Apparently not, the first recorded use of the Gatling Gun in combat is at the siege of Petersburg a year later.
Not really. The current hand grenade had not been invented. There WERE "grenades" of a sort- large metal balls filled with gunpowder, with a burning fuse- but they were rarely used.
Gettysburg was the site of the most famous battle of the US Civil War. General Lee of the Confederacy wanted Northerners to know that the Civil War was not only going to be fought onSouthern soil. On June 16, 1863,Lee led the Army of Northern Virginia across the Potomac River with the intent of reaching Harrisburg, Pa. the capital of Pennsylvania. It was a pure accident that the Union and Confederate armies would fight at Gettysburg. Lee had forced Union general Meade to Gettysburg. On July2, 1863 the battle was engaged. Each side had heavy losses however in the end the Union forces prevailed and Lee was forced to retreat back to Virginia.

It depends on the context. If it is part of a proper noun like "Battle of Gettysburg," it is capitalized. If it is used as a common noun, like "They had a battle," it is not capitalized.
A lot.

There are several cemeteries in Gettysburg. The most famous is the one that was established after the great Civil War battle there and was used to bury the white Union dead. Confederate dead and black union soldiers were buried elsewhere.

The vast majority of weapons at Gettysburg were muzzle loading percussion cap rifles. The artillery was rifled, muzzle loading, lanyard fired cannon. The Union cavalry used breech loading Sharps carbines, for the most part.
I don't believe there would be any problem. +p ammo should not be used too much in light weapons such as the S&W model 36, 37 and others
