Let's not forget that these are films, and as such they are meant to be entertaining. For the most part muskets were levelled, not aimed, with no allowance for range. This, combined with the fog of gunsmoke and other factors such as misfires, resulted in an actual hit rate under battle conditions of around 2% or less. This is how you got veterans of several campaigns and old soldiers in general. Most battles were decided by moral, not casualties.

@@siazonmarcusr.9434 They could, and they would. What Barry Lyndon did there was potentially a court martial offence. Unless ordered to pick up a wounded NCO, one is not supposed to leave one's position without orders. A junior naval officer on the USS Chesapeake was court-martialed for the very same thing in the early 19th century, and his family struggled to get his named cleared even over 100 years later. Imagine what would happen if everyone decided to break formation to pick up wounded comrades? That's part of the reason why the inane argument that it is better to wound enemy combatants than kill them outright is a myth. No trained or disciplined soldier would break off the fight without orders to tend to the wounded until the threat is resolved. Every military force in this world trains its soldiers to neutralise the threat _then_ aid the wounded. Wounding one man just takes him out of the fight, but depending on how badly you wound him. Killing him guarantees he won't trouble you again until Judgement Day.

Not really. That is a popular misconeption. Most armies at the time tried to minimize the exchange of fire. The Caroleans for example had a very strong focus of hand to hand combat. The entire swedish warmachine were built for that purpose. The same with the redcoats, they were very fast and agile on the battlefield. At the time, only about 2% of the shots fired hit their targets so a lengthy exchange of shots on open grounds would in addition to the casualites and disorder it bring also mean shortage in powder and shot. And artillery for that matter. And lack of powder could mean the end of a campaign.

The british actually did the science to determine how many steps a soldier could take while the enemy was reloading. Everyone firing at once can be devastating but there is a lag while reloading which allows the enemy to close. Most effective would be to fire by ranks as portrayed in the film Zulu. That way you keep the enemy under constant fire.

The way each faction are colored and the way each platoon are set up in perfect rectangular shaped form just looks unique. It also must be extremely horrifying and stress.

For those who asks why they waited to be fired and some other questions. It was considered that firing a volley the second has some tactic advantages: instead of reloading you can send men in charge right after they shot, and the enemy line would not be ready by the time they meet. Moreover seeing your mates being killed makes you more angry so you charge with more ferocity. Why would they stay in lines? Three main reasons: low accuracy, managing troops and morale. People standing shoulder to shoulder tend to feel more... comfortable.

It's how humans fought for thousands of years, pretty much up until WWI. You can't really tell what's happening when you're in a large battle with thousands of people on both sides. There's too much dust, smoke, shouting, banging, etc. This means you're wide open to get body slammed by a 900 pound animal, ridden by a guy who wants you dead, who then tramples you to death, all out of fucking nowhere. For most of human history, battles were basically giant games of "Chicken," where the side who lost their nerve first was ran down by cavalry. To get around this problem of communication and defending yourself from mounted enemies, you need close-knit formations. By standing close together, you can hear the instruments and songs of your unit that give audio cues of what you're supposed to be doing. Your unit's standard (or flag) is used to communicate with leaders who can see what's happening from afar above all the dust and smoke. It also turns out horses really don't like running into walls of sharp metal, and their riders really don't like getting flung from their mounts. Bayonets, pikes, and spears serve this function and it only works if you have groups of troops standing together. If one guy with a spear tries to stop a horse, the horse isn't going to give a shit and you'll likely get killed by the rider anyway. If ten guys with spears try to stop a single horse, that horse isn't going anywhere near them. This all changes with the invention of barbed wire, chemical weapons, machine guns, aircraft, radio/telegraph, and artillery that can hit targets 45 miles away. With WWI, battles no longer became questions of morale and cavalry maneuvers, but the question of how many troops your side actually killed and not just captured or routed.

As Keith wortelhock said, there was only a 2% chance of you hitting someone, it was on the late 1700s and early to mid 1800s where you started seeing muskets actually hit heir target, since then they started shoving musket balls the size of the barrel down then barrel, before musket balls would rattle down the barrel. Remember. 1860s is where you started seeing armies use rifling and bullets, the American civil war was deadly because they were still using linear warfare with very accurate weapons.

Bullshit. If you aim, even with an undersized ball in an old smoothbore musket (remember that 'undersize' is very rapidly going to close up to just be 'size', if you've ever shot black powder guns) you can hit a mansized target at 50 yards reliably and 100 yards with good chance. Multiply that by a formation. The real issue is the chaos and smoke. You volley all at once otherwise you can't see shit, and even then you may not be able to see shit. The improvement wasn't the rifle but expanding bullets that could be loaded with loose tolerances (necessary for black powder, see above) but then still have a tight fit on the rifling grooves once fired. Then you'd be right that everything got proportionately that much deadlier. Muskets get a bad rap, there's a reason they were so prized by everyone who first got access to them

One of the things you really miss in these reproduction videos is just how bad visibility was on these battlefields. Modern firearms fire smokeless powder, but these powders were not widely available until almost 20 years after the American Civil War.

