In fact just a short time before Little Big Horn Custer's troops had been rearmed with the single shot Trapdoor's giving up their Spencer Repeating Rifles that they had carried since the Civil War. A bureaucratic decision that had fatal consequences for the men under Custer's command as most had not even fired their new weapons until the Battle of Little Big Horn. One hell of a time to learn a new weapon that had 1\5th the rounds per min firepower of the one you had been used to.
