Never saw such a thing before. It was very loud and a bit silly, but fun.

    This is wild speculation, but I have two guesses:

    1. The battlefields are right here at home.
    2. The civil war post-dates the switch in manufacturing to interchangeable parts with defined tolerances. This makes it a whole lot easier to build and maintain the firearms.
