War for Apachería 1 - Fighting With the Federal Government in the 1870's - Part 1 of 2 

True, except RU-vid has done its level best to fail the channel. Direct sponsor if you can, chaps.

Obsolescent

Excellently done!

I believe you mean, "Out of Scope TV"

Absolutely right!

Kevin is really good people

I agree. Respect from the WWII reenacting community, Kevin!

I'm sure we'll get more videos, judging by the '1' in the title

Looked like Kevin would have faired better on the rifle in the beginning but he was shooting way low, maybe he hadn't tested his loads at that range? Looked like once he adjusted his sights he was pretty spot on for the rest of the run

Agreed. The way those rounds smacked that steel was impressive! 45 Colt is no joke.

Dang right, excellent shooting

@@donjuanmckenzie4897 Reservations are land in which you concentrate refugees, prisoners, political dissidents and other groups of people into. What's not to understand?

@@Vagabond671 How about the term Ghettos instead.

@@Vagabond671 Today's reservations are considered semi-independent nations, and their govts deal only with the Federal Govt, not the State govts, about a lot of different issues.

Semi-Independent. Lol. Right. The system is setup to ensure the reservations typically have the worst of all possible situations; it is an ongoing blight on our history since the death camp called Bosque Redondo and the "Long Walk".

@@InrangeTv Well said. Even passing understanding of the situation shows that the reservations were ethnic cleansing on a vast scale.

And as much fun as you can have! Love em.

And I get to live in the middle of it. I even got to speak to Cochise's grandfather.

Not just Texas, lack of education about Indian wars is everywhere.

Thank you!

That is awesome!

I would love to try 45-70, .45-90, and .45-110: reportedly the sales of the latter skyrocketed after the ' Down Under ' movie....

That's why we find intact cartridges in old battlefields.

You wouldn't be the only one. Unfired cartridges are a very common find on old battlefields.

Not as bad as combat but competition and the camera always ramp up stress. Turn off the camera and take away the other guy and your skills suddenly get better.

I enjoyed their reenactment of panicked 7th Calvary troopers, armed with single-shot 45-70 trapdoor Springfield, attempting unsuccessfully to fend off superior numbers of opponents armed with repeating rifles, and bows / arrows, both with much higher rate of fire....

Need a YT channel focusing exclusively on that stuff. We can call it "Marginal Black Powder"!

Compared to moon or half-moon clips or speed loaders, they _are_ a lot slower. Comparing like to like (loading one cartridge at a time), they are a little slower, but if you get some practice in, you can burn it down. Compared to cap & ball? Like lightning

@@PhycoKrusk Cap and ball's a LITTLE slower with good paper cartridges but not by much, the ramming step is a bit slower because you have to actually seat the bullets properly instead of just punching out empty cases and if you've not got a good capping tool it'll REALLY slow you down, but a decent cap-and-ball gun is surprisingly fast if you take the time to make good cartridges for it. It's especially fast if you use hollow-base conicals, which are undersized until the powder goes off and make seating the bullet a lot less effort, at the cost of some velocity.

@@charlessalmond7076 Aside from my 1851 Navy repro, I've avoided single action revolvers due to the reloading hassle. Watch a You Tube video of a guy switching cylinders on his single action Ruger .357, thinking that would work also on cap & ball revolvers with easily removable cylinders....Not Colts, of course. Half a dozen loaded, capped cylinders on belt pouches.....

The name of the book is "Fighting Indians of the West" by Schmitt and Brown.

Neither Ian nor his wife had anything to do with the production of this video.

@@InrangeTv Maybe the guess is Karl's chutzpah? Or just a skilled person with a camera. I think chutzpah is still the right answer. Even though Sinistral rifleman's voice appears in the video (if my ears are correct).

@@InrangeTv Ian is married?

@@rob9875 Ian's mentioned his wife a few times during his Q&A sessions but, honestly I feel his, Karl's, and their associates personal lives are none of our business. Its irrelevant to the content.

@@madawcofarreat2348 Obviously we are not exactly the same but every human deserve the same respect. But then there is the ass hats, but they are individuals who deserve no respect.

My mother grew up on a reservation back in the early 60s, she used to talk about how all the Indians were very large compared to the white people and her uncle “Gator” (Yes that was his name) was one of the strongest people she had ever seen so I would believe it.

