    If the increased sway was to "nerf" the Sharps, that is foolish. The Sharps was an elite weapon and was an advantage to those that used it. The Union had that advantage. It is historically inaccurate to "even the playing field" by having it sway more or increase its randomness.

    Weapon sway is a trade off, we don't have Infantry units with a thousand men in them, to 'historically' simulate the weapons of the era would have meant that we'd be decimated fighting in lines.
