Gettysburg

2011-06-27T20:19:41Z

Scarroll357: /* Springfield Model 1861 */

''Gettysburg'' is the 1993 war film that depicts the events surrounding the pivotal battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War.
Several characters from this film would return in the 2003 prequel, ''[[Gods and Generals]]''. All of the extras in the movie were Civil War reenactors who provided their own kit, allowing the shooting of epic battle scenes on a low budget, and making the uniforms and weapons used unusually correct.

'''The following guns were used in the film ''Gettysburg'':'''
[[Image:Gettysburg.jpg|thumb|300px|right|''Gettysburg'' (1993)]]
__TOC__<br clear="all">

==Enfield 1853==

The most commonly seen weapon in the film is the [[British 1853 Enfield|Enfield Pattern 1853]], carried by Union and Confederate troops, often in the same unit as Springfields. Although this was common in the Confederate Army, the Union issued Enfields and Springfields separately to simplify logistics.

[[Image:Gettysburg 1861 springfields.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A view of marching soldier's rifles, most of which are Enfields.]]
[[Image:gettysburg enfield 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Confederate soldiers aims his Enfield.]]

==Springfield Model 1861==

Both Union and Confederate soldiers use [[Springfield 1861|Springfield Model 1861]] rifles throughout the film.

[[Image:Gettysburg 1861 springfields.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A view of marching soldier's rifles. Despite the fact that the 20th Maine was issued 1853 Enfields, many Springfields can be seen, particularly towards the right.]]
[[Image:Gettysburg 1861 springfield.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Confederate soldier aims his Springfield]]

==Springfield Model 1842==

Several soldiers in the 20th and Armistead's Brigade are seen with [[Springfield Model 1842]] muskets. Although the Union army did not mix weapons within units, several Union units at Gettysburg were still carrying Model 1842 muskets, most notably the 12th New Jersey and the Irish Brigade.

== Whitworth ==

A Confederate sniper uses a scoped Whitworth rifle to kill Union General Reynolds during the battle. The British-made Whitworth was considered the most accurate muzzle-loader available during the Civil War and prized by Confederate sharpshooters.

==Sharps 1859 Carbine==

Buford's Union cavalry use [[Sharps_Rifle#Sharps_1859_Carbine|Sharps 1859 carbines]] along with Springfields (used by extras in infantry uniforms, suggesting not enough cavalry reenactors were available). Other than that, the Sharps are never seen in the movie again.
