Your point is well taken, the Spenser repeater was a significant factor in outcome. Gregg's cavalry, newly carrying Spenser's, stopped JEB Stuart from reinforcing Pickett's charge and changed the outcome of Gettysburg and the war.

Nonsense. Stuart’s horses were completely blown by July 3rd, 1863.
And they would have been slaughtered had they ‘reinforced’ Picketts charge across that wide open field, up hill, against fortified positions, backed up with hundreds of artillery pieces.
