- Retric 11y agoDepends on what you mean by equivalent. Honestly, if the south had the technology and manufacturing advantage it probably would have won as the overall military's started out fairly equivalent. The most famous of these guns, the Spencer carbine, could fire seven shots in 30 seconds. Like many other Civil War technologies, these weapons were available to Northern troops but not Southern ones: Southern factories had neither the equipment nor the know-how to produce them. http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/civil-war-technology http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/civil-war-t...
