The Lakota and their Cheyenne allies had numerical superiority over the 7th Cavalry, and they were better armed with Henry and Winchester rifles compared to the short-ranged and single-shot Springfield cavalry carbines which jammed easily on the cheap copper-case ammo that the 7th was issued with to save federal tax money. Also, the 7th had been required to turn in their sabers, leaving them only with their Colt pistols against an enemy that was better armed, more numerous, and tired of being abused. It also did not help that Custer, in his desire to win the battle and hog all the glory for himself, divided the 7th into thirds, attempting to do with a single regiment what should have required a much larger force.
