The most common small arm at Gettysburg was the .58 caliber Springfield rifle musket model 1861. Many Confederates carried the .577 caliber Enfield rifled Musket. Several units carried the .69 caliber smoothbore. Cavalry were armed with .54 caliber Sharps carbines and a few lucky units under George Amstrong Custer were carrying the .52 caliber Spencer repeating carbine.
