Hey everyone,
If you were defending a fixed position, what would be the most effective firearm for the defenders?
1) Breechloading carbine
2) Traditional Enfield/Springfield rifle
3) Smoothbore buck and ball
Would you give up range and power for the ease of loading from less exposed positions of the breechloader? Would you give up range and accuracy for the shotgun effect of thousands of smoothbores and turn the whole field into small arm cannister? Is the traditional rifle still the best man for the job?
