Large unwieldy chunks of steel moving equally large cartridges loaded with black powder, a magic era that was too short lived. Excellent animation as always

Agreed, there is something comical about these big black powder rounds. I think it was because no one wanted to clean the fouling out afterwards :)
Nice undestandable video for one very clever mechanism.

Guns are not difficult to make, but the hard part is to make bullets.

I assume you refer to the cartridge as a whole. Casting the bullet is rather easy, as well as making the propellent (black powder) and primer powder. The difficult part is the casing.

Wow, so box magazines were used on 1870 bolt action rifles?

This is a 70/87. It was paired with a box magazine in 1887, and originally wouldve had a tube mag and elevator

the Italian vetterli which this is was a single shot rifle when it was adopted by the Italians in 1870 and later in 1887 as weapons technology progressed they converted them to repeaters by adding a 4 shot magazine to them as a stop-gap until they could adopt a new rifle which would be the carcano
