The Jäger rifle and Napoleonic light infantry tactics 

This guy's amazing. He can speak in two languages at the same time!!

This guy seriosly knows his shit. Only someone who takes his profession very seriosly with love and absolute interesst can create such a video.

Might I say that this is the best of your videos, thus far. Simply superb. Length of the video is immaterial when there is quality and this has it in droves... Easily ready for television... The Eastern European context that you bring to the audience is incredibly refreshing. You do your history proud. Something that interests me is what you might call "battlefield mobility". In a future effort, I wonder if you might be able to show some moving and shooting while wearing all the kit? A small course of fire with some running back and forth, selecting different positions to load and fire from while under some sort of "duress" (provided your range will allow it). Maybe on one of your "hunting estates" in the bush???? ... For me, it brings everything together... Moving as well as shooting... A more complete "soldier's experience", perhaps one might say.. In seeing it all worn, I couldn't help but wonder how the long bayonet and ramrod would impede your progress across the battlefield, with it flopping and banging around, getting stuck in the ground as you kneel, etc.... Am I wrong in seeing somewhere the ramrod and bayonet together in one frog/scabbard? Bravo to you and "all the production staff" :-) for such a well put together video. Looking forward to your next effort. Cheers.

Imagine having to perform that complex reloading sequence in the heat of battle, while the enemy is firing at you and the bullets are whizzing past your hat. Must have been an incredibly stressful experience.

I really appreciate the English dubbing!

Great video! Impressively informative (as always), but really enjoyed seeing the firing in full uniform. It was a glance back in time.

For some reason i found it interesting hearing you speak your native language along with the translation

brilliant, the way you connected the history to the practicality of the rife to tactics really blew me away, please keep up the great work.

Very good video. A suggestion: don't use the palm of your hand to push the ramrod, because the powder charge could ignite and it will go thru your hand. I saw this happen once, at a range.

I just can't express how much I enjoyed watching this video, it's well done, top quality production and above all, very very very informative. Thanks a million.

Great! I haven't found anyone else who covers tactics and equipment in such great detail. Keep them coming!

Thank you! one of the best demonstration videos I've ever seen on Napoleonic battlefield tactics! bravo!

I love your videos and how much detail you go into about advanced tactics. So many other channels just repeat the same basic information about 18th & 19th century infantry tactics and offer little else of interest to someone curious about the intricacies of historical warfare. Thank you for the detailed info, I always learn a lot !

Very Nice! I really enjoy videos where reenactors and researchers actually demonstrate the way these rifles were really used. I look forward to seeing more from you !

Thank you for these excellent insights into Napoleonic warfare and the history of your country. I appreciate your efforts and look forward to seeing more.

I love napoleonic era warfare and tactics and this video hit the sweet spot. Hope you have more to come on this subject!

Props to you!The prone shot was very good.I really enjoy your vids!all the best to you from me in North Carolina in the U.S.

Interesting video reminds me of my childhood shooting flintlocks with my grandfather on the farm, who had a pair of mid 1800 rifles that his father kept from the land wars of my country. Last time I fired them while hunting when I was only ten years old.

Great video! The quality of the presentation and the historical information is fantastic. Well done.

I have to say, you make some fantastic videos. Both educational and interresting to watch. Keep them. Coming :D

Awesome video and so interesting in that it seems like looking back into history in how these Napoleonic era soldiers utilized their individual weapons. And I also found it interesting to see what their packs or kits contained so as to keep those soldiers able to function. Thank you.

This is exactly the kind of juicy detail I like in my history videos. Very well done.

I enjoyed this video very much. I didn't even notice the length of the video: it was as long as it needed to be.

So glad I found this channel. Fantastic job

Very well done, thanks so much for creating this video. Please keep up the good work.

Can't believe we get to relive the past to know what it was like back then. Awesome video as always, keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed the video, thanks so much for being so thorough and specific!

