Description
The
Colt
Revolving
rifle
,
issued
in
1863
to the
21st
Ohio
Volunteer
Infantry
(OVI)
,
gave
the
Union
soldiers
a
distinct
advantage
.
Many
of the
men
in the
21st
OVI
were
natives
of
Hancock
County
. They
could
fire
five
rounds
quickly
while
Confederates
had to
constantly
reload
their
single
shot
rifles
. At the
Battle
of
Chickamauga
,
it
is
estimated
535
soldiers
of the
21st
fired
43,000
rounds
in
five
hours
. The
rifle
barrels
were
so
hot
,
anyone
who
touched
them would be
burned
. The
original
design
of the
Colt
revolving
rifle
dates
back
to
1818
, but
it
didn't
experience
any
success
until
redesigned
by
Samuel
Colt
in
1836
. This
example
is
48
"
long
(121.92
cm)
.
