Point against 17 other carbine designs. In spite of this, few of the carbines were immediately ordered The familiar lubrication belt at the mouth was an by the government, but this changed with the improvement under the George Foster patent #27791 outbreak of the Civil War, when over 55,000 were of April 10, 1860 and 21,819,200 of these were ordered for use by Union cavalrymen. This made it purchased by the Ordnance Department during the the third most common carbine of the Civil War; civil war. only the Sharps carbine and the Spencer carbine were more widely used. They saw action in all theatres of the war. Five different models were produced, but The organisational issues that plagued Burnside after toward the end of the Civil War, production was he became a General in the Federal Army did not discontinued when the Burnside Rifle Company was begin with warfare.
