Funfact, in modern french, for some reason, "passer l'arme à gauche" (17:15) has become (somewhat dated) slang for "to die".

[@capandball]

I did not know that, thanks!

[@cbroz7492]

..any connection to..."pass the dutchie on the left hand side"???

[@steveshoemaker6347]

lt is always my pleasure to get to watch one of you fine Gun videos.....Thanks my friend from an old F-4 Phantom ll fighter jet pilot Shoe🇺🇸

Great content. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure of discovery.

[@spitfireraf8646]

Unless fighting a skirmish line it's safe to say they would be aiming at large targets of densely packed men or cavalry so it's impact may be more then it looks !! Great video

That is a harness makers stitching horse . I use one for hand stitching in the shop. I am a harness and saddle maker.

[@herr-jaeger]

Is this beautiful mousqueton a repro ? I know that pedersoli has made a 1786 but it seems not available anymore

[@capandball]

It is an original.

[@herr-jaeger]

@@capandball You lucky man ;)

[@robertrobert7924]

I wish I had bought the repro when it was available. I enjoyed this 3 part series very much.

[@jeffpotter6392]

Good video as usual.

[@jordanezell5132]

You are amazing!

[@guillaume7645]

Love from south of France ! I'm happy to know you, and, in same time, so sad, because today, everyone hates firearms and History in general. Nobody thinks it's firsts they make their free. I'm sorry to my pour english, but i wish u know what i mean. See you later. Guillaume.

[@ronmcelroy9293]

Another wonderful video production! Thank you again for the time and effort you put into these videos. Is the musketoon you have there an original or a reproduction?

[@capandball]

It is an original piece.

[@stevewright3154]

Well done , great video as usual, what is the lady saying on the plate behind you with the mating deer on ?

[@Tammy-un3ql]

Nice

Wow!!!❤

[@user-ib4qj5tj1g]

Very Interesting thank you for the Ballistics Chart 116gr (7,5 Gram) of 1 1/2F Swiss is a Hefty charge for such a light carbine of only around 3,3kg I am wondering however what is the Red and the blue line in the Chart?

[@capandball]

One is energy in Joules one is velocity in meters per sec

THAT WOODEN HORSE IS A LEATHER STITCHING HORSE

[@keithmoore5306]

what do you need a stitching pony for? i don't know about you but i don't care all that much for the newer ballistic gelatin, it's harder to aim at different points with the new clearer stuff when you're trying to compared different loads against each other in the same block!

[@capandball]

I make my own leather gear. All these were made by me: www.patreon.com/posts/water-bottle-101682030

[@keithmoore5306]

that was meant more as a sarcastic comment than serious, i know full well the only reason someone would have a specialized tool like that is if they're doing a lot of leather work! i just hope you have better prices and availability over there than we do over here!

[@maxtugger1859]

Hussar ! 🙌🫡

[@oddrocket2743]

How did they measure muzzle velocity in the 1700's to get the 470 meters per second?

[@capandball]

Velocity of projectiles was measured and calculated with ballistic pendulum; a procedure invented by Benjamin Robins is the first decades of the 18th century. Hi treatise - New Principles of Gunnery - was first published in 1742 and established a reasonably accurate experimental and mathematical solution for calculating the velocity of a projectile impacting the pendulum. The method is simple: a bullet is fired into the bullet catch of the pendulum transfers its momentum to the bob. The momentum of the projectile is calculated from the amplitude of the pendulum swing.

[@oddrocket2743]

@@capandball Thank you! Very interesting method!

[@iobey]

Sorry that my comments keep disappearing. I just want to ask is the Musketoon better than the Prussian M1809.

[@iobey]

I mean the carbine version.

[@ENIGMAXII2112]

It has happend to me as well... The "disappearing" comments. Very interesting...

oh that happens to more than you!! i bet at least 40% if not half or more of mine do!!!
