I hate that there are no video's about old style grenades exploding, there's nothing about the napoleonic grenades. no detailes on shrapnel effects. I really liked the video. if you can find anything on napoleonic grenades let me know :)

Awesome video! I just started metal detecting - as I live in Colorado, the chances of me finding Civil War relics here are nil. However, I’ve watched a lot of videos back East. They routinely recover Civil War and older relics. As of yet I have note seen a single 1800’s vintage grenade recovered. I’m enjoying your channel, thank you!
@MilitariaReviewed3 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have been metal detecting for almost a decade, it is a very enjoyable hobby. I’ve seen a few Ketchum grenades recovered back in the day but items that big don’t come out of the ground much anymore.

I would think that throwing them with any force would cause the plunger to contact the inside of the outer casing causing it to detonate before it even left your hand.

I think with 1770s technology, and a blunderbuss, you could make a riveted, cast iron missle, launched from the end of the Blunderbuss. The tip just has a cigar Fuze, inside a little cage, and a metal gasket, that, on impact, dumps the cigar into the powder charge.. and all black powder, propellant, and charge.. although separated. It would just have a firework fuze and a simple nozzle for the rocket, and jammed in the end of the bell with wax. It would be a 《) shape of sorts, although longer... it could have fins too, if it protruded from the barrel, without falling out... which could be remedied by a longer projectile into the barrel... so it would be an RPG. The gun would fire, and then, the ballistic missle would fire, and go straight into that captains cabin, picture it! At night Grenadiers are like the original special forces, from the times of Prussian mercenaries... The oldest way is to just make a cast iron ball, and drill out the inside, and fill with powder, and a fuze, which could be cloth wrapped around powder like a cigar... That's from the time of Attilla the Hun

Hey great video. I was wondering if you could do a video on operation paperclip. It takes place towards the end of WW2, when the Germans where losing, and USA and the allies started hunting down Nazi scientists so they could use them to make (at the time) Advanced missiles and I think other weapons but that’s all I know. If you don’t want to do the video that’s fine, I just find it very interesting to think about.
@MilitariaReviewed3 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I can definitely try to do something on that at some point. I used to live in a city where they brought some of the paperclip scientists.

Not that many people on this video tho U need to make more videos about topics most history buffs like me like to watch look up mark Felton productions and focus on stuff that he does and keep it to ww1 and ww2 also focus on topics people want to watch like guns, tanks, planes, trains, ships, etc and U will get a lot of views homie!
@MilitariaReviewed3 жыл бұрын
Appriciate the advice. I try to make videos on a variety of conflicts and topics even if they may not have the mass appeal that WW1 and WW2 have. Really it’s just whatever is interesting to me at the moment. One of the reasons I started my channel was to talk about things that no one else really was. I find a lot of history youtubers follow the “wunderwaffe of the week” format which gets old after a while IMO.
