In 1840 the French decide the percussion guns should be adopted across the board and not just the reserve of the elite troops and officers. For the line infantry they decide to draw inspiration from the 1837 and 1838 chasseurs carbines but perhaps a little too much inspiration. Ultimately the 1840 pattern musket was abandoned in favour of a simpler, cheaper and more rational design, the 1842.

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.
