Give the Confederates these .45 Ranch Hand guns as their primary weapons with the same amount of ammunition they would have had during the war but it's .45 cal. Do these dinky guns change the outcome of the war. No modifying the guns in any way or creating better versions of it.

If bronze manufacture is more complex than iron manufacture, how come the "bronze age" happened before the "iron age"?
46 posts and 3 images submitted.

Because iron is more difficult to smelt due to its higher melting point and large degree of impurities. Also, shit rusts.
