Weapons in the revolutionary war By Conner

Types of weapons I will talk about Musket Pistol Cannon Rifle Submirine

muskets Here are the 12 steps to fire a musket 1. Bite down on the paper cartridge and tear it open with your teeth 2. Push the striker (called a frissen) forward and pour a small amount of powder into the flash pan 3. Push the frissen back into position to cover the flash pan. 4.Hold the musket with the muzzle pointing up 5. Pour the rest of the powder into the barrel from the muzzle. 6. Insert a lead ball into the barrel. 7. Push the cartridge paper into the barrel (called the "wadding"). 8.Remove the ramrod from its storage pipe beneath the barrel and use it to push the wadding and the ball down the barrel.9. Replace the ramrod in the storage pipe. 10. Raise the musket to a firing position, bracing the butt against the shoulder. 11. Pull back the hammer. 12. Aim and fire.

cannons You already know that cannons were used in the revolutionary war Each cannon haad up to 7 to 14 men! Each of these men had a special job to help oporate the cannon Tasks ranged from calculating the proper elevation for the cannon to lighting the fuse when ready to fire.

submarines They didnt call submarines what tthey are called now they called them turtles Inventor David Bushnell thought he might be able to help even the score with his submersible craft. Enter the Turtle, a pedal-powered vessel that could submerge itself by flooding water into a tank, and then hand-pump the water out when it was time to surface. What a great idea!

pistol The pistol was used if you had lost your primary wepon, so this was basicly your secondary wepon. Tasks ranged from calculating the proper elevation for the cannon to lighting the fuse when ready to fire.

Rifles Rifles were not the first choice for soldiers fighting in the Revolutionary War. While they were much more accurate than muskets – all thanks to the twisted grooves, or rifling, inside the barrel that literally makes a rifle a rifle – rifles took a long time to load.
