Lorsque la plupart des nations se contentent de pistolets monocoup à percussion come arme de poing réglementaire, les plus audacieux ayants des revolvers à percussion, “La Royale” prend un tour d’avance et décide d’adopter un revolver à cartouches métalliques, breveté par Eugène Lefaucheux en 1854 et utilisant des munitions à broche brevetées par son père Casimir Lefaucheux in 1835.

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
