Morgan-James Rifle

The Morgan-James Rifle, as seen on the menu screen of the game,

The Morgan-James Rifle is a Civil-War era sniper rifle, with high-power one-hit kills, and extremely long range due to the telescopic sight. Aside from its aesthetic differences and its telescopic sight, the rifle is essentially identical to the Springfield Musket in terms of damage and reload speed - both are muzzle-loading weapons. The Morgan-James has obviously practical applications, such as dispatching blue aura enemies, but the scarcity of ammunition and the significant reload time make it somewhat unwieldy.

The Morgan-James Rifle can be found dropped from fallen snipers, but it is usually found in a weapons cache or an obscure tent somewhere around the battlefield. In a straight fire-fight, this weapon is naturally superseded by faster-firing weapons such as the Henry Rifle, Colt Revolver, or even perhaps the Springfield Musket.

Trivia

• It is important to note that the game does not calculate bullet drop or shot dispersion, except for in automatic weapons. This means that wherever you point your gun, the shot will go. Given this, the Springfield has the exact same accuracy and can dispatch enemies just as easily with ammunition abound, minus the scope.
• The Morgan-James Rifle appears to be a Whitworth Rifle, produced in premium by the British in the 1830's and finding its way into Confederate hands in the Civil War.
• The barrel's hexagonal shape translates to its bore as well - even going so far as to use hexagonal bullets that gripped the hexagonal rifling.
