For anybody who is interested in Rever0311's channel here it is youtube.com/@revere0311?feature=share Also, please bear with the sound of the birds in the background. I had to turn the air conditioner off in the studio so that you could hear me And whenever I did this I opened the door not realizing there was a nest on the porch right next to the microphone lol
It does not get any better than this. I doubt that a college professor of history could have delivered a better lecture on the subject as you did today. Bravo, Ethan Woods. . . . I tip my Tricorne to you, Sir.
Very well done, guys! I'm one of the oddballs, because I really like the asthetics of the 1728s. 😂 And it's always a treat to see the Scottish Highlander pistol, too! 👍👍
@ 24:11 That stock shape calls to mind the M1754 Kommisseflinte and its M1768 replacement-both Austrian. They had a similar stock shape, and I've never gotten a satisfactory explanation of its function. I've never had the chance to try either to find out for myself by taking these out for shooting. This raises a question: Does anyone know how influential Austrian design was on the French muskets? We already know the Liechtenstein ordnance was an important influence on Gribeauval's artillery system (he was actually attached to the Austrian Army and was decorated by Maria Theresa for his services in the Seven Years' War).
Happy belated Independence Day everybody! I hope everyone got to enjoy fireworks and family during the 4th! I know that it is not really on subject, but I don't see enough channels discussing the musketoon; You could fire a big fat ball out of it or a wad of shot. Very handy! How prevalent were they?
I watched Ted Spring, who wrote several books on the F and I war get off shots every twelve seconds for three minutes and fourth five seconds, keeping all his shots on a paper plate at twenty five yards
I understand, but I can’t point to the source, that 600,000 French muskets were shipped to America It’s unlikely there were forty thousand American soldiers So not counting Dutch, Spanish, captured besses, civilian muskets fit for service that’s fifteen muskets per soldier Some dropped at a fight, some busted, some stolen, but that’s a lot of guns That’s one for every forth person in the colonies Unless my numbers are in error I noted you said a hundred and some thousand. That’s still one for every twenty citizens
I understand and can’t prove that after French loss in North America that many French muskets went in to American armories in the colonies So could we see 75 and 76 in to 77 Americans using pre 1760 models of the French guns? Even the old calfsfoot muskets, as Brits captured a lot of guns in the earlier wars between 1690 and 1743

1:09.44 Is that 1774 completely made from Rifle Shoppe parts?

Happy Independence Day!
Excellent:"! Highly informative and instructional content. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good video lots of info.
Excellent video! Happy Independence Day to you and Garrett!
I by far prefer the French muskets over the British Brown Bess. The French muskets are easy to disassemble for cleaning with a locking bayonet.
Yes 100% agree
Happy 4th of July! 'MERICAH!
Great video Ethan you put a lot of work in this video.
Happy Independence day everyone. 💣💥

Very interesting video! What in your opinion is the best quality manufacture of the French musket for Rev war? Pedersoli ?
don't worry about your prononciation of french names, we saw worst. you're even doing it good for some of them
Yeah they're towards the end. I started slipping a little bit on my pronunciation lol
In the scene at about 32 45 is that a lead ball in your ear for hearing protection? Whatever works huh
Oh and thanks for the tip on Rever0311's utube channel. I suscribed.

Farmers with pitchforks indeed
Very scary and effective pitchforks!
"England, have fun at work today!" Happy 4th.
Can you do a review on an Indian made Enfield P53 musket? Thanks.👍🏻
Could you do a video on the Spanish 1757?

Whenever I break out muzzleloader it's pretty much tradition at this point 😂 They work pretty good
I’m thinking what you would have in your haversack is food
that duke duracell feller was duke his name or was it a title ?
So the 1779 Colonial Troop muskets were used by the American navy?
To think a war was fought over and over taxation by an over reaching domineering government ...gee who'da tnk dat huh

A hundred and fifty grains time sixty men in a company times twenty four rounds comes out to thirty pounds per company… tons of powder in a battle

yes, there are instances of 1728 muskets being used by americans, for example
