Muzzle loading guns must be loaded in parts though the end of the barrel. The method of igniting the gunpowder in a muzzle loader is different than modern guns in that it uses a primer cap or pan instead of hitting primer inside of a bullet shell.

What are the similarities between guns in the civil and guns in war now?
Guns in the Civil War definitely show similarities to firearms used by our military today. Before the war started, there was a rush to create reliable and functional "repeating" firearms, the definition of which is a firearm that does not need to be relaoded after every round is fired. One of the first truly successful repeating firearms was the Henry 1860, a lever action rife that fired a 44. caliber round packed in a self-contained metallic rimfire cartridge. The Civil war was also the first American war where some of the firearms used metal cartridge casings, which were a newly developed for of ammunition at the time. guns such as the Sharps Buffalo rifles and other rifles used metal cartridge ammo, but the Civil war also saw the use of large caliber muzzle loaders. muzzle loaders are not used in the military today, because they are single shot, and have less penetrating power than the guns that use brass cartridge ammo. The muzzle loaders did fire enormous lead bullets that were devistating in battle, but since the shooter was limited to one shot before reloading, they were quite outmatched by the repeating firearms. Revolvers in the Civil War are quite similar to the ones used today. The introduction of the revolver marked the first of the repeating firearms. However, during the Civil War, you had twist the cilinder on your revolver so that it would have spring power to crank it with each pull of the trigger. All in all the main similarities between firearms in the Civil War and firearms used by the military today are found in calibers and catriges, which are vastly similar.

How are pioneer guns different from modern guns?
Nearly all firearms before the mid 1800's were single shot muzzle loaders. For each shot, the shooter had to measure and load powder, patch and ball from the muzzle end of the gun. The charge was ignited by various means including touching it with a burning coal (matchlock) or striking a spark with flint and steel (wheel lock and flintlock). Sometimes guns (especially shotguns) had multiple barrels to get a quick second shot, but after the last shot, the shooter had to go through the same, slow muzzle loading sequence to reload the gun. Other later guns had revolving cylinders that were loaded in a similar way. The invention of the metallic cartridge which contained a pre-measured powder charge, the bullet and a primer to ignite the powder enabled inventors to develop repeating firearms. This occurred in the middle of the 19th century.

What are the guns of the 1800s?
The main guns were bolt action rifles and pistol wise revolvers pretty basic stuff both of which weren't always reliable. MistroJoe <><><> For the early part of the 1800s, firearms were muzzle loading rifles, shotguns, and pistols. The percussion cap was still replacing the flintlock, and the revolver had not yet been invented. By the late 1800s, cartridge firearms had replaced muzzle loaders, and rifles might be bolt action, pump, lever action, or semi auto (Mexico had a semi auto military rifle in the 1890s). Handguns were usually revolvers or derringers, but some early auto loading pistols were on the market. The double barreled shotgun was still king, but was starting to be replaced by pump or lever action shotguns.
