For some VERY odd reason KZbin removed my previous friendly comment...? Very strange.. Try again... In much happiness you produced a full talk/ video series about these Lovely pieces Sir. Thank you Greatly...

[@SNOUPS4]

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"???

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]

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

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

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.

[@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!

[@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...
