Really too bad the Irish were told to stop. From my understanding they were actually "winning" quite a bit.

Don't know what you are talking about. The Fenians were outright and thoroughly defeated at Eccles Hill... Have you watched the other videos in the series?

Hi. I was wondering if it’s possible to do a video on the Martini-Enfield rifle. Also, will you try to branch off into the sidearms of the British Empire such as the Webley or Adams revolvers? Do take care of yourself Rob. Happy Father’s Day too.

my guess is that the cannon is a one of. Bubba got a old gun and tried to modernise it. Do the shell fit a cannon at the time or was that too made by a unknown maker.

I’ve just been reading about William Walker, the American adventurer who took over Nicaragua in the 1850s. He was part of a wider “filibuster” movement that sought to conquer Latin American countries. This had some support in the American public and even in Congress. Overall , the idea was very controversial. The Fenian project could be thought of as a “northern” filibuster, again with some public support among the American people. It had recent precedent, however outrageous it sounds 150 later.
@britishmuzzleloaders4 сағат бұрын
Much less public support by 1870... different international relations than in Latin America, etc....

#301 My opinion is from the American perspective, but this series has been very illuminative. Prior to your series, my perspective of the Fenian story was the very stereotype "drunk Irishman try to invade Canada and are repelled by unprepared farmers," but these videos have been very informative of the reality of what was going on in both camps.

Hey Rob I might be asking for too much but would you do a video about British arms in foreign service, or more specifically the muzzle loading Enfield that are sold to the Kingdom of Siam around the time of king Rama IV or breech loading rifles such as the Snider-Enfield during the time of king Rama V. I understand if you are not able to do that and you don’t have to if you don’t want to; as I don’t want to let’s say put stress on you but I would appreciate it if you do.

A wonderful addition to the series. You could really see the difference in terminal ballistics between the Ballard and the Snider in the plinking exercise--very telling. But seeing Bakno shooting an actual Ballard rifle (probably) that was actually at the battle was truly exceptional. Thank you to all of you gentlemen.

The groupings were at 100yds.As for the Boers, that can not be determined with so many variations.... Though often they shot at over 1000yds.

Interest project mate. The broken ground added to the assault and your experience. In regard to your feet, likely experience of doing this in drills might reduce the problem of having to look at your foot fall all the time, in Skiing I have found as I improved my need to look at my skis was no longer needed as much as I turn or get into trouble..😮….. just a thought. Great video.
