A Percussion Rifle (4,000 grams, T-4) is a muzzle-loading rifle relying on an explosive cap to ignite the powder. [1]

Description (Specifications)

It requires a small amount of time to reload during which time the firer may not evade. Loading is the same as for a musket but there is no chance of a misfire. The weapon fires as a rifle. [2]

History & Background (Dossier)

All these weapons require that the owner also carry gunpowder and properly sized lead balls; percussion weapons also require a supply of percussion caps. [3]
