Which weapon?

[Brooklyn]

So which weapon are you looking forward too using in game the most? So far the images in the media section show the Sharps Rifle M1859, Springfield M1861, Pattern Enfield 1853, and Colt Army revolver.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Springfield M1861.

[Caserta34]

I like the m1861 to but I chose the colt army revolver

[Rithal]

Definitely the enfield!

[Caserta34]

Whats the difference between the m1861 and te enfield

[Rithal]

Whats the difference between the m1861 and te enfield

Well, the enfield is more accurate, has flip up rear sights, is slightly heavier so delivers less recoil, and had an effective range of at least 600 yards when fired by a properly trained soldier of the British army. All in my opinion and various facts I have gathered in my days of interneting. I also know that the enfield was one of the most sought after guns on both sides...

[Ry1459]

Of course I would choose my beloved Sharps rifle!

[SwissGronkh]

Colt Army Revolver is fun ;)

[Bravescot]

Sharps everyday of the week :D

[Broccoli]

Good Ol' Enfield

[mineshadows]

I'll take the m1861 springfield if you guys don't mind.

[Zahari]

Give me horse and sabre

[Soulfly]

Rebel yell for me, hoorah for the psychological warfare

[RhettVito]

1853 Enfield

[mineshadows]

Wait why is the Lorenz rifle not in the poll?

Wait why is the Lorenz rifle not in the poll?

The poll is based on weapon models seen in the images, under the media tab on the home page. That's why I put the "other" option in the poll as there are a ton of different small arms that were used by both sides during the war.

[mineshadows]

K thanks for the info.

I love the Springfield M1861 but i think if my Plan works for making a reg it will be the Colt Army Revolver ^^

[Hinkel]

I would take the Springfield 42... And get close to 40 yard, to hit anything with that Smoothbore ;)

The Problem here, that weapon is not in the Poll xD

[Soulfly]

Please note me Hinkel when you are doing this, will be an amazing scene seeing you running at them until you hit the 40 yard mark :D

The Enfield, Can't wait to get my sticky hands on that fine piece of weaponry >:)

That's what I like to hear! :D

[Brother_Padre]

Colt Revolver all the way! In NaS I've managed to pull off some nice shots with that weapon and I can't wait too see what aiming down the sights of it will be like!

Do note you'll only get the six shots and no reload.

Noted, no change in answer :)

Will always be able to pick-up a rifle from the many dead 72ndPA! :cool:

[Cynfar]

I hate to say, but it's true! lol! I look forward to taking weapons from your lifeless bodies. I like a Springfield Rifle, and that will be my preferred weapon of choice.

[Bravescot]

Let's go looting! wooh hoo!

[Rithal]

Will always be able to pick-up a rifle from the many dead 72ndPA! :cool:

I will admit, I literally laughed out loud when I read this.

[Bravescot]

Ah screw you guys xD I'm sure there will be plenty dead 20thME and 146thNY to get your rifles off of after you've been in the thick of it with the 72ndPA.

Feeling bullied? awwww poor little Bravescot ;) Don't worry, can always pickup some British exports from the dead Johnny Rebs we just mopped up together

[Josy_Wales]

It seems like my possibility to be a bushwhacker in this game is poor since there are no reloading of revolvers (Ill miss u LeMat and Remington :C) So Ill have to set the Mississippi rifle for infantry, and Whitworth rifle for skirmishers as my top picks.

[Rithal]

:D We have finally been graced by The Outlaw Josey Wales! (For those of you who don't know, that is my favorite movie based around The Civil War :) )

[Josy_Wales]

A great story, covering so much is such a short amount of time :)

[Historical Player]

Great stories come and go, but the sucky ones are always in our hearts.

[Rohr]

I want to try them all but I must say the Sharps is what I am looking forward to!

[Nick Lazanis]

The Enfield. It's going to be glorious :D

[Brother_Padre]

The Enfield. It's going to be glorious :D

Rule Britannia! Good piece of British engineering :)

[Josy_Wales]

Will you add flintlocks? I know some Confederate regiments carried it all the way into 63. I am not sure how common they were in the Army of Northern Virginia, but they lastet pretty long in the Army of Tennessee.

[Jeremiah O'Brien]

There's nothing like a Whitworth for picking off Union generals.

[Macca]

Springfield all the way.

[Ted]

20-Pounder Parrott Rifle and I'm fine :rolleyes:

[natbro11]

I hope they add the Henry repeating rifle and hand crank Gatling guns

[Mi'kmaq]

I hope they add the Henry repeating rifle and hand crank Gatling guns
If I remember correctly, the Henry Repeating Rifle would've been rare to see on the battlefield. There were only around 14,000 made.

[Soulfly]

I hope they add the Henry repeating rifle and hand crank Gatling guns

Since WoR will initially support the Maryland Campaign (in 1862), both weapons will hardly being seen...i would love to say "not being seen" but i wouldnt dare to.

[robotjosh18]

being the owner of a 1860 army i am very excited to see that in game, i've never shot mine but played around with it alot and you would not believe how nice it is to hold it one handed

[Damian]

Pattern Enfield 1853 for me.
