	Ambrose Burnside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1852 he was appointed to the command of Fort Adams, Newport, Rhode Island, and while there he married Mary Bishop of Providence, Rhode Island.
		In 1853 he resigned his commission in the Regular Army, although maintaining a position in the state militia, and devoted his time and energy to the manufacture of the famous rifle that bears his name, the Burnside Breechloading Carbine.
		The Secretary of War under President James Buchanan, John B. Floyd, contracted with the Burnside Arms Company to equip a large portion of the army with his carbine, and induced him to establish extensive factories for its manufacture.

		Breechloading rifles existed in the 1830s, and Union soldiers used them during the Civil War, accelerating their development and popularity after the war.
		Before the 1870s, nearly all breechloading shotguns were produced by European gunsmiths and priced beyond the reach of the average American sportsman.
		Just as there is no definitive answer as to who made the first breechloading shotgun, the first maker of paper shotshells with brass bases has long been debated.

		The rate of fire of a breechloader was not significantly greater than than that of muzzle-loading artillery.

	58 Springfield Rifle Musket
		Immediately after the War when supply was no longer a consideration, the Army quickly switched to a breechloading rifle to the unpleasant surprise of the (American Native) Indians.
		Various methods and inventions were used to convert the common muzzle loading musket to breechloader.
		For all these methods of converting musket to breechloaders, the resulting products were as long and heavy as the predecessors and it was frugal to use the same bayonets.

	Cannon
		The smoothbore cannon, first appearing in the early 14th century in Europe, assumed its classic form at the beginning of the 17th century, which persisted unchanged to the mid-19th century, when it was superseded by the breechloading rifled gun.
		Since it was difficult to load a rifled gun from the muzzle, breechloading rifles were a possible alternative.
		The Armstrong breechloading rifles on the deck would have been quite sufficient armament, since they outranged all other naval guns, and were devastatingly effective.

		HISTORY records that on June 1, 1776, at Woolwich, England, Maj. Patrick Ferguson, of the British Army, demonstrated his newly devised breechloading flintrock rifle to the astonishment of all beholders.
		Ferguson developed his rifle from two earlier types of breechloaders, the Hardley and the Foster, upon which it was an actual improvement, and his gun has the distinction of being the first breechloading arm used by organized troops of any nation.
		The piece is equipped with a breechplug which passes perpendicularly through the breech of the barrel and this, having a quick-traveling screw thread, is lowered or raised by a single revolution of the trigger guard acting as a lever.

		In his Preface author Dean S. Thomas states, “You do not know your Civil War gun unless you know and understand its ammunition!” This book then proceeds to detail the ammunition that was produced for 24 federal breechloading carbines and rifles purchased or ordered by the Ordnance Department during the war.
		The book is also a history of Civil War arms and ammunition technology, and will take it rightful place in that field.
		Kudos to Thomas and his staff for a most enjoyable trip through the subject of federal Civil War breechloading ammunition.

		The new weapons had appeared so suddenly that commanders did not immediately realize that they needed to compensate for the increased range and accuracy of rifles.
		The Civil War was the first war in which soldiers used repeating rifles (which could fire several shots without reloading), breechloading arms (which were loaded from behind the barrel instead of through the muzzle), and automated weapons like the Gatling gun.
		The Civil War also marked the first use by Americans of shrapnel, booby traps, and land mines.
