So the choice is three rounds a minute if your soldiers are good or a gun no one can aim and which jams after several shots in this period due to its numerous defects as its just being introduced. Lovely.Given that rifles and muskets seem to be the better alternative here (Unless you aim to be up close to the enemy) probably time to put bright colonial uniforms back into my NS xD

If we're using civil war era rifles, then musket lines are probably going to be obsolete real fast. If I remember correctly, one of the big reason why civil war battles in America were so deadly was that the rifles they used were waaaaaaaay more accurate than the muskets, but as the saying goes, "fighting with today's weapons with yesterday's tactics" same reason why WWI was such a mess
