The Brown Bess Musket was still in use by the vast majority of the Mexican Army. Their artillery was heavy (primarilly classed as siege weapons) and lacked the horse drawn mobility (limber and caisson) favored by the US Flying Artillery Units that practiced "Shoot and Scoot" tactics to prevent heavy losses to counter battery fire.
Dragoons were not only highly effective, thet were the shock troops of the era and could be called on to "open a hole"when needed. They were feared. A load of double grape by flying artillery could dismount a full squadron, and a lancer without a mount was easy prey.
