I am glad I watched to the end to get the discussion about volley fire and the utility of formation shooting. Particularly in the era of super accurate firearms, we tend to forget that the effectiveness of individual firepower is a relatively recent historical phenomenon and that so much depended on coordinated drill and unit discipline well into the early 20th century. You probably could have armed Dabulamanzi's impi entirely with Martini Henrys and it wouldn't have positively affected the outcome for them as their experience in the manual of arms would not have made them effective.

Amazing. I always loved the size of the .577/450 martini round. And congratulations to you and your beautiful antique rifle for such a good showing.

What an awesome video! Goes to show that all the issues Henry had experienced, was near irrelevant by doctrine at the time. As per any military weapon old or new, training is key to get the utmost out of what is issued.

Checked the like button mid-way through and wanted to check again after the commentary at the end. Great video!

This goes right next to IV8888's vid on Martini Henry at 600. Awesome stuff, you dont get many hits but somehow, that doesn't matter, it's still a awesome day out on the range and massive fun.

Your lead on is a HOOT! Your shooting was/is superb! The segment with Brit Rob was really good. I always get a lot from your videos. Good work.

Hands down the best Nine Hole Review! Two of my favorite channels!! The historical debrief for context was excellent. Thanks for the quality content.

I wonder how much the ammo affected this session. It seems that different rounds apparently shot differently. But, even so, it's a miracle that the Poms actually hit any Zulus! :-)
