Guyz can anyone tell me what weapons did our 4fathers use ? artilary pic rifles etc??

As what my teacher once told us when i was in grade school, the Filipino revolutionaries at that time used bolos, spears and lances against the Spaniards. Of course they used rifles too. Most rifles they were using are taken from dead spaniards, like this:


Fusil Mauser Español Modelo 1893.

As far as I know, the Spanish Mauser M1893 is a standard-issue among spanish troops at that time. It could be the same weapon that killed Rizal.

wow so thats the mauser u know i think thats gun that kill Gen Lawton what was the unit who was famous for using this gun ?? this gun is one of my favorit blot action gun man 1000 yards what a gun for its time

Like many other armed forces, the United States military was searching for a new rifle in the early 1890s. A competition was held in 1892, comparing rifle designs from Lee, Krag, Mannlicher, Mauser, Schmidt-Rubin, and about 40 other military and civilian designs. The trials were held at Governors Island, New York. Despite protests from domestic inventors and arms manufacturers—two designers, Russell and Livermore, even sued the US government over the choice—an improved form of the Krag-Jørgensen won the contract.[1] The United States formally adopted the rifle in 1892 to replace the single shot Springfield. Around 500,000 'Krags' were produced at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts from 1894–1904. It was the U.S. military's main rifle from 1894 to 1903 when it was replaced by the M1903 Springfield rifle with its more robust .30-03 cartridge, which was soon replaced by the .30/06. The Krag-Jorgensen Rifle in Rimmed.30 Army round found use in the Boxer Rebellion, the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War. In this later war the rifle was referred to in a song popular with U.S. troops with a verse running:

Damn, damn, damn the Filipinos!
Cut throat murdering ladrones!
Underneath the starry flag,
Civilize them with a Krag,
And return us to our beloved home.

here you go, bro, our forefathers' pride and joy:
