On this episode of The Civil War Regiments Podcast, I'm joined in studio by my pard Chad Phillips to discuss the Austrian Lorenz Rifle, a popular weapon during the American Civil War. We discuss all things related to the Lorenz, it's unique features, how it served both sides during the war, what the soldiers thought of it, as well as why it is still a valued item today.
