Calisher_and_Terry_carbine
The Calisher and Terry Carbine was an early bolt-action breech-loading carbine. It used a waterproof paper cartridge ignited with a percussion cap.
Approved by the British War Office for use by cavalry, it was first issued to the 18th Hussars, but is best known for its use by the Colonial governments in Australia and New Zealand - particularly by the NZ Colonial Defence Force (NZ Forest Rangers) from July 1863 - and its occasional use in the American Civil War.
