    Something like those may be an option, but having them limited would be a good idea.
    Those that are shown there Pinckney are certainly almost exactly like what they would have had at the time, though with a few changes to the material!
    However, it is still not good for trying to load in the battlefield, and it would still take too long and lead to chain fires if you didn't also bring along the bore butter to put on top, which during the period was oftentimes pig fat.

    Welcome to the forums Lazanis!
    Yes, partisan rangers would have it, as well as other cavalrymen, some artillerymen, officers, and sergeants of all branches who wished to carry it.

    Very good point! The revolvers of the time did take a rather long reload which will turn many players off about playing officer. However this is the beauty of this being a game so I'm confident they will find a great balance for this. Also, we don't really know much about weapon specifics yet so it all is still in the open.

    I am glad to hear that you will not be able to reload your revolver. I do not want to deal with Pistoleros in WoR.

    I still don't see why you can't reload just because it takes too long. What if during a lull in the fighting while your men were recovering stamina and scavenging for ammo? I also saw in another post the brilliant Idea to reload one chamber at a time, for example if you shot 4 shots and you got a little bit of time later one, you could reload like 2 shots before moving on.

    I take this thread to make a question
    Is it posible to reload your rifle while you are kneel down?
    You know, two files shooting at the same time

    First of all. Files are counted from right to left... So what you mean is properly the two RANKS.

    The drill books are clear that both ranks shoot standing. The rear rank man shooting true the right interval. (most of the time.*)
    So the devs need to find some way for this to be practical in the game.

    Having the first rank kneel make no sense since its lower their rate of fire without making the "target" the unit makes smaller.
    So there is no proper way to do this in the drill book, with the exception of what is described in the regard to how to form square.

    So it is both ranks standing or both ranks kneeling...





    * Exactly how "left oblique" is done can be debated, but is sort of offtopic)

    There will be times when you need to kneel fire tho from cover especially behind a wall even back then it would have been done. Also skirmishing will be kneel fire so I don't think it can be taken out the game. I know they all stood to fire in line when in the open.

    Sergeants in the infantry was not issued revolvers. An infantry regiment was not issued any revolvers.
    And for much of the war the production of revolvers could not keep up with the numbers needed for issuing to the men who should have one.
    (cavalry and a few sergeant in the artillery... for shooting horses)

    So enlisted men in the infantry carrying a revolvers was in no way common, and really something you should not allow...

    Iam in no way suggestin that its taken out... My point is that both standing or both kneeling makes much more sense than front kneeling and rear standing. (unless in square) and the gamemechanics need to support this... so its easy to do without you shooting the man in front of you.
