Why did the Romans use the daggers?
The Romans used daggers because they were the small weapons of the time. For example, a soldier had his gladius, (sword) comparable to a rifle, and he had his pugio, (dagger) comparable to a pistol or sidearm. Civilians used daggers for the same reasons that people today use handguns.

My turn to use the musket today, Reb. Seriously, both sides had basically the same weapons, but the North had more and better ones.

What is the difference between a musket and a muzzle loader?

What are the three main parts of a rifle and how do they function?
Ever hear the expression- "Lock, stock, and barrel"- meaning the whole thing? Originally, those were the main parts of a musket- later, a rifle. The lock is the firing part- today it might be called the action. The stock is the part you hold, and brace against your shoulder. The barrel contains the cartridge, and guides the bullet as it leaves the rifle.
