∙ 11y agoThe 1800s covers a span of 100 yrs, and the types of firearms will depend on WHEN in that 100 yrs. In 1800, they were still using flintlock muskets. By 1899, they were using bolt action and semiautomatic rifles, along with machine guns, semi-auto pistols, etc.

∙ 12y agoYour question covers a span of 100 years, during which, there was a great advance in the design and manufacture of weapons- especially firearms.
In the year 1800, rifles were typically still flintlock muzzleloading firearms. These would be replaced within a few years by the caplock firearm, and in the mid 1860s, would see those replaced with arms firing a metallic cartridge. By the 1890s, the machine gun and semiautomatic rifle had come in to use. The revolver, from the first half of the 1800s, were being challenged by the auto loading pistol.

The 1800's covers a lot of time- 100 years- and saw guns go from flintlocks in 1800 to machine guns in 1899- that is a LOT of change! The biggest change over the 1800s has been the use of better materials, and the use of Smokeless Powder (which started in the very late 1800s). The self contained cartridge appeared in the mid-1800s, and is still used today. New cartridge designs in the 1900s (and in the 2000s) increased the range, accuracy, and effectiveness of firearms.
