We tested the mastiff (that walking robot) in our unit. it was still a prototype and we were supposed to determine if it could do what the tech providers were advertising. It could carry way more than thirty pounds, but the downside is it sounded like someone revving a chainsaw the whole time it was operational, and we had a tech provider following it everywhere it went with a fire extinguisher in his backpack in case it burst into flames.

[@rexringtail471]

Interesting notes: The Mongols often wore silk capes that were anchored to their heels so they belled out like parachutes. Historical accounts mentioned arrows would bounce off the silk capes when the Mongols turned to pull back and presented their backs to enemy archers. Mythbusters did an episode on it, and started out very skeptical about it, but their experiment proved it was actually VERY effective at repelling arrows from behind. Glad you mentioned the utility of breastplates against sabers during the Napoleonic war. Famously the English Horse mocked their rivals, the heavy Cuirassers for wearing breastplates, which they thought were purely ornamental. Then the English Horse absorbed a direct charge from Cuirassers at Waterloo and got wrecked in melee when their sabers bounced off the French and they in return got hacked apart.

RSVN, 1Cav, 66-67: three canteens, E-tool, five ammo pouches with 25 each of 20 round mags (with only 18 per, as they'd jam with 20), 480 rounds. The sixth pouch had an "Instamatic" camera. (When I carried the M-79 and .45, I had four seven round mags for the .45, and 42 HE rounds of M-79 and one Buckshot, 12 in four ammo pouches, 12 each in two used Claymore bags slung across my chest and neck, choking me, and eight more in the butt pack.) Four M26A2 frags- two on the belt as per regs (taped off and useless) and two accessible in the pockets of my jungle blouse. fifteen cans of C-rations(13.4 pounds), cigs, spare socks, C-Rat sundry packs stuffed here and there, and a poncho wrapped up around an air mattress and a poncho liner all strapped beneath the tiny butt pack... 65-70 pounds... (6'0" and weighed 145 pounds) Plus two of the following: a belt of 7.62 for the M-60, a Claymore, or an M-72 LAWS AT rocket. When we were up in the jungle in the IA Drang and near Cambodia, we also carried an 81mm Mortar round (a 14 pound HE or a 26 pound-WP) slung across in our web gear. When cutting point, the mortar round, 7.62 ammo, Law or Claymore were carried by those behind you as you hacked your way along an azimuth. (If you lasted 20-30 minutes doing this, you then got you ordinance back... and some of the new point man's...) Needles to say, just walking was a struggle. But hey, were were 19-23 years old... 2/3 of us draftees, one guy, 26, drafted one month before he'd've been too old (even including the lifer NCOs, 23-32 years old). One gun team had one man 5'4" too short to be in the Army, and his co-gunner was 6'10". He got the biggest boots they had, cut the toes out, and used cloth "book tape" wrapped over the toes, repairing the boots daily. We Viet Vets catch a bunch criticism for a lotta crap-Bullsh*t!... I'd been to Military Schools and had done a lotta research... The the "training" we got was less that useless. One day each: Maps, radio, E&E, 50 cal, .45 pistol, M-16, M-60, M-79, Bazooka (not the M72 LAWS), First Aid, M26A2 grenade, etc... Nine weeks.The real deal was OJT in country... long stretches in the boonies, 46 and 56 days being my longest (and did 120+ combat assaults). Basically, by the time you learned the job, you worked 6-9 months. The Officers only spent six months, barely learning the job before being pulled back to the rear to learn the administrative elements. Thank the great green gods of war... todays grunts get good gear and real training... Though you guys might think it's crap... ponder the past a bit... Of my 360 days in country, 300 were hikin' and campin'...the other 60 were hospital, convalescing and R&Rs

Mongols liked to fight neighboring countries that had horses, and when they won they added the horses to their ranks. MAXIMUM HORSES ACHIEVED

[@StoutProper]

They were more ponies than horses but yeah. They also preferred mares, because after they’d foaled they’d keep sucking and milking them to ensure they carried on producing milk. They even cut them and drank their blood when they were low on supplies, then bandaged the cut up for later

The Napoleonic armour could stop musket balls, just at a bit of a distance. The breastplate shown was hit by a cannon ball, not a musket.

[@danepatterson8107]

Why did the US switch from a longer barreled M16 to a shorter barrel M4 at a time the US knew engagement ranges were going up beyond 300 meters in Afghanistan?

[@nicholasthurmond4006]

Because the M4 is still accurate on man-sized targets up to 500 yards, and the maximum effective shooting distance of the average rifleman is 300-500 yards depending on skill. Giving your soldiers a rifle that is accurate beyond 500 yards is useless unless they are a designated marksmen. The M4 carbine can shoot accurately at longer distances than most humans so there's no need for a more accurate gun unless you're sniping.

[@orlock20]

Shorter weapons are useful for being transported in armored vehicles and house to house. Most troops aren't that accurate, even on the shooting range. The Europeans have given up on training their troops to shot at an object and decided to train them at shooting at a zone. Some squads, such as the Russians and UK troops have marksmen that have different rifles from the rest and are told to aim and shoot.

