A percussion rifle is a type of rifle that uses a percussion cap instead of the flintlock or matchlock variants. The matchlock and flintlock are older variants when compared to the percussion cap. This rifle quickly became coveted by many thanks to its faster reloading time.

Because of the fewer moving parts that it required it also became both rugged and versatile more so then other single shot rifles. The United States took advantage of the percussion system in 1841 and created and made it into an infantry rifle in the same year.

Before you can properly learn to shoot your rifle you first need to know the basics of how to clean it. It is dangerous for anyone to clean their gun without first knowing exactly what to do.

In order to clean your barrel you need to use a one piece, coated rod. If you have a sectional rod, I would advise you to get rid of it, as it may scratch the bore. Always use a bore guide when you clean your barrel. This is crucial because it provides proper alignment for the rod and allows you to clean the barrel from the chamber end out, rather than from the muzzle end. It also provides protection for the chamber, throat, rifling and crown.

An assault rifle is a selective fire rifle also known as carbine firing ammunition. It has muzzle energies that are intermediate between those typical of pistol and battle rifle ammunition.

These rifles are often categorized between light machine guns that are intended more for a sustained automatic fire in a support role and submachine guns. These types of guns fire a handgun cartridge instead of a rifle cartridge.

Many assault rifles are the standard small arms in many of the modern armies and have almost replaced the larger and more powerful battle rifles.
