Thats great, never seen a Burnside fire before. Did either hit the target at all?

@njmvermont Both fired a .52 caliber cartridge but most rifles in the Civil War were over 50 caliber, the regular Springfield or 1853 Enfield muzzle loader rifle fired a .58 caliber mini ball, so imagine thousands of those flying around. Also the smooth bore muskets fired a .69 caliber but was a inaccurate round musket ball.

I read about that in the book : " Misfire", which I recommend.

@Thx1138d There was a great deal of resistance to the Sharps from the Quartermaster Corps, who believed that a weapon with that rate of fire encouraged the troops to waste ammunition.
No, I am not making this up (g).

It is difficult for me to imagine the Union army didn't adopt at least the Sharps to be the universal weapon.

Did you ever find the barrel band on your Burnside ? You can see it fall off about the 2 minute mark.
