looks like a Xbox360 port
will SUCK IT didn`t played a good shooter for a very long time ...
Ok what's long? I played FPS Prey and it wasn't bad. But i did not finished it so it wasn't great. As far as i remember the last game i realy finished and played some levels for the second time was with Call of duty 2 I have a little hope that this is the same with this game But if it is some sort of xbox port than this would probably NOT be the case
I wouldnt say thats far fetched since they were low velocity pea-shooters in comparison to todays weapons. unless at very close range.
From 3m distance you would die no matter what weapon they fired (that was used during the american civil war that is) and as Parallax said, they were ment to kill.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
True and it's also a FPS. Which means it's probably highly inacurate as history goes. Then again, it is from The History Channel.
Yeah well thats why im abit suprised..one would think a game from The History Channel would be very realistic. Anyway, Im gonna play it ones its released. It might be fun in multiplayer too (if there is any ofc)

yeah you would think so. didnt see the vids and therefore didnt realise it was close range shots. shame on the History Channel, this certainly aint no OFP clone.
Can a single shot weapon jam?
Can't see it myself.
why only single shot?
The first machine-gun type weapon ever used in combat was built for the Confederate War Dept in Sept 1861. The Williams breech-loading rapid-fire gun was first used at the Battle of Seven Pines and worked so well that the War Dept ordered 42 more of them. The gun was actually a crank-operated, very light artillery piece that fired a one-pound (1.57 calibre) projectile with a range of 2,000 yards. It was operated by a crew of three and could fire at a rate of 65 rounds per minute. One operator aimed and fired the weapon by turning the crank, the second placed a paper cartridge into the breech, and the third placed the percussion cap. The major problem with this gun was overheating, which made the breech jam due to heat expansion.
oops missing fingers too:
The Colt repeating rifle (Colt-Root Model 1855 percussion repeating rifle) was a large version of the Colt revolver, but it never operated as well nor became as popular. It was initially produced in 1855 and came in calibres ranging from .40 to .64. It fired a conical bullet that came with a paper cartridge attached which had to be firmly seated into its cylinder by means of a lever-action ramrod. Cylinders came in five and six shot models and all rounds could be fired as quickly as the soldier could cock the hammer and pull the trigger. During the Civil War the War Dept purchased only 4,712 weapons -- a relatively small number. Though the rifle could be fired rapidly, it was much slower to load than other breech-loading weapons and it had the unfortunate tendency to fire all of its cylinders at one time, often removing fingers from the rifleman's forward hand. Although a few Southern units were equipped with this weapon at the beginning of the war, it is best remembered for its use by Union troops. The first weapon issued to Berdan's Sharpshooters were Colt Repeaters, but were soon replaced with Sharps rifles.