[@danepatterson8107]

@James Harding I'm a novice. I served in the Abrams where I had a 7.62 coaxial M240 with a laser rangefinder and gyrostabilization (because why not hit what you shoot with high reliability)... What is the upside to a shorter barrel even at 100 meters? It appears to this tanker that they just shortened it for no particular reason. I'm a tanker - shorter barrel = bad. I don't understand (I served 87-91)

[@danepatterson8107]

@@nicholasthurmond4006 The Kar98 (from 1898) had sights ranging out to 800 meters for volley fire. And it fought in trench warfare. I just don't get the M4 at all (or is it the case that I really misunderstand the pointlessness of the M16?)

@@orlock20 "The Europeans have given up on training their troops to shot at an object and decided to train them at shooting at a zone." - that's straight up wrong, when there were reports of 5.56 not stopping people the Swedish actually went further and started painting the targets with stripes so that it only counts as a hit if you place the bullet on the head or the center of the chest to increase the chance of the bullet hitting the heart of cutting the spinal cord.

I love the photo example of a Napoleonic cuirass (breastplate) with a giant hole in it caused by a cannonball as you talk about how it's not rated for muskets! I'm going to assume that this is part of your sense of humor, since you looked up that image, and must have read the caption. Seriously though, those extra thick cuirasses (the thickest were about 6mm) were bullet-proof from pistol at a range of 8 feet or more, and were actually musket-proof from approximately 50-100 yards out (depending on the thickness, and where exactly the bullet struck). Many experts agree that the real danger to knights and cuirassiers was from cannonballs rather than muskets/rifles/pistols, since no amount of humanly wearable/usable armour will make you cannon-proof as you can see in the picture you used.

Correction: while grenadiers existed in the armies of the time (not just the French) and they once did throw bombs in combat, by the 18th century, and certainly the Napoleonic Wars, they weren't performing that role. Grenades were seen as imprectical and dangerous. The title of grenadier survived as a military tradition, but their role was more like "shock infantry", they were veteran soldiers, typically taller and stronger than the average and well disciplined. They were usually the first men in an attack and the last in a retreat

Now if you do get a backpack with a drone mix so it take your smartphone until it goes the app till it comes to you and engine start up the blades rotate it flies up and it follows you right where you're at that'd be a great idea for ammo cans flying ammo cans and come right to you drop off the load flyback pick up another can fly back to the front lines drop it off

Funny story from my father. When he was did the Gas Chamber while in Marine Basic, his group had to sing whatever songs and recall information. While everyone else was dying he had no issues and just said it. The mans always never had real issues with crying or gases, due to growing up on a farm in New Jersey and always getting dirt and such in his eye.

We had a guy who was doing jumping jacks and calling cadence...after he took his mask off...freakishly nearly immune to it, Drill Sergeant finally yanked his own mask off thinking obviously something was wrong, nope, genuine CS, ran out coughing and choking like everyone else.

It is interesting that historically, from Alexander's time until now, a typical load out = ~60 pounds. The Brits who retook the Falklands from Argentina yomped 100 lbs + for short distances, but it was exhausting.

That rucksack looks great. I might honestly buy one for camping

0:53 great use of a forgotten realms soldier, but you should look at the artists other works, they did great illustrations of the Napoleonic wars, and just soldiers in general, their name is Karl kopinski primarily know for their Magic the gathering illustrations and the after mentioned Napoleonic illustrations.

Remember the soldier that warned Napoleon: Don't get blown apart, Bonaparte.

Great vid. I was curious about what the modern soldier and squad carry. Lots of logistical questions that might make a good future vid. Like how many MREs vs how much ammo does one soldier carry? And does this vary based on the mission or is it a one size fits all for all missions? Do soldiers carry water purification pumps to drink local water or is that too risky? Also, does every squad have a marksman, a mortar team, or a machine gunner? How many grenades and mortar rounds can be carried? And what kinds of grenades are carried; frag, white phos, stun, etc? And, roughly speaking, what determines what weapons and equipment is brought? Such as if you’re in open terrain with far visibility, does anyone really want the extra weight of carrying grenades? I understand this info might be a little sensitive if you don’t want the enemy counting mortars fired so they can predict when you will run out.

The rounds napoleonic cannons generally fired were metal balls.

One of those drag and carry bags being advertised could be adapted for military use, skids heavy duty wheels and a bottom plate.a platoon could have a couple if they warranted it.

The Duke of Marlborough got Blenheim Palace due to his logistics skills right down to the use of suspension on carts that allowed them to go cross country and avoid crowded and rutted tracks thereby outpacing and surprising the enemy. Napoleon didn't have the right horse shoes for the Russian winter causing his horses to slip, get injured and die in the ice and snow.

[@achillesrodriguezxx3958]

Vietnam era load out was the best. M56 webbing, a flak jacket and pants. Shirts were optional.
