This is what I mean “These volleys of musketry we were approaching sounded in the distance like the rapid pouring of shot upon a tin pan, or the tearing of heavy canvas, with slight pauses interspersed with single shots, or desultory shooting.”
Frederick L. Hitchcock of the 132 PA describes the approach to the battlefield
Now for a real civil war battle it will sound more like this since in this video they are all live fireing .
that sound there is a lot like paper just being shot from smokeless powder rifles... but also very random overly spaced shots.

like the idea tho for skirms or Cav!!!
