Historical Background:

The Enfield 1860 Musketoon was a shortened version of the standard Enfield Pattern 1853 rifle-musket, designed for use by cavalry units, artillerymen, and Confederate infantry. Its shorter barrel made it more maneuverable while still delivering accuracy and stopping power on the battlefield.

The Enfield rifle was imported in large numbers from Great Britain by both the Union and Confederate armies, making it one of the most commonly used firearms of the Civil War era. Confederate forces in particular relied on the 1860 Musketoon, as it was easier to handle in cavalry engagements and trench warfare.
