  • John Dahlgren the Plymouth Rifle
    JOHN DAHLGREN And THE PLYMOUTH RIFLE Marc Gorelick, VGCA The author thanks Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal (www.collegehillarsenal.com) and Cliff Sophia of CS Arms (www.csarms.com) for the use of their photographs. Few Americans today know who John Dahlgren was, or the role he played in the Civil War. Most Civil War and navy history buffs who recognize his name identify him as a Union Admiral and ordnance expert who developed a number of naval cannon. Indeed, for his achievements in developing naval cannon he became known as the “father of American naval ordnance.” But to the gun collecting community Dahlgren was also a small arms expert and the inventor of the unique Plymouth Rifle. Photo courtesy Tim Prince, College Hill Arsenal, www.collegehillarsenal.com DAHLGREN’S NAVY CAREER John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren was born on November 13, 1809 in Philadelphia, the son of Bernhard Ulrik Dahlgren, the Swedish Consul in Philadelphia. Like another Swedish-American, John Ericsson, the inventor of the screw propeller, turret and ironclad monitor, Dahlgren was to have a profound effect on the U.S. Navy. Dahlgren joined the United States Navy in 1826 as a midshipman. He served in the U.S. Coastal Survey from 1834 to 1837 where he developed his talents for mathematics and scientific theory. He was promoted to lieutenant, and after a number of cruises was assigned as an ordnance officer at the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Dahlgren was in his element as an ordnance officer. He excelled as a brilliant engineer and was soon given more and more responsibility.

  • Deadlands Armory
    Rifles Part I. Muzzles, Muskets & Minié Balls Loading a Flintlock Rifle For the first part of the nineteenth century, professional armies fought with the same smooth- bore flintlock muskets as their fathers and grandfathers. It generally takes an experienced soldier between twenty and thirty seconds to properly load a flintlock musket. First, the user has to unseal his pre-measured cartridge of gunpowder, which is usually contained in a paper or linen packet which is bitten open. (Because of the salty nature of gunpowder, this builds up a terrible thirst over the course of a battle, making potable water an essential part of any armed conflict.) Once the gunpowder is poured into the muzzle, the shooter inserts the lead ball, which is encased in a lubricated bit of cloth called “wadding.” Pulling the ramrod from its forestock slot, the shooter tamps the ball home, ensuring firm contact with the propellant charge. The ramrod is then returned to the forestock—unless a panicked soldier leaves it inside the barrel, to be fired along with the bullet! To fire the musket, the hammer is pulled to half-cock. A small pinch of gunpowder is placed in the “priming pan” located on the right side of the musket. The pan is closed to secure the primer, which brings a metal flange called the “frizzen” into striking position in front of the hammer. The hammer is fully cocked, the musket is aimed, and the trigger is pulled. The hammer dashes the flint against the frizzen, simultaneously creating a spark and pushing open the pan to expose the primer.

Robertson, Jr., Chairman History (ABSTRACT) This thesis is a military biography of Benjamin Huger. His reputation before the Civil War was that of a distinguished and highly competent ordnance officer. Huger’s brief and disappointing tenure as a Confederate division commander profoundly changed this. Students and historians of the Civil War remember him only as the one who let General George B. McClelland’s army escape certain destruction during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign. The scope of this study is limited to Huger’s life prior to his resignation from the U.S. Army. It begins with a brief discussion of his family, the influential Hugers of South Carolina. Huger’s father, Francis Kinloch Huger, receives special attention as one who had a major impact on his son’s life. He taught young Huger the importance of personal integrity, self-reliance, and the value of a scientific education. These factors accounted for much of Huger’s success as an officer in America’s antebellum Army. Huger’s professional growth occurred during a time of great technological change.

  • Deadlands Armory
    Rifles Part II. Breech-Loading and Metal Cartridges Breechloaders Since the dawn of black powder, gunmakers have explored ways of loading firearms from the opposite—and significantly closer!—end of the barrel. Hinged breeches, loading gates, and detachable chambers date back to the matchlock period, and even Henry VIII owned a few guns loaded in a manner not unlike a “Trapdoor” Springfield. However, such experimental firearms were prohibitively expensive, and never achieved anything more than novelty status among the wealthy. It was not until the nineteenth century that improvements in engineering techniques and ammunition types made breech-loading firearms a viable alternative to muzzle-loaders. A New Age In the early1860s, breech-loading firearms finally began to supplant muzzle-loaders. While the difference may appear minor—the rifle is loaded from the rear of the barrel, rather than the muzzle—the implications are enormous. Faster to reload, requiring less auxiliary equipment, and easier to clean, breech-loading rifles could achieve significantly higher rates of fire—up to ten rounds a minute in the hands of an experience shooter! They can also be reloaded from a prone or sitting position. The trade-off comes with an increase in complexity, as breech-loaders require some form of mechanical “action” to open the breech, expose the chamber, and reseal the breech. Most breech-loaders are classified by the system used to accomplish this process, which usually involves the movements of the “breechblock,” the metal component which physically seals the breech-end of the barrel and permits the rifle to be fired safely.
