Rifle
Sharps Carbine M1859
- Max effective range
- 800 yd
- Length
- 39.19 in
- Ammunition
- .54" Minié Ball
The Sharps carbine was the preferred firearm for mounted troops due to its shorter length and lighter weight compared to the full-length rifle. Like the rifle variant, it used a breech-loading mechanism that made reloading on horseback far easier than with muzzle-loading weapons. The carbine was chambered for the same paper cartridge system, giving cavalry units a significant advantage in rate of fire.
