- Ultra big bore snipers, the roots of which reach back to the Revolutionary War and the Kentucky rifle
- Gatling guns, a hand-cranked, rapid-fire gun invented by Dr. Richard J. Gatling in 1861, a modern version of which is powered by an electric motor and has a four thousandâ€“round-per-minute cyclic rate
- Muzzle-loading, smoothbore cannons, cast in bronze and iron, which dominated land and sea warfare until they were made obsolete by rifle Parrott guns and breech-loading cannons in the Civil War
- And much more!
