Guns back then were actually larger caliber than the ones we have today-.50 caliber back then was small. Their guns were loaded from the muzzle until the mid 1800's. They were also longer and definitely none were full auto. They took a long time to load, about 3 rounds per minute. Today the M16 fires at 900 rounds per minute. they also used black powder and their bullets and powder were loaded separately and forced down with a ramrod. Today our bullets and powder come together with a shell casing.
