By the US Military, up thru the 1880s- although some repeater rifles were used in the mid 1860s. The last of the single shot rifles was the Springfield "trap door" rifle in 45-70. It was replaced by the bolt action Krag in 30-40 cailber.
the single shot rifle with bayonet
No one answer, since there was no one Sharps Rifle. Some were single shot and used metalic cartridges, some used paper or cloth cartridges.
A bayonet is a small knife - which can be fixed (by its handle) to the end of the barrel of a rifle - so the soldier still has an effective weapon if he runs out of bullets.
The value of a 1905 J Stevens 22 single shot rifle is between $100 and $500 depending on the condition. These rifles were commonly used for small game hunting and target practice.
A birdshot is a small lead shot, or ammunition, used in shotgun shells, or a rifle or pistol cartridge containing small shot instead of a single projectile.
I suspect this is a foreign firearm imported by that company. Unless it is some special target rifle, a 22 single shot is probably only going to bring $75 to $100 in used condition.
The blade on the rifle used by the Union Army during the Civil War is called a "bayonet." Specifically, many Union soldiers used the Springfield Model 1861 rifle, which could be fitted with a bayonet. This blade was primarily used for close combat situations when ammunition was scarce or in hand-to-hand fighting.
I own an original 1850 Springfield rifle used in the civil war! It has the bayonet as well on the end of the Rifle extending its length an extra 2 feet or so.
The rifle, the Machine gun, the bayonet, the shotgun, artillery and then aviation.
it's a bayonet, and was used during the Civil War to stab enemies
A bayonet is a thrusting weapon placed on the muzzle of a musket or rifle which turns the weapon into a spear.
A bayonet wound occures usually when an opposing combatant attaches a bayonet to his firearm and stabs you with it... a bayonet is a knife like device that can be attached to the barrel end of a fire arm (usually a rifle) so the rifle can be used like a spear.Bayonet wounds could be fatal or they could be a simple cut or a narrow penetrating wound. The British invented a bayonet with 4 blades that was shaped like a "+". This was intended to inflict a flesh wound that would have a corner cut. This type of cut is more difficult to sew-up and heal.
