Make no mistake: the Martini-Henry series of rifles were a wonder of their time. This example was from 1872, one of the first Martini-Henry Mk I rifles fielded by the British Empire. Note that this was less than a decade from the ending of the US Civil War (1861-1865).
Since then, the Martini-Henry has been a symbol of the British global might and widely seen on pop culture referencing the Victorian Era.
The use of a metal cartridge was revolutionary for the time and significantly increased the firepower for soldiers on the field. The weapon was designed to be fielded with companies and battalions of men, against companies and battalions of opponents. It was designed with conquest and expeditionary forces in mind.
For us today, the Martini-Henry's capabilities are shrouded in mystery. How accurate are they? How reliable are they? How fast are they?
Finally, after a year of learning, replicating period munitions, testing, more reading and learning... we finally publish our Martini Henry Practical Accuracy video. Thanks to Rob, from British Muzzleloaders for his guidance and expertise in this era of arms!

I am glad I watched to the end to get the discussion about volley fire and the utility of formation shooting. Particularly in the era of super accurate firearms, we tend to forget that the effectiveness of individual firepower is a relatively recent historical phenomenon and that so much depended on coordinated drill and unit discipline well into the early 20th century. You probably could have armed Dabulamanzi's impi entirely with Martini Henrys and it wouldn't have positively affected the outcome for them as their experience in the manual of arms would not have made them effective.

Somehow, I found this video to be one of the best Practical Accuracy vids so far lol. Congrats to Josh and Henry. Rob also did an amazing job on the analysis

Absolutely wonderful to see the actual capabilities of this historic weapon; one gains insight into the limitations and the employed tactics of the time. This review alone does more for an understanding of the history of battle than most doctoral thesis's

Would love to see an 1873 Winchester, even if it's a reproduction. Karl shot one at Desert Brutality 2020 and had a strong run with it, but those ranges aren't anywhere near the ranges Henry shoots at.

I’ve always wanted a Martini Henry and I’m disappointed I passed on one in Afghanistan. I also was really pumped to see that you did a crossover episode with @britishmuzzleloaders that made this video even cooler. Great job hitting the 500yd mark. It had to be an incredible challenge, as a reloader and a black powder muzzleloading shooter as well I know just how much went into making this. Keep up the great work.

I wonder how much the ammo affected this session. It seems that different rounds apparently shot differently. But, even so, it's a miracle that the Poms actually hit any Zulus! :-)

What an awesome video! Goes to show that all the issues Henry had experienced, was near irrelevant by doctrine at the time. As per any military weapon old or new, training is key to get the utmost out of what is issued.

I remember watching ZULU, the movie, on television when I was a kid. Scared the hell outta me, all those screamin' zulus charging with their assegais. After seeing the movie, I lusted for a Martini Henry, even though I was young enough I didn't exactly know what lust was, I lusted for a Martini Henry.

Always thought it was funny how they made the British soldiers out to be heros, when in fact they were imperialists committing genocide against the Zulus. You aren't a man if you're bringing guns to a fight against people with sharpened sticks.

You're giving the Zulus far too little credit and in turn, doing them a disservice, they had far more than sharpened sticks.@@patricksmith2565
