@@Bgh583 It’s all very impressive to the people there watching them. It’s probably something those people have never seen before, or it’s something that appeals to them.
@@kinggeorgeiii7515 to the few it may be impressive, but for us who have served in the millitary and did stupid Sunday parades and God knows only how many stunts with our m1 Garand or m95, this doesn't come off as impressive. They are not coordinated enough. Their rhythm is chaotic. I have seen these types of reenactments before in oxford and in Dallas. They were impressive because they actually acted out as a functional millitary unit would. Their timing was on point. So I will stand my ground and say it agian, nothing about this is impressive.
Emperor Mr B Really... that's the question I get... Why would they shoot real musket balls, they are a reenactment organisation by law they cannot fire real bullets, they only pour powder in the pan and down the barrel for the noise and smoke, they did not use ram rods so they obviously are not loading any shot.
Oh wow, that's really prussian looking. The normal British drill doesn't look that prussian, is the drill different? Also very, very well done. German reenactors are shit.
According to the drill manuals, the British Army adopted the Prussian methods while the Duke of York was Commander in Chief during the 1790s, and it lasted until the 1820s I believe
