I wish tube locks could be found here in the US. We have plenty of Austrian rifles that were converted prior to import for the Civil War, but to find one with a tube lock is incredibly rare.

People who even know about tube locks seem incredibly rare; they always seem to get skipped over in documentaries. The progression most commonly described seems to go "matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, caplock" and that's it. Interesting that it was an Austrian innovation; along with the Girandoni rifle, they really seem to have had a thing for having their own unique designs of experimental new weapons.

well, actually the French did also the same, their drill for firing with the percussion muskets 1842 and later patterns (1853, 1857) still started with priming, i.e. placing the percussion cap onto the nipple, after which the hammer was lowered over the cap, and then pushed back onto half-cock. Only then was the musket turned over and placed to the ground in a vertical position, in order to load with cartridge and ram down the charge. This was maybe done in order to make the new drill easier to learn for troops already trained in the earlier flintlock loading procedure, or else because it was felt that fiddling about with the cap to place onto the nipple when the loading charge with bullet was already rammed home into the barrel could potentially prompt accidents when in action in close order. Anyway, this drill was quite unique in this respect, because all other armies started with loading the charge and then placing the cap onto the nipple for priming.

Thank you for the detailed history and demonstration of these firearms. I didn’t know about the tube lock, and I’m surprised it wasn’t more prevalent since it looks a lot easier to handle than the small percussion caps. Of course the development of revolvers would insure that tube locks would go out of use. I also didn’t know that the development of priming compounds was on-going with the transition to percussion caps. I often wondered why percussion caps were not invented earlier and that explains it. And I can easily imagine that the use of a fulminate as a propellant in an artillery piece did not go well! Great video!

More reliable leads to increased rate of fire overall from a unit, so kind of faster but only when considering how misfires slow you down. Also safer, as it reduces the risk of someone double loading a musket after a misfire and then getting ignition on the second attempt.

Some of the American channels have been testing the accuracy of smooth bore muskets. The best accuracy combination kind of defies logic. One would think that a tightly patched round ball would be the most accurate, but turns out it is not. The best accuracy came from the ball being placed directly on the powder with a wad material over top it, to keep it compressed. The theory is that the gasses from the charge keep the ball centered in the bore. Groups tended to be tighter when the gun was fired in this manner. Maybe you could try testing various powder, ball, patch and wad combinations to see what your end results are for accuracy.

@gabrielmendella
@gabrielmendella Жыл бұрын
quite interesting, this mirrors what was usually done with the loading drills of most armies, we tend to think that they just threw the open cartridge into the barrel as it was, but actually soldiers were taught to first reverse the cartridge in order to shake all the powder into the barrel, then reverse it and push it into the barrel bullet-end first, with the paper tube on top. Ramming down the charge would effectively push the paper tightly onto the top of the bullet as a sort of wad, as you said, thus avoiding too much gas to escape around the bullet. Too often we tend to assume that people back then were unaware of the basics of ballistics, they were not! Most officers were in fact hunters (and a few soldiers too), they knew how to use firearms to the best effect, and the loading drills were really meant to get the best from the men both in terms of speed, safety, and accuracy. In combat of course not everything went by the book, or as well as on the drill square, but this applies to every epoch, even today! When we say that flintlocks were inefficient because they only hit their marks one out of 200 or even 453 times, we tend to forget that in modern combat the actual hitting ratios are much lower than that!

So a difference, in terms of ignition with the percussion rifle is that you have to keep replacing the caps instead of the gunpowder in the pan and one directly ignites the main charge through the touch hole in the nipple reaching the main charge in the bridge of the barrel? Can someone please clarify my accuracy in this or not i’m learning about this through the Sepoys’s rebellion between the British and the Indians and they got really interested in. How rifle work now. I’m referring to the difference using 2:45-3:07 and 8:04-10:05.

My one issue unless it was in your nation's drill manual, you do NOT remove the cap until you have reloaded, it keeps any embers in the breech from flaring up when air is exposed, if you remove the cap before reloading, the sudden draft could heat embers up and ignite your load before you ram the cartridge.

And even if it isn't completely stuck a soldier would waste time and energy from pulling the ramrod out of a tight channel, perhaps it's one of the reason jaegers carry ramrods in their bandoliers instead of their rifles?

Cool to see the tubelock in action. I've only ever seen one in a book about arms and equipment used by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War, some were imported for use during the ACW. I don't think they were ever as prevalent as cap locks and were probably more rare then flintlocks in that conflict Don't think I've ever seen anyone put a percussion cap on the nipple before loading the charge. I've always been taught to load, leaving the hammer down on the spent cap, then prime with a new cap.

Don't you think high risk of detonation with the first version version of the lock, is playing a larger role? Hand made, not interchangeable parts, was the norm. And they where very good at it. The labour was cheap, but the material was more expensive. History tells us they did a lot of changes with the old muskets, everywhere. For example; I got a 1774 Kronborg (danish) where the flintlock was made into percussion 1841, and in 1851, the original barrel was rifled. So in other words, they upgraded 75 year old muskets. The risk of detonation described with the first version, is in my view a greater reason. Military equipment must always be made as close to fool proof as possible.
