Wasn't this standard issue in the Colonial Army at the end of the Revolutionary War?
The US probably received a ton of them from France post-Saratoga, but US forces (both organized and militia) were likely too diversely equipped for anything to have been standard issue. --Ruzhyo 19:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- The Springfield Model 1795 Musket was really the first "standard-issue" US military firearm, and it was essentially a copy of the Charleville, but you can't really talk about any "standard-issue" firearm for US forces during the revolutionary way. They may have had more Charleville's than anything else, but they were far from standardized. - Nyles
- I realize now "Standardized" was probably not the best term. I meant was this the most common weapon used by the Americans.
