During the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), which included the fighting in 1847, Mexican forces primarily used flintlock muskets and percussion rifles, along with muzzle-loading artillery and edged weapons such as sabers. The Mississippi rifle was used at the Battle of La Angostura, Coahuila, in February 1847.
Long firearms: The flintlock musket was the primary infantry weapon, widely used despite being outdated technology. Percussion rifles, such as the Mississippi rifle (prized for its greater accuracy), and French and even some British models, were also used.
Artillery: Muzzle-loading bronze cannons were crucial in key battles.
Blade weapons: Sabers and lances were used by both cavalry and in hand-to-hand combat.
Technical context: Many of these weapons were muzzle-loading (loading from the muzzle) and single-shot, unlike some more modern weapons that were beginning to be used by the U.S. Army, marking a significant technological difference.
It is important to differentiate that these weapons correspond to the war of 1847, not to the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which include the machine guns and Mauser rifles mentioned in the search results, which are later than the indicated period.
