In 1811, the Hall rifle was a different type of weapon then most any of its kind. It was viewed as one step ahead of the normal musket of the time. The Hall was a single shot breech loading rifle that fired a round ball. As a breech loading weapon, it of course made ramming down a muzzle obsolete. The Hall could thus be fired three times as fast as a normal musket of the time.
