Weaponry used by the Texans was widely varied. The Kentucky or Jaeger

flintlock was surely present including some that had been converted to the

percussion firing system. More common would be the Brown Bess musket,

shotguns and even the blunderbuss. Calibres were as varied as weapons

were .36 up to .78 calibre. Artillery was very limited but included a few 18

pounders. Mexican forces were probably better armed and equipped, at

least the .76 calibre was standard throughout their forces. The musket for

most troops was the British 1820 India Pattern, a cheap model designed

for the export market. Artillery was plentiful and varied and the lancers

used by the Mexican Forces were a formidable threat.
