To save time:

Steal British Cannons
Produce more Am-Mulard:B
Focus on Montgomery and Nelson

This is the only suggestion I have actually seen with any backing at all. I'm not gonna go ahead with it without some more though.

So we're submitting all 3 actions at once?

In that case I'd agree with cherry apart from the focus, where I think we should put one of our focus actions towards taking some of the sea back from the loyalists.

If you're all happy with all of them, yes. Otherwise I'll stop at the one people are disagreeing on..

Do you know what we need? Some fast-firing weapons that aren't air rifles. I was thinking something with superposed loads/cartridges. We could do it as a modification of the Brown Bess probably, just with multiple chained locks further along the barrel.

And Ft. Combe might be starting to split up this year, I wonder how that goes.

Nah the rifled Bess is working well enough, except for cost. At least not something as complicated as a superposed muzzleloader.
We really need a cavalry weapon, so why not a multibarrel carbine or a pepperbox, or, a revolver?

Isn't the Samara slower to reload than the Bess? A pepperbox carbine would be pretty good though. Proper revolvers are going to be sketchy until we get integrated cartridges.

Well we could go with newer rifle and try to make a breechloader one?

Could we apply our knowledge of dealing with pressure from the air rifle in order to help deal with sealing the breech of a breech-loader? It seems like the understanding of one should help with the other, but I don't really know for sure.

Well we need to add interrupting screw to the breach-loader for rifles or metallic caritages for smaller guns which wouldn't be too much, we also have rifling tech which is pretty handy for this.
