| Was reading up on the Baker Rifle, used during the Napoleonic Wars by special units in the British Army. This weapon was more accurate and longer ranged than the smooth bore musket. The Mexican army purchased some of these and they were reportedly used by Santa Anna's troops at the Alamo. Probably they were also used at the San Jacinto. Some replicas were purchased and used in the filming of the recent movie, "The Alamo."
