For the early part of the 1800s, firearms were muzzle loading rifles, shotguns, and pistols. The percussion cap was still replacing the flintlock, and the revolver had not yet been invented. By the late 1800s, cartridge firearms had replaced muzzle loaders, and rifles might be bolt action, pump, lever action, or semi auto (Mexico had a semi auto military rifle in the 1890s). Handguns were usually revolvers or derringers, but some early auto loading pistols were on the market. The double barreled shotgun was still king, but was starting to be replaced by pump or lever action shotguns.
