THE CIVIL WAR CAP BOX The armament and accouterments of the Civil War soldier were varied, but the most common weapon was the three-banded, muzzle-loaded, rifle musket with an effective range up to 600 yards. A marksman could hit a target at 1,000 yards, although most battles were fought around 200. The musket fired a one-ounce conical lead bullet which upon impact took every- thing with it. The soldier carried what he needed. Beside the musket, he slung his cartridge box over his shoulder. On his belt he wore a cap box, bayonet scabbard, and canteen. The cap box of the Civil War was adopted in 1855. This small pouch was attached to the soldiers belt and would contain percussion caps. These caps were necessary to ignite the black powder in the weapon after the cartridge had been loaded.
