Weapons of the civil war?
There were many weapons used during the civil war. Many and most were guns such as rifels, Lmat revolvers, musket, carbine, grenades, gatling gun, and a revolver. Many of these weapons were very hard for newcomers, but the training would teach all the soldiers could know. Using such a dangerous weapon could sometimes pay off if you learned to load (gunpowder) and aim. They also used rocks and pebbles as well a wood if they did not have any weapons left. == ==

Depends on what type of weapon you are asking about.

The term can also be applied to warfare itself: Un-Conventional Warfare might be guerrilla warfare; Conventional warfare would be traditional Armies fighting against another Army.
What weapons were used by Irsh Republican Army during the Kilmichael and Crossbarry ambushes?
Can't find any specifics on it. Some weapons are mentioned, but not in great detail. Most likely, Enfield rifles and/or Mauser rifles were the primary weapons. Some mention of revolvers is made, and these would probably be Webley revolvers. Tom Barry's accounts of Kilmichael mentions that they used captured British weapons, so Enfields would definitely be involved. He makes no mention of any of the Mausers (which were widespread both among Republican and Loyalist factions), although that's not really definitive as to whether or not some were used.
