Best Answer

Most Union soldiers carried the muzzle loading, percussion cap, Springfield rifle. The Confederates used the Enfield, which was very similar. Later in the war, other rifles were employed, the breach loading Sharps, the seven-shot Spencer, and the Henry lever-action cartridge firing repeater.
