The mug is historically accurate, not many people know that Ernie originally raised to fame as a trench raider. He was eventually honorably discharged after his CO found all the german scalps in his cot. He went on to be a poster child selling war bonds.

@rgm96x49 6 жыл бұрын

Little did people know, however, that Ernie was also partially responsible for Hitler's rise to power postwar, as the embittered veteran went to Germany and became a huge help to the NSDAP's meteoric rise. But that is a story for another video.

For you see one night Bert and Ernie were talking about life after the war when Bert was shot by a German Sniper and dying in Ernie's arms, Ernie went insane with rage and killed 50 Germans in one night alone with only his Trench Knife. They found him the next morning covered head to toe in blood with only his knife, 50 scalps, and a rubber ducky

One reason - just speculation - for the single shot pistol may well have been that Brits were always scared that their troops would blaze away and use up a whole lot of ammunition. That was the reason for the magazine cut off on the early rifles.

@madgeordie4469 4 жыл бұрын

You are correct up to a point. The British army in 1914 was an entirely professional force and officers, as you said, had to purchase their own side arms, which had to be in .455 Webley calibre. However, when conscription was introduced in 1916, it was decided to issue standard Webley mk 6 revolvers as there were not enough weapons on the civilian market to meet the demand and some officers were turning up at the front with some seriously weird, and totally unsuitable, handguns. Other ranks who used handguns for specialist functions (eg Lewis gun teams) always had their guns issued from central supplies.

@paulmanson253 6 жыл бұрын

Othais,on reflection the information you and Ian share out on a shoestring represents literally decades of purchases of various fairly expensive magazines,and the depth you in particular manage is really rewarding. In addition there is the actual videos of usage. Mae with the wall gun or the Mauser tank rifle is so memorable as to be iconic. I think you guys should put out a wall poster with Mae,the gun and the grin. I think of all those mostly boring history classes I sat through. History does not have to be boring. The positive energy from the interaction here is truly praiseworthy. I grew up with kinfolk who personally experienced both wars and I wish they could have lived to see a program such this Great War project finding interest and resonance with people who are literally 100 years younger than they. Most of the European population lived lives comprehensible to that of the ancient Egyptians,and in the era of the 20th Century went from that to watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. Of course surviving two world wars was the price required to do that. At any rate, Indy, Flo and crew,way to go and you guys done plumb good. Hope you can keep going on something after November 11. Hang the Kaiser.

Warning. The following is pure nerd. Read at your own risk. Any joviality lost is not my fault. A bullet doesn't lose effective velocity in aerial combat per se. Assuming the two magnificent men in their flying machines are going up-tiddly-up-up and down-tiddly-down-down at around 90mph (frightfully fast in 1915) then the ammo they have in their guns is already moving at 90mph (132fps). .455 Webley could hit 757fps. Add on the speed of an aircraft and one has a relative velocity of 889fps. If they're engaged in a game of chicken then (assuming same air speed) .455 is travelling 1021fps. Either way, despite being slow to would still catch the prey and would be fairly effective as the mass (17 grams or 265 grains) would combined with it's diameter tear a massive hole through an airframe. For comparison, 9x19mm Glisenti=1000fps 9x19mm Luger/parabellum= 1335fps .45 ACP= 960 (authentic ww1 loading) Later rounds such as .30-06 virtually negated the relative ballistic travel time in dog dogfights. .30-06= 2910fps .303= 2770fps 7.92x57mm (8mm Mauser)= 2700fps. As a fun bonus, the fastest bullet ever is a Wildcat round, the .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer. It clocked in at 4600fps.

I think the single shot feature of the pistol has a similar background like the magazine cutoff of the SMLE. The brits loved their idea of controlled volley fire and for a long time thought that having a magazine fed rifle would just result in the soldiers wasting their shots. Depending on who was in charge of adopting the handgun for the navy the idea might have still been present.

The mag cut-off was a common feature of colonial era weapons. The idea was to limit ammunition consumption. Prior to WW1 the standard practice was ranked volley fire, shooting on order. The Navy had even more reason to reserve magazine fire for emergencies only because there's only so much ammo one can cram on a ship.

The Mark V Webley would be about the top of my list, but I would want a longer barrel. The made one with around a seven and a half inch barrel which would be my first choice. If I couldn't get that I might settle for the six inch. I guess the automatic revolver didn't come out until after the war which is why it wasn't mentioned.

Some of the variety is explained by the fact that many British officers bought their own sidearms. Up until the 1960s it was quite common, and even expected that an officer would have their own pistol. The Webley Fosbery automatic revolver was quite popular as it was available in .455. There was also a vogue in some regiments for Broomhandle Mausers, but ammunition supply may have been a problem. That said, a box of 50 .455 would see an officer through several battles! The Northern Ireland campaign finally stopped this tradition, mainly due to the potential legal issues if someone got shot with a private weapon.