Great video, my friend. Good production quality and highly informative. Godspeed!

Great video. Your channel has quickly become my favorite since I have discovered it.

FINALY I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS! Thank you!!!

Very well done. Thank you for posting. The information you've conveyed is clear and concise. Just a personal observation; your movements are smooth and economical- like a well-drilled professional. I am impressed. Please keep up the good work. I didn't know the French or French Allied light infantry had rifles like the British Rifle companies did. Thank you for the education.

Awesome video. Thanks for producing it.

This is an outstanding and very informative video. Thanks for sharing this!

Your videos are really great, it's nice to see some really good european-centered gun videos.

Thank you so much for the enormous amount of effort put in the video.

Interesting history lesson, beautiful rifles and excellent shooting. As always a marvelous video.

Thanks for taking the time to put an english translation, your videos are very interesting, especially liked the lamellar amour video

Fantastic video, you put a lot of time and effort into this..

very cool to learn about a small part of history though that not many people know about for sure. thanks for sharing this.

My favorite stein says "Ein Gut Gewehr Des Jägers Ehr." I believe it means something like "a good gun is the pride of the hunter".

Very informative and well produced. I learned a lot.

Awesome video! Thank you for presenting this!

Wow, what a really interesting video this is! Authentic and a pleasure to watch, Thank you / merci.

I have an original Jager, which by the silver scrollwork on the barrel dates to somewhere around 1830's, by a Belgian maker. Thank you for this video, it's nice to see one in pristine condition.

Excellent explanations. Big thumps up!

Must have cost a great deal to get everything together for the video. Keep making more of these videos, they're really interesting.

My new favorite RU-vid channel is capandball. I am so glad to hear that shooting sports are alive and well in Hungary. I love having a European perspective on this.

Great show ! Keep them coming Please .

Nice! I like the combination of real life demonstration and historical knowledge. well done.

A great video. You really expander my knowledge on early military tactics .

Just found your videos, exceptionally educational and entertaining 😀

Excellent video and information.

Superb Job as always. Thank you and Cheers.

great instructional video, enjoyed the passion and history.

It is fascinating how we went from fire volume, to accuracy for a while, then slowly back to volume fire again.

Great demonstration. The way soldiers fought in early 19 century is so elegant.

Love this video, really nice work!

Excellent video. To load, aim, and fire must have been a highly disciplined procedure performed under the extreme stress of receiving enemy fire. Thank you for the historical perspective using actual equipment.

Awesome uniform. Having Canadian/Newfie/British heritage, red and white is set in my mind as the classic colours of Napoleonic era soldiers, as well as earlier of course, save for the green of the riflemen at the time, but the blue and green looks pretty awesome. What a hat! Looks a bit more sensible than the funny looking shako thing the Brits used.

this channel is better than porn glad to have found your amazing and extensive content

Great video, very well made very interesting!

I love this channel. Thank you.

Excellent presentation.

I love researching the napoleonic wars, special forces, and sharpshooting so this video is my Graceland.

awesome video! very well put together and has excellent information that is entertaining to hearthat Hungarian uniform is really neat looking

keep up this level of quality and you could have your own tv show.

Love the videos and all the information

Outstanding video

Awesome vid and channel.

The loading sequence makes me remember a humorous story from Bruce Catton's 'Army of the Potomac' trilogy. A soldier was so worried about running away in his first battle that he asked his captain to keep an eye on him. During their first fight the captain remembered his promise and checked on the soldier. The captain found the private calmly loading-and the private seeing the captain smiled and asked in his heavy New England accent "Powda goes in fust, right?"

excellent job on this

thank you... thank you for being an amazing historic person and not just saying something for bias. all things said in this had its points and does not feel like a modern documentary what ALWAYS gives off a really really uneven bias. You actually show why and even if some of this was false, you still have my great respects due to your detail and research

I love this video. I had to watch it again.

I am passionate about preload weapons, and watch with some assiduity your videos. A greeting from Tmbó-SC / Brazil.

