@christopherreed4723 2 года назад

Tube locks never really made an impression in the US before they were superseded by percussion cap locks. It's that blistering pace of firearms development again. As soon as someone saw the potential of the newly-discovered metal fulminate compounds, they tried several ways of using them to prime firearms. I think the first were pill or pellet locks...slip a pellet of priming compound the size of the glass head of a pin into the lock, drop the hammer, and bingo...reliable, all-weather ignition. Almost immediately people started putting the priming compound into little metal tubes to improve reliability and safety. And before the ink on the patents for those tube locks was dry, others tried putting the priming compound into little top-hat shaped caps made of copper or brass foil, and the tube lock became obsolete. France and Austria were closest to the source of tube-lock development and jumped on it. Everyone wanted something better than flintlocks for military use. Britain may have tested some tube-lock designs, but ultimately settled on the percussion cap when it appeared. The US, even farther away (and with a severely limited military budget) ultimately changed their Hall rifles (a firearm a really wish someone made a good replica of) from flintlock to percussion just before the Mexican War got going in the 1840s.

6:52 That Cartidge on the left, with the cardboard Pull Tab is quite interesting too. That round Hole held a standard Primer Cap, rather than Tube Cap. After pressing it on the Nipple, the Soldier pulled the Tab off via that Slot, then used the Tab which extended down into the Powder section (bottom shape unknown) to tear open the Paper, in order to pour out the Powder !

@Flederratte 2 года назад

Very nice video! It is always a pleasure to watch your content :) Beautiful rifle and great telling of history. I like the amount of detail and even footage from inside the barrel. Is the corn not necessary to fill the air gap between the powder and the base of the bullet if the volume of powder does not completely fill the chamber because the chamber is strong enough? Or because the gap is very minimal? I really enjoyed the comparison of original bullets with your fired bullets as well as the historical drawings and the great detail of your ballistic measurements. Also as feedback for the future: I notice a very high frequency noise in the background of the complete scene where you roll the cartridge beginning at 7:11 lasting all the way until 10:19. Then it appears again from 11:03 to 11:55. Maybe you can not hear it but please try to avoid it in future audio. It really is unpleasant to hear even at low audio volume because it is such high frequency. A similar background noise appears from 20:38 to 21:53. As well as 22:06 to 23:28 and 23:34 to 25:09 and 33:52 to 34:08. However mixed with the different background sounds of the environment the high frequency noise is not as disturbing.
