It used a standard percussion cap, the Sharps had a faily unusual pellet primer feed. The sharps rifle made a superior weapon of higher accuracy than the more commonly issued muzzle-loading rifled-muskets.
The Gatling gun was a hand-crank-operated weapon with 6 barrels revolving around a central shaft. The cartridges were fed to the gun by gravity through a hopper mounted on the top of the gun. Since the gun was capable of firing 600 rounds a minute, each barrel fired 100 rounds per minute.
