".58 caliber rifled musket had more than double the range of a smoothbore percussion musket. It had more than double the fire rate of a smoothbore flintlock and four to five times of a flintlock rifle. By the 1790s standards, it was a super weapon -- as the Russians found out during the Crimean War of 1854-55. Should Americans be allowed to have such terribly modern weapons?"
