Arriving to the final part of the Mississippi series. As next week I won’t be able to post a video (I am participating the Muzzle Loading World Championshiops in Valeggio, Iraly), this one is double in time. So fasten seat belts, open a can of beer. 50 minutes of black powder. This film covers quite a few topics: the riflemen drill and tactics in 1840-50s in the US Army, the ballistics of the Mississippi rifle, the recreation of the original muzzle velocity of the .525 roundball, answers the question what happens to the patch tied to the roundball, and follows the history of the rifleman accoutrements until the introduction of the M1855 rifle musket.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
