Best Answer

It used a metallic cartridge, rather than powder, a ball, a ramrod, and a percussion cap. This allowed for much faster reloading.

Also, since it loaded at the breech, the firer was not required to stand up (and make themselves a very exposed target) in order to reload.

Were would the sharps go for a d major?

The sharps for a D Major scale are F# and C#. A good way to remember which order the sharps go in is to remember the acronym Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle (FCGDAEB). D Major has two sharps, so the sharps must be the first two--F# and C#. If you happen to know the sharps and not the key, simply add a half step to the very last sharp in the key signature. The last sharp in D Major is C#, and one half step above is D; therefore, the key with two sharps is D Major.