Your channel has my support, don't worry.

great video, please make more like this.

Great video. Really well done thank you

Very interesting. Today there is a trade off between accuracy and rate of fire. It is interesting to see that this has been so for quite a long time.

Excellent! Keep up the good work

Very interesting video. Thanks.

I would like to tell you I appreciate the intercut close ups of the powder in the pan and the returning the ramrod to its loop.

Reading 'The Glorious Cause' by Jeff Shaara (awesome book!).. He describes Hessian 'Jagers' as designated riflemen in the Revolutionary War. So cool to watch this right after a nice afternoon of reading. How would a Jäger rifle compare to a Baker rifle (from the Richard Sharpe series) I wonder? And the thought of going through those reloading motions under fire or extreme stress just blows my mind!

good stuff! Great channel :)

Outstanding history information!Todays American Light Infantry starting back in the 80s when they decided to reduce the amount of vehicles in the infantry division so they can be deployed faster to any place in the world.Back then the designated divisions for infantry was the 6th,7th,25th and 10th Mountain to include the 82nd Airborne,and 101st Air Assault.Unit leaders to include a lot of NCOs went to US Army Ranger School to learn small unit tactics from squad to company sized infantry operations.A lot of guys who were in the 3 Ranger battalions who have served there especially officers and NCOs who did their time in the 3 battalions and stayed in the army were usually sent to Light Infantry,Airborne,and Air Assault units to keep their training to be passed on to its soldiers.This was emphasized by America's experience in Vietnam and after as "low intensity conflict".Ft.Benning's Infantry School has taught the majority of infantrymen and leaders in the past and still today the concept of light infantry and the importance of marksmanship.

Excellent video.

I must tell you sir, I had given your videos a cursory glance in the past and thought they were pretty decent. However, I came across them again lately, and must say that I had highly underrated your work! Simply outstanding. You are very intelligent yet easy to watch. I will most certainly give you a like and subscription, it's the least I can do! P.s. content like yours is the reason why I don't watch television, or even mainstream productions like the Discovery channel etc. These days, they don't even contain information anymore! They just repeat the same 3 or 4 facts in different ways, while trying to produce as much hype and drama as possible to get them through to the next commercial. Unwatchable in my opinion. P.p.s I came across your channel again because Ian from Forgotten Weapons mentioned your channel. He certainly was right in recommending it!

Oh, well, I guess Petyr Baelish survives.

Loved it, thank you!

Thank you for the info, Lord Baelish.

Your videos are perfect

Very good history video good demonstration with the rifle I am learning a lot on these videos {thanks}

Very informative, and nice to see someone quoting from the oft ignored Austrian drill manual on light infantry tactics. Usually these presentations become fixated on the French, and the later British experiences in the American rebellion and ignore the fact that the Austrians were experimenting with light infantry decades before.

Very impressive and informative video, but why do you look like Uncle Rico? Lol "If I could go back to the Napoleonic Wars I bet I could shoot a lead ball over dem mountains"😂😂

Nice work. That percussion cap rifle is a beauty. Too bad you couldn't fire it.

Is that littlefinger?

Maaaan now i wanna another Total War. Napoleon 2 maybe.

A great video I appreciate the effort that you placed into this ,, I wanted to add that helmet mohr of Mayen hausen Germany built me a German jäger rifle that shoots incredible all the way out to 200 yards and farther ,,54 cal. 1in 72 twist ,,,,again thank you for the fine videos ! Johannes van Hoek , U.S.A.

Wow amazing. I do US forces during 1812. This was very cool and informative.

I really do like the Pedersoli Jaeger, the hunter model with plain iron sights. It's a very dependable rifle and is short which I do prefer for being in the bush. I got mine in 2018 and it still is my favorite flintlock rifle.

While I cannot approve of our French friend not using eye and ear protection, these videos are very excellent, and our host is a great shot.
