	As the proud owner of an Enfield (and the person who first said to Steve
Long, "Hey, you should put THIS in *Law Dogs*!;) ), the Range 10 in the
basic rulebook is erroneous, and the Range in *LD* of 25 is more correct.
	The Enfield is indeed a black powder weapon, but is most definitely not a
smoothbore; hence the term "Rifle Musket" (i.e., it has a rifled barrel).
Hope this helps!

	(Got a nagging question about The War Between the States--our version or
*Deadlands*? Ever wondered about something in *Tales o' Terror: 1877*,
*Back East: The South* or *Dead Presidents*? If so, please, feel free to
post your query here and the co-author of said tomes will do his dangdest
to answer them!)
