@@georgeno812 Well George, perhaps someone else is more qualified than me can answer your question. I'm an American with ancestral ties to Great Briton. I'll assume there is no difference between Britons and British regarding the island of Briton. Although I will submit to you "being British" is a sense of national pride / loyalty.
That's called a falling block, used by quite a few different rifles. You lower the breach, load the round, patch, and charge from the rear, then raise the breach, then fire. It uses a matchlock to ignite the charge (That's the wick you see on the side).
Why? Perfectly practical weapon in the 1600's, just as common as firearms at the time and a lot more reliable, used mainly both for engaging OTHER pikemen and for fending off cavalry attacks
@@kristofantal8801 Its obvious that its a MkIV. Just look at 4:00, you can see the breech block. Of course they have been restocked to look like 17th century Arquebus
midnight teapot Thank you ! I Back in the 1980’s my husband and I helped as riding instructors with the newly formed Light Cavalry Squadron of the HAC. The first time the newly mounted Squadron took part in the Lord Mayor’s Show , I walked beside them the whole route to check saddles, bridles,etc. Arriving at St. Paul’s Cathedral with the Mounted Band of the Household Cavalry playing Aida was one of the most thrilling moments of my life.....🥰🤩🥰🤩
Their kit seems rather outdated, not in a sense that its from the 17th century thats obvious, but more that its just not up to date from a accuracy wise perspective. Stuff like using suspenders instead of hooks or aiglets to hold up the breeches by attaching them to the doublet is just not good enough anymore.
if anyone in the comments in in london on Sunday (26/01/2020) the English civil war society is doing a march along the mall. come and see what the more typical soldier looked like at the time!

Incorrect. While those are the most senior regiments in the British Army, the HAC is the oldest regiment in the Army and the 2nd most senior regiment in the Army Reserve.
Shame the falling band ( shirt Collar) is wrong. Oh, and the buttons on the coat cuff. Oh and the musket looks like a combo, of a matchlock and what appears to be a breach loader. Oh and the buff-coats. Oh and the velcro on the breaches. Oh and the spectacles. Oh and the Captain's neck doily. If it is fancy dress for the Lord Mayors Show, please don't say it is authentic.
They have a number of muskets. They normally carry matchlocks...but if they are going to be doing a salute with gunfire they have martini actions...which are simpler to load. Also they have different quality of musket depending on the weather....if it is raining for the LMS they use a lower quality as it is going to be wet all day and the crowd don't get too close...
I bet you one thing... you don’t know that. Also, regardless, what does Brexit have to do with this? You are just trying to use this to further your own political agenda on these men by assigning them, with no evidence, political opinions.
@@ni642 I don't think anyone is disputing your right to have your own opinions, more whether it was necessary to share it when it was not related to the video, especially when brexit is such a hot topic right now. There are other, better places to discuss brexit - this is not it.

Fascinating. Lovely to see these old traditions being kept up.
For anyone wondering, the Lord mayor of London is not the same as the Mayor of London. The City of London is not the same as what we know of London

Omg.

It's just occurred to me , what a brilliant solution to riot control a phalanx of 18 foot Pikemen.
the tercios figured it out also

4:13 that musket looks like it has a martini Henry action
Maybe it does but the originals would've been matchlocks
hmmm
It does indeed lol

9:57 What is a Basel Carnival Clique doing there?
Why doe's the musket the guy at 4:12 have what looks suspiciously like the breech block of a Martini-Henri rifle?
They had breech loading matchlocks back then.
The fact they have Pikemen kills me

Work damned well against cyclists
11:05 my god that posture
Who needs Kevlar...
Love those Pikemen. Is recruitment ex officers and RSM + 'handshake' only ?
Interesting kit...
Why? Historically authentic (mid 17th century) clothes, armours and weapons. That unit is a traditional ceremonial type of company.
@@kristofantal8801 yes the historically authentic 17th century Martiny Henry rifle hahahaha

did the band play "angry men"?

Does anyone know what song this is 10:50
'Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men' isn't it?

Is it just me or is the arquebus looked like a breech loder conervert arquebus? The back end looked like a martini henry to me.

@サイレントボイス so are reenactors. What does being old have to do with anything
...OR USING MODERN EYEGLASSES...
That's so cool though :0
Am I the only guy to find out that their match lock musket is actually a Martini Henry?
nope
Jeez everyone here doesn't know jack about firearms. They had breech loading matchlocks back then.
I wish we still used hussars/Cavelry in warfare :(

They aren't called the twelve apostles, that is a Victorian invention.

I would imagine the Musketeer would know more, seeing as it's his profession
The originals probably a lot more ruff and not royalist
The british are coming! The british are coming!
Well, English.
He never said the British are coming he said the redcoats are coming as most citizens in the colonies considered themselves and were british
Windsor Monarchist if only we still used cavalry in wars
Basically it's a private members club for ex officers.
Wait what? Those aren't muskets, they're Martini Henrys made to look like muskets!
They had breech loading matchlocks back then do some research this is like the 10th comment I've seen now.
All very wealthy.
Question, if those leather coats protect the musketeers from messing their uniforms, why's the drummer wearing one too?
They need to work on staying in sync
Make London English again!

The oldest regiment of the british army is the Coldstream or grenadiers guard...
Incorrect. While those are the most senior regiments in the British Army, the HAC is the oldest regiment in the Army and the 2nd most senior regiment in the Army Reserve.
You heard the man narrating say when the HAC originated, a century before the Guards Regiments.
Seniority is done by continuous service rather than just the oldest ones.
