Video

What a great video. I just got my India pattern brown bess, and I was digging for information but not until I discovered this video and all my questions has been answered. Thank you.

That was somewhat interesting...

Been watching your videos awhile now and they are first rate every one of them. I just picked up a P-H Volunteer rifle recently and was happy to find that you had done a video on it.

Can you please do more battles like this! This series has been a masterpiece and it would be great if you would do battles from other wars

What country and uniform are you portraying?

You need a more classic brown leather pouch for your rangefinder

Sorry but Mary Secole did nothing for the wounded soldiers at best she ran an officers club at worst she was a profiteer. If she was not black or half white Jamaican woman, she would be forgotten to history. I have had correct both my grandkids and their teachers, one of whom admitted quietly that they had to go along with the Secole BS for the sake of their careers.

Great series, thanks!

Having only recently discovered your channel (via bloke) I am working my way through your content, which is all fantastic, but this one has just blown me away. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

17:27 I swear, if I didn't know beforehand that this was greenscreen, I would have assumed you had a twin brother.

7:08 I noticed that this is the generation when service rifles begin to add top barrel shrouds instead of leaving it exposed.

Dear Mr British Muzzleloader, a question: were guns of this time and circumstance afforded the opportunity to have worke-up loads, or did you purchase a card box of cartridges and got what you got, with associated variable accuracy dependent on how each individual gun enjoyed said ammo? I'm guessing the latter, but would appreciate your insight. Thank you, nice video series, Gus.

Nice 👍🏽

To their great credit, the British soldier always excels despite the sheer incompetence and disregard of their officers and leadership. May their endurance and bravery be forever remembered. Great video, great uniform work too!

BATTLE OF ECCLES HILL: Americans: Wait, how many times did we invade Canada? FURTHER INFO: "Across the Chickabiddy Creek..." Americans: Ok, now he's just making things up....

An excellent series on the history and technology of the era, Thank you.

Excellent stuff sir. I was particularly struck by the results of shooting at the "Fenian" targets, most of the hits would have been disabling rather than fatal, which does reflect the casualties reported for Eccles Hill.

This series was definatly interesting.

Another excellent vid with top turnout, locations, photo's, people and shooting. Very interesting series which has taught me about a historical event I wasn't very aware of.

75th

A great wrap up to the series. Excellent content BM. Thank you.

I had one. The 'zero creep' was total BS. The thing was shit because of its BAD recoil, big muzzle blast/flash. OK, I was never a soldier , but that thing no civilian would want, despite the fact that the. 303 British was a very good cartridge

To me the Fenian cannon has the look of being made in a modest but competent engineering workshop keeping within its capability to manufacture rather than from a normal artillery factory. Looks like a decent effort but I doubt if it had more than solid shot to fire. Was it rifled? Well done all those involved in the making of this little series.

Beautiful part of the world.

must of been a real challenge to make(one of the biggest you have done) / the ranges you shoot at blows my mind /

Really too bad the Irish were told to stop. From my understanding they were actually "winning" quite a bit.

Fantastic very informative thanks for sharing with us

Excellent video. Brings a historical engagement to life in a fascinating and innovative way.

Hi. I was wondering if it’s possible to do a video on the Martini-Enfield rifle. Also, will you try to branch off into the sidearms of the British Empire such as the Webley or Adams revolvers? Do take care of yourself Rob. Happy Father’s Day too.

your channel is brilliant. Even more informative than documentary in BBC

Time for a whiskey break mate

my guess is that the cannon is a one of. Bubba got a old gun and tried to modernise it. Do the shell fit a cannon at the time or was that too made by a unknown maker.

BRAVISSIMO!! Well done, ALL!! And many thanks from me and mine for the history lesson. We appreciate the time and effort involved in creating this reenactment and study.

Good morning! Gonna take another coffee and enjoy the show! Thank you very much for sharing!👍👍👍👍

Big blobs of lead have significant penetration, I imagine that 2-3 rows of meat targets.would have been affected by each shot

That smaks of bad conversions or possibly sabotage

I love seeing you in the red coat and pipe clay 👍👍

A wonderful wrap out in the field. I loved it. Thank you.

I’ve just been reading about William Walker, the American adventurer who took over Nicaragua in the 1850s. He was part of a wider “filibuster” movement that sought to conquer Latin American countries. This had some support in the American public and even in Congress. Overall , the idea was very controversial. The Fenian project could be thought of as a “northern” filibuster, again with some public support among the American people. It had recent precedent, however outrageous it sounds 150 later.

Thank you very much for giving us a new video after a long time🎉🎉🎉

Your Snyder got a nice workout. Well done!

#301 My opinion is from the American perspective, but this series has been very illuminative. Prior to your series, my perspective of the Fenian story was the very stereotype "drunk Irishman try to invade Canada and are repelled by unprepared farmers," but these videos have been very informative of the reality of what was going on in both camps.

Outstanding! Thank you , very much, the firearms was awesome ‘ to see in the the actual ammo that would have greeted them made it real ! Very well done!

Hey Rob I might be asking for too much but would you do a video about British arms in foreign service, or more specifically the muzzle loading Enfield that are sold to the Kingdom of Siam around the time of king Rama IV or breech loading rifles such as the Snider-Enfield during the time of king Rama V. I understand if you are not able to do that and you don’t have to if you don’t want to; as I don’t want to let’s say put stress on you but I would appreciate it if you do.

My Grandaddy didn’t come across the border until 1920 after WW1 and his Daddy and G-Daddy was across the Ottawa River in Eardley around that time. Still incredible to think of the battle of the reasons behind it. Thanks Rob and everyone involved!

Good Evening Sir, That is Truly OUTSTANDING Historical Informative Video 👍😇🧐Cheers 🍻

Interesting as always. Thank you!

Fascinating sir, thanks for this supplement!

very nice wrap up