@@madawcofarreat2348 No, it just means they have a less sedentary lifestyle. It's the reason why some guy in Lycra and racing bicycle can and will get passed while climbing the Swiss Alps by some local Swiss business man in a suit with some shitty bicycle, or how the champion of some old international bicycle hillclimb race was the local mailman.

Think about North Africa in 42 if there had been integrated indigenous units, if the pregnant women can do that.

@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane That guy certainly did a great massive leap didn't he?

I too am curious. From the Krag, to the M1, even the AK seems like there was a right-hand-does-most everything idea in the manual of arms.

@@gunterstraus606 Many have remarked that the SAA colt revolver seemed to be designed for left handed holding of the gun while reloading. The allen rifle conversion lends itself better to right handed operation. The sword is always used in the right hand for right handed people. For the military at times the handgun was used in the left hand and the sword in the right. It just depends. The lebel french 1892 ordnance revolver cylinder swings open to the right instead of left for loading with the right hand being used to insert cartridges. Cylinder swing open colts and smith and wessons open to the left being intended for right hand operation. The right holds the gun while cartridges are loaded with the non-firing left hand. Few fight with swords any more. Link to the Lebel French 1892 Ordnance Revolver picturearchive.gunauction.com/370120058/12026007/1892-Lebel-4.JPG

Link to Smith and Wesson .32-30 Military and Police revolver It opens in the opposite direction. files.osgnetworks.tv/11/files/2010/09/st_smithmp_200809a.jpg

@@gunterstraus606 One benefit of teaching weapon manipulation / designing weapons to be manipulated with the right hand (though I am uncertain if it actually was design intent) is that it adds a layer of safety if you don't have total faith in your force's basic training: If the firing hand is messing with the bullet / clip / magazine / etc., then the trigger finger is nowhere near the trigger while the conscript / militiaman / draftee is paying attention to something other than where their muzzle is pointed.

@@tugboatyan excellent point, I think some take the modern safety ruleset and general adherence to it for granted, deliberately breaking firing grip during a reload adds a layer of safety if there is no guarantee the gun won't be waved about.

I thought I was the only one that caught that

Karl and I were over 450 seconds for 4 stages, slowest modern shooter was 390, Sinistral Rifleman won overall with 161 seconds. Best on this stage was also SR with 29 seconds.

@@kevinbrister6456 Mr. Phagan tends to go at blistering speed, but 29 seconds? I would have loved to see that😁

@@kevinbrister6456 so i guess modern guns are about twice to three times as fast. That isn't even as much of a difference as i would have expected. Maybe you guys are just crazy good ;) Either way I am impressed.

Like a control group, that's a great idea

Fantastic book!

Even black powder of today is quite refined

@@dragonstormdipro1013 yeah there isn't really a market for really cheap junk black powder anymore and modern production machinery and quality control is better

We address that topic in the after action analysis in part 2.

Karl normally says he picks up his replica gear in the shops in Tombstone when asked in the Q&As. Sadly there probably may not be an online store

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yarrr! That cactus is my booty!

They didn't.

I’ve heard of them using raw cotton in the south during the Civil War.

Took me a minute, the time stamp is more like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vDZH1VJRsYQ.html

Learned that lesson when I was stationed at MCAGCC 29 Palms. We taught our Marines to cover up everything when that sun came out because the fastest way to become a heat casualty was exposed skin.

I'm weird as well, then🤷🏾‍♂️

It was. doesnt change the fact that reservations originally were basically the same thing.

Not currently.

Thank you!

@@InrangeTvThrowing successfully to melting pot (as USA is known) means that original state of specimen must be changed. As an example. US Army during WW2 was full of guys named Muller, Meier, Lange... Over million guys named like that were recruited, whose parents/grandparents had come from "old country" just couple decades a go. Relative of Herman Göring bombed Germany.... It does not mean you have to forget where you came from.

They were issuing swords to cavalry in WWI, Emilio

@@GuntherRommel Well I was wondering if they were actually using them. Issuing swords and actually putting them into the hands of troopers expecting them to be used is another story

They were still issued swords I think, but they didn’t really carry them often after the Civil War.
