Excellent job gentleman ... top notch ! Lloyd outdid himself . His narrative over the sound of the battle in the background brought to stark reality the scene , I could almost feel the rifle in my hands , and smell the smoke , hear the ululating cry of the enemy as they rushed the line . Steady on ! Load and fire , load and fire . Incidentally , I took my first deer , at the age of eight , with a SMLE , .303 caliber . Excellent rifle .

We went from one shot a minute to one every ten seconds Then, nearly a shot every seconds To now, 800 shots a minute and even more ! Now you can imagine the amount of firepower each soldier have in his hands !

Shame Lindybeige doesn't know what he's on about 90% of the time

[@TchaikovskyFDR]

I think he gives a quite broad range of information that other channels, like this, can go more in-depth upon. He's a terrific lad.

[@muwuny]

It would be fine if he just gave surface level information about a wide range of historical stuff, but the majority of the time he just gives out disinfo and repeats incorrect rumours and historical myths, especially involving modern history and firearms, just look at the absolute shitshow that his "bren vs spandau" video was. He should either get better knowledge of what he speaks about, or focus on what he knows already.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

He did a great Churchill!

[@muwuny]

Yeah, I can give him that.

[@wierdalien1]

Bomber Harris the thing with that video is that if you actually listen to what he said, his use of language being fairly nuanced, he didnt actually say anything that was wrong or even controversial. All he really said was that because of the operational similarity he will call the MG-34/42 the spandau out of simplicity and british historicalness (cannot believe how much of shit storm that created, he explained his reasoning in the video, and honestly I just rolled with it because I knew what guns he was talking about etc etc.) that the Bren gets a hard rap because it isnt belt fed but it is execllent assault weapon but because of the lack of belt it can be a bit eh on the defence, whereas the MG34/42 is the best machince gun of the war in defence but a bit of pig in assault. He wrapped the video up by saying they are almost too different compare and honestly they were execllent guns. And queue two years of moaning.

Lovely job Rob. Thank you. I suspect the easiest way they could have sped up the Martini ROF would have been a pouch that presented the rounds individually. I borrowed a 20 bore butt stock slip on set of cartridge loops for five rounds. Halved the time to load a fresh round and less awkward than the Enfield Martini trial metal magazine on the receiver. Ready use clips fixed to the stock were being offered for single shot military rifles like the Metcalfe Patent Cartridge Block.

Thanks once again Rob. Fascinating vid - science and learning all in one. Mad coincidence - I started reading The Malakand Field Force a few weeks ago. Excellent book. I always thought Churchill would write pretty dry prose but its a great book full of stirring stuff, derring do, and fascinating facts all laced with military stats. Keep up the great work mate....you, Lindy, Bloke and Forgotten Weapons are my fave creators.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thank you very much. Have you read "The River War"?

[@sandmanhh67]

Not yet mate, but as Im mad keen on the Mahdi Wars Im looking forward to it. It sounds mad but Im saving it till I can get my hands on a first edition copy, as Ive found out that large sections of the original edition text were culled so as to remove all the bad stuff Churchill wrote about Kitchener under request from the publishers prior to WW1 starting as it was seen as "bad form" to criticise one of the blokes leading Blighty against the Fritz and then died in service. The version now in common circulation is the much abridged text.... a first edition set comes as two thick volumes packed with maps and diagrams. Its not cheap, but affordable if you keep an eye on auctions ;-) Im surprised at how readable Churchill is.....I honestly thought it would be very dry reading, but he has a wonderful way of putting the reader right in the firing line or location with his vivid descriptions, and is never slow to heap praise on men who deserved it. Makes me more interested in why he thought Kitchener was a poor leader in the Sudan campaign. I like collecting stuff that goes with my guns like original history books - picked up a first edition set of Napiers "The Peninsula War" recently for a bargain price, and a couple of other long out of print books on the Napoleonic War written by soldiers on their return. They make for fascinating reading as they contain a load of detail about mundane camp life and footsoldier level observations..... in a way doing what you do on your channel.....which is why Im a fan mate. There must be something antifreeze in your Canuck blood tho mate. Us normies would be wearing a greatcoat in that rain and wind.
