There was no noticable weapons changes in the American Revolutionary War. Same old muskets, same old massed formations on the battlefields, same old bright colored uniforms, and same ole muzzle loading cannons..

Percussion cap ignited muskets would enter the scene with the Mexican War of 1846.

Repeating metallic cartridge firing rifles would enter the scene in the US Civil War in 1861.

Smokeless gunpowder would enter the history books with the Americans in the Spanish- American War of '98 with the vaunted 30-40 Krag bolt action rifle.
