Ch. 11

In chapter 11 Henry hears the battle raging and it sonds like he is getting closer. He sees a group of soliders heading toward the battle and he feels ashamed and he almost goes out into battle with them but rembers that he does not have a gun, he is tired, and he is also starving. So basicly he makes up some stuff so that he does not have to go out into the battle. He could have found a gun on the field. Then he tries to make up an excuse so that the soliders in camp won't make fun of him but he can't.
My question is: Where did his gun go? Why wouldn't he carry a pistol on him? But I think back in thoes days only the officers got to carry pistols.
