Civil War WeaponsOne of the first civil war machine gun was a six barreled 350 rounds per minute gatling gun. Mostly went unused due to the fact of being unreliable and unhandable. However, the few occasions that it was used, many died, because the gun certainly didn't lack in power. Other than that, many unorthodox weapons were used, such as, swords, steam guns, landmines, underwater mines. The weapons were so unsually weird and experimental, but paved the way for many advanced modern weaponry.