Pretty sure you know this already but Officers in the British Army in WWI tended to purchase their own side arms.including German Mausers etc My Great Grandfather bought two Webley MkVI revolvers direct from the manufacturer and used them in most of the major battles in France and Belgium..he was a Major in the Royal Field Artillery ....An interesting and rather sad fact... he kept them in his safe until about 1976 when the British Government ordered all unlicensed weapons to be handed in to the local Police..he did and was promptly arrested. He was never prosecuted, but it marked his declining years. That our Government should treat an old warhorse like that is a testament to how they disarmed the British people

to book end the lecture the revolver before the mk I was the bulldog, a short barreled .455 that was quickly replaced by the mkI's longer barel. that having been said it was relegated to support personel such as army doctors who would later live on Baker street and carry it in their pocket- not something you can do with the MkI (I've tried.0 At thev other end was the Webley-Fosberry a semiautomatic revolver that today goes for about $50k. It was most famous for being the murder weapon in "The Maltese Falcon" it was never poular in WW1 becasue unlike an automatic like the Browning 1911 it had a lot of exposed paqrts that can jamb really quickly in a dirty trnech. I've owned a Mataba semi-auto revolver and while it was gloriously accurate and had virtually no recoil it was a stone bitch to keep clean and firing just a box at the range (about 50 rounds) would clog her.

@Hibernicus1968 6 жыл бұрын

AfrikaKorp42, this is not correct. He used 2 different Smith and Wesson Hand Ejectors 2nd Model in "Raiders" which, since it was supplied by a British prop master, was chambered in .455 Eley. (You can presume that since Indy was an American character using an American gun, he was supposed to have had it in .44 special, which would have been the likeliest caliber for that handgun, but the actual, screen-used prop was chambered for a British cartridge.) The second was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals of Glendale, CA, and was .45ACP. (He also used a Browning Hi Power in 2 scenes in "Raiders" including the bar fight in Nepal.) In Temple, he only has his gun briefly -- it gets dropped out of the car in the chase after he hands it to Willie Scott. That gun has been identified as a Colt Official Police in .38 caliber. In "Last Crusade," Indy is carrying a .455 British Webley WG Army model, which despite the name, was not an official British service revolver, but rather a commercial version chambered for the .455 Webley service round, that would be available for private purchase by British military officers. And he is most certainly not using the S&W in this movie: you can clearly see this when he lands the stolen airplane and breaks the gun open -- Webleys are top breaks -- and you see all six chambers are empty. You can also see clearly from the size of the chambers that the gun is .455 caliber, not .38. In "Crystal Skull" he still has the Webley WG. It's visible as such in a couple of screen shots and production stills. It is NOT the .38S&W Enfield revolver.

personally instead of putting a bayonet on a revolver like that it would probably be better to issue sabers considering most would shoot the revolver one handed.

Manchestersgirl no. They only became concerned with handguns when the brits chose to go with .38 S&W in the 20s. The war office took webleys design and handed it to enfield to produce for cheaper. Lawsuit followed but webley didn't get much back. Wind forward to ww2 and the govt were begging webley for every revolver they could produce.

No Webley Fosbery , And they where Definitely In WW-1 , The Royal Navy also bought Colt 1911 chambered in 455 Webley Auto . As British Officers bought their own side arms there where people like Winston Churchill who had the Mauser C-96, Also The Webley .450 British Bulldog , The Colt M1903 Hammerless , The Colt M1909, Colt 1911 (in 45 Colt) And the Multi barrel Lancaster , S&W M1899, M1917, S&W Triple Locks . So to say that about wraps it up for the Pistols not even close , Also a .455, 265 grain projectile traveling at 700 ft per second will catch a Circa 1915 aircraft traveling at 98mph

Poshboy I am sure they have been covered , but as the article is British pistols of WW-1 , an opening statement of British officers at the time where required to buy their uniforms side arms and even swords so there was a service pistol made by Webley but officers often bought what appealed to them , The schools most of the officers came from at the time taught pistol shooting , and by 1917 the British government. Where supplying ammunition in 455 Webley 455 Webley Auto , 45 Colt Auto, 38 and 380 maybe even more calibres in limited supply. With that advent of officers being from other walks of life service pistols where issued as the cost of furnishing a uniform and a side arm may have been beyond a person at the times means , The Webley Fosbery for instance was very popular with pilots in the Then Royal Flying Corp , as it's self cocking action gives you semi automatic fire , but without ejecting brass that could possibly jam the aircrafts controls , plus being in a aircraft fashioned from wood and doped Cotton ejecting a smoldering piece of brass is less than ideal . On a similar tangent but at the end of the second world war in Europe the often last creditied Aircraft bought down was a German spotter plane , bought down by an American spotter plane with pistol fire from the crews two 45 Colt 1911's , while the Germans returned fire with thier 9 mm side arms .

@andersonandrighi4539 6 жыл бұрын

I don't. Side arms are now an officer thing. I don't know back them. Today only MP, officers and Special Forces are issued a side arm. The regular troops are issued the main assault rifle of their country or the carbine version. I also watched recently Lost City of Z and in the WW I segment I noticed that Major Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) is issued a revolver while NCO are not. So back them is like back now? I have to ask because WWI is the first big industrial war and contrary to popular belief handguns are not common in the Armed Forces now.

@karolinska1601 6 жыл бұрын

Anderson Andrighi NCOs and COs were often issued a side arm in place of a rifle. Though, in many cases, officers had to buy their weapon.

This is off topic, Flo, but the insights it provides might be outside the scope of the literature you have access to. From the US World War One Memorial, about the first year of the war, from the seaborne perspective. The line of reasoning he takes makes much clear that was before rather random seeming. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gaxoebBj05mXhnU.html I would not link someone else's video did I not think it was a game changer.

The whole idea of going into battle, over the top, etc., with a pistol is just not something I can get in line with. I know doing it with a rifle isn't all that much better, but good grief.
