The question of arms has come up in the unit. We portray a federal horse artillery unit and I have plenty of documentation that the men carried sabers and pistols. The question of long arms has come up. Does anyone one know if carbines were used by members of the horse artillery in support or defense of the guns? For example would men on the ammo train have them? Possibly some cannoneers themselves? I do know that sabers were left on the saddles.
