Many sharpshooters during the war used standard weapons of the day like the Springfield or Enfield. Also, many sharphooters weren't part of official sharpshooter units, they were just men who had good shooting skills and would act as sharpshooters when needed.
Point is you can't really limit sharpshooters because anyone can decide to act as a sharpshooter, the unit and weapon don't matter.