For the video of the battle of Poltava, that is not how it went down. The Swedish army at that time had a tactic called 'Go Po' essentially to win by charging before the enemy had a chance to fire twice - once at the maximum range where it had the worst hit rate, and before a second or third shot closer up. The idea was to get into melee where the mixed rifle, bayonet and pike combo of the Swedish army would win the day, like it did many times. With Poltava the Russians had built several armored squares (as we see on the initial part of the battle) and by the time they fought beyond those, the Swedish army was so mauled that it couldn't win a charge. They were basically slaughtered trying. What we see is wrong. They didn't stop within 25 feet of the other army, fired and waited for them to fire their volley. That might be true of some other nations battles - but not Sweden and not during that time period. anyways, just a small correction. Russia found a great way to defeat the Go Po tactic and after that Swedens small empire crumbled and I believe that type of tactic was abandoned.

The movies are bad depictions of line battles, and for one, there was no “wait your turn”. They fired in volleys to hit things past 100 yards, since muskets weren’t accurate. They stood in lines so everyone could shoot at once by being able to see. They stood close together to protect against cavalry. And they used music to issue commands among the large lines.

A cool fact that the Russian v Sweden part gets somewhat incorrect: it’s become a more popular idea that line infantry rarely charged each other head on with bayonets as no one is wearing armor except maybe cavalry, so everyone would just be slaughtered. Yes charges occurred, but they were more likely to result in one side running away before people actually started bayoneting each other. Again, not to say it never happened, but that it doesn’t appear to be the goal to get into extended melee with the other side, but instead to take the ground
@patrickaalfs9584

Iv'e also have heard that bayonet charges were seldom used because they were very unpopular with soldiers. However, there is a huge and consistent catalogue of primary source material produced by the army provosts apposing Sweden during the reign of Charles XII. They all report that Swedish forces habitually advanced quickly with bayonets at the ready to within 50 meters without firing.. Each rank would fire a single volley followed by a full charge without reloading, This was so well documented because conventional military practitioners were attempting to develop adequate countermeasures to defend against Sweden. The assaults were usually executed so quickly that mass artillery had no time to deployed. These tactics seldom resulted in huge bayonet related casualties because frankly, the defenders were often compelled to bolt. At Poltava, they used bayonets extensively but they were responsible for very few battle deaths. Casualty reports at the time would only include a primary cause of death, Non mortal battle casualties gave no specific information except name and date of wound or date of capture.

Here is why war was fought like this. Quick history lesson: 1. Guns were smoothbore in this period, meaning there was no rifling in the barrel. The bullet would wobble through the barrel and go into a random direction, being pretty inaccurate. So the best way of killing the enemy was to all fire at once like a line of shotguns. 2. Bullets were spherical, also adding to how poorly accurate they were. So once again "just everyone shoot at once". 3. Tight formations gave Officers/Generals where everyone was, so they could command the battle. Also it prevented heavy cavalry charges that could SMASH through if they were too loosely formation. 4. Also, usually the method was to do maybe a few volleys, fix bayonets, then charge. So you drop the front row of your enemy, then charge right after before they have a chance to reload and fire. These guns took a solid 20 seconds to reload (if you were good at loading). Now imagine trying to beat that time, but you're in panic mode as the enemy is charging with bayonets. Good luck with that. 5. As the 19th century began, rifling became more standard in muskets. Also the invention of the Minie Ball bullet was introduced which was pointy and more like the bullets we have today. So now instead of hitting 40 yards, now you could hit over 100 yards easily. Also the percussion cap was invented, making battle in the rain much easier and less prone to misfiring. Hence why the Civil War was a damn slaughterhouse. Using this video's tactics, BUT now everyone basically has sniper rifles.

Вам не видать таких сражений!.. Носились знамена, как тени, В дыму огонь блестел, Звучал булат, картечь визжала, Рука бойцов колоть устала, И ядрам пролетать мешала Гора кровавых тел. Изведал враг в тот день немало, Что значит русский бой удалый, Наш рукопашный бой!.. Земля тряслась - как наши груди, Смешались в кучу кони, люди, И залпы тысячи орудий Слились в протяжный вой…

its crazy how bad battles are protrayed in movies. Just google the battles and you'll see that the numbers of fallen soldiers are often quite low. Also the accuracy of muskets is not soo good that half of the enemies row will fall
