Talk:List of weapons in the American Civil War

thread_title: What do you ppl

message: This article seems to be making little progress. What is the proposed scope? Is it just infantry weapons or all weapons (artillery, gunboats, torpedoes, etc.)? If the former, consider renaming it Infantry weapons of the American Civil War; if the latter, you should probably recognize that there are already many articles on many types of weapons and it would be more appropriate to rename this List of weapons in the American Civil War, making it a list with brief descriptions and pointers to existing articles.

thread_title: Scope?

message: My original intent on making this page was to make information on American Civil War weapons a little easier to find, as I had a school project when I made it on this very subject.  However, I followed your suggestion and, if given some free time, will add some links to other pages with a brief description.  Signeon 01:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rifles? 

message: If this is a "list", it should probably look like the articles in List of World War II weapons, or for that matter anything in List of weapons.  An article like Weapons of the American Civil War would be more appropriate for the paragraphs written here. Joshdboz (talk) 15:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

They also used Rains and Adams grenades, which were similar to the ash Ketchum in appearance and mechanism.[10]

thread_title:  Joke 

message: This article needs to be re-written and provided with accurate sources. There are a few historical inaccuracies and misstatements. I started to edit the page, but then came to the conclusion that it would be better if the page were deleted, there are already numerous articles and lists that provide a more complete listing, as well as more detailed information, concerning American Civil War weapons.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JTGlackin (talk • contribs) 21:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Semi protect this page

message: Please remove the introduction image - nobody in their right mind sticks a knife into a block of wood. It is nearly guaranteed to damage the point. It is a dangerous practice that should not be displayed in an image on Wikipedia unless it is a page about unsafe knife handling practices; think of images with gangsters holding their gun sideways to shoot, should that be the opening image for the handgun page? 128.12.219.153 (talk) 13:44, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Its hardly the focus of the image and a pretty nit-picky reason to suggest its removal. Considering that subject matter related and royalty free photos are hard to come by, please find a better image and replace it if you feel so strongly on the subject. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

thread_title: Introduction Image - remove

message: I've reviewed both articles (this one and Rifles in the American Civil War) and although there is overlap, each appears to have its own merits. The List has a nicely presented chart accompanied by ancillary information. Whereas this article goes into more detail than a List article would typically contain. Furthermore, there are not independent articles for each rifle mentioned which justifies a separate article for those interested in or by the subject. For these reasons I am removing the three year old template. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 21:19, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Hey GELongstreet, it doesn't appear to be so much "superfluous" as you say, it just includes some emergency equipment that was used at that specific conflict
For example the photographic camera and the searchlight were significant
The photographic camera was used to the battlefield
At an 1863 operation to retake Charleston harbor, General Quincy Adams Gillmore laid siege to the Confederate stronghold at Fort Wagner, General Gillmore's Union artillery bombarded the fort night and day with the help of searchlights also known as limelights (because these chemical lamps used superheated balls of lime or calcium oxide to create an incandescent glow and had been used in theaters and lighthouses since 1830s) but General Gillmore's engineers were the first to adapt them for combat, by shining limelights on Fort Wagner, the Union forces were able to illuminate their artillery target while simultaneously blinding Confederate gunners and riflemen
These limelights were later used as searchlights to spot Confederate warships and blockade runners, in early 1865 a Union searchlight even helped detect a Confederate ironclad fleet as it tried to move along the James river under cover of darkness, later a Southern officer noted that a planned sneak attack was made impossible in part because of the Union's powerful limelight  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 11.11.11.11.

message: At the end of the first paragraph: "[..]and new weapons such as the early grenade[...]"
Grenades have been around for a long time. In the 1600s they had special infantry unit called grenadiers specifically tasked with employing that weapon. I don't need to provide a reliable source, they should be very easy to find. 2001:999:788:4438:509:BEEC:B415:49A9 (talk) 06:06, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
