The computer editing that multiplies you for a visual is absolutely unique to your channel and is a great tool for understanding!!! Please continue with videos like this. I enjoy them quite a bit.

1:36 That has to be the most satisfying firing sound I have heard in a long, long time.

Once again outstanding and educational video. I really enjoy how the quality of you're videos has improved since you started.

Get in!!! He's back! Always a good day when " Fighting Mac" comes back! Awesome stuff happening !

An excellent video with clever effects. Quoting Kipling on the Snider "A blue ringed hole in the forehead and the back of the scull completely missing"

Another excellent job and video!!!! I hope you know how much appreciation goes into your videos by us the viewers! Thank you very much

The guns & regalia with mountains behind you...Your channel Sir is majestic to say the least.

Excellent work! As always interesting comparisons and history lessons mixed. Thank you.

Love these videos you put out my man.

Great video again Rob, cheers from England.

Outstanding video. The reading of the text over a great CGI effort was wonderful.

The scenery in your videos never ceases to amaze me

Another very entertaining and well presented video. I am amazed by how you managed to find so many actors in all identical to you. My compliments to the many of you!

A great video. Fascinating how things used to be done. Thank you.

Well done. Been a long time between videos. Quite informative and interesting.

Thank you for all you do to make your channel great. I have had Snider lust for years and wanted a companion for my trapdoor, and your videos pushed me over the edge. I bought a mint Snider from your country and all the things I need to make it talk again. I love BPCR! Thanks again.

Awesome video Rob! Keep up the great work

Stunning scenery in the background.

Your videos are beyond any superlative. Brilliant, outstanding, excellent, superb, even epic are shamefully insubstantial. Keep it up. I hope you have patented the RobMac cloning machine! :D

Excellent Rob. Loved the volley fx.

Oh daaamn, I really thought about this years ago, about the "point of change between the original reloading proccess with gunpowder directly to the basic bullet creation", for me is such a MASSIVE change, all that time reloading one single shoot now was reduced, such an amazing improvement Such a good videos, really great job man

“This, of course, was the Snider”... that episode was the first time I heard of you, and have been hooked ever since... so many beautiful guns, not enough time or money to buy them all!

As always an amazing channel 💪

Excellent video! Very interesting and educational era of history!

Holy crap this video must of taken a load of effort well done!

An Excellent Presentation Good Sir !!!

Well done Sir!

Another great video!

Very informative. The band music title and players name would be a nice addition to the description.

Splendid video, glad to be a subscriber. Every time I watch one of your videos I wish I lived up north. I would trade you for that 27°C right now... STL approximately 30°C today, most annoying.

Excellent video, thanks.

The presented calculations are indeed a proof of the staggering rate of fire increase! Another excellent video :D

Just reading about the indian mutiny and getting interested in the P53 :D Your video is right in time :) ! Really cool.

Great video. It’s kind of amazing to think how much warfare changed in the course of a single lifespan in the mid-to-late 19th century. A young private joining in 1850 would have trained with a P1842 musket, and potentially retired as a staff sergeant in the 1890s leading men armed with magazine-fed, bolt action Lee Metfords.

Great piece, thanks.

Well worth waiting for as usual :-)

Top review👍

Excellent video again Rob but (27 degrees C ) I wish ? Last time I took my Snider hunting was 45 C midday didn't get under 30 C at night but saying that its still better than the cold you have to cope with over there - Cheers

Pretty cool.Thank you for this.

Huzzah! This is top-flight research! You would be a great reference for museums, historians, and re-enactment. I like how you measured the rate of firing using a pre-loaded first round, as would be done in battle. The time advantage of the Snider would have been even greater if they had to fire from prone.

A another amazing video keep it up

Another great video sir! And yeah, those rifles are gorgeous!

Victory in the campaign of 68` I think you will find lies with Harry Flashman VC......

Thanks for another excellent video, you put so much into your videos it is amazing your truly are inspiring! I was thinking of getting a Snider but opted out for a 45-70 Trapdoor "American girl here" anyway but also a southern girl and the Enfield was used Among the CSA in the war between the states, so I think I will save up and get a P53 , they are excellent rifles a friend of mine has one, make a wonderful hunting in to days world. Can take just about about anything in North America with it.

Another beauty. Cheers.

spot on again Rob. No wonder you were melting....you are used to wearing a kilt in the snow ;-) All the best from Blighty mate and have a corking 2018

new video HUZZAH!!!!!

Am in the only one who constantly hears The British Grenadiers March while watching britishmuzzleloaders even when it's not playing?

Snider and Martini Henry...3 cheers .

Oh man, I wish the local reenactment troupe here will invite you here in the Philippines and be one of those Spanish Colonial officers in the Philippine revolution reeneactment, the handlebar moustache really does it hahahaha

Great film yet again. Fantastic

Beautiful rifles, beautiful scenery , fantastic video

The main advantage of sniders, it can be shot by prone or kneeling position. So you wouldn't be an easy target for your opponents. Something which hard to do with the muzzle loaders.

Fantastic!

Happy Acts of Union Day!

11:43 The BBC called and they want their Visual Effects department back.

Good work Rob. Greasy paws is another reason for the Enfield round to have gone to pure bees wax other than the interaction between lead and fats in storage. Have you tried a bees wax round in a cold barrel in your winter?

Magnificent buddy!

id like to see you do a comparison of the springfield trap door and the snider

I love this concept! But I miss the Ross twins and of course private MacKenzie!

I subscribed at the moment I saw that moustache.

Rob that was great. The history on the effectiveness of the Snider's rate of fire was eye opening to say the least. And think of the shear physical weight of the ammunition. Each Snider round would be more that the weight of 5 modern projectiles. And having read some on the effectiveness of the .577 as a military projectile, it was said there was no equal, the original for sure 1 shot drop. I'm not sure the bravery of the men on either side of the line can be understood fully today.

Great Video as always. That ammo must have cost you a fortune.

what a change to the battlefield indeed

25* yikes! your a hardy fellow Rob, and shorts too! Excellent Videography on the firing line also, having a bit of trouble with the shoe on mine, some wear in the hinge pin hole, shimmed it but it doesn't seem to close as easily as yours, I'm looking at maybe finding a replacement shoe, any ideas?

I have my original Pattern 1853 Enfield right next to me as I watch this... So exciting!!

Thanks Rob! Another well done history lesson, but tell us, all hits below the belt? Was this Cricket ? ; )

Awesome What video editing software do you use?

Hey Rob. In this video, at 3:54 in, you reference a chart. Is there a printable (or purchasable) reference anywhere. Looks like it might make for a fantastic wall poster!? Stay well.

Curious your thoughts on this, what would you consider to be the better muzzleloading conversion? the Snider or the US-Trapdoor?

I noted that you commented on your lube mix in the paper cartridge. Do you Know if there is any Historical mention of changing lube for ammunition destined for different climates?

Got my Mark 3 in good working condition, just have to locate the pin to hold the locking lever in place, I’m using a cotter pin for now. Also looking at doing some casting instead of purchasing. My barrel seems to be around .595 is it alright to use the X Ring mold that has a .605 minie?

Your starting with a round loaded made me realize that I have no idea when armies with muzzle loaders would have ordered their men to load - after all, unloading was hardly a simple process if you didn't get a chance to shoot. Was this another advantage of the metallic cartridge?

I have a question. When did hats with the free flowing cloth on them became no longer used or popular in military? I have heard there was a brief period at one point in the past where they were a lot more widely adopted as head gear by of most governments (maybe it was just the western world or in the New World hemisphere), but soon gone away with as soon as it appeared. Is this true or was this a misnomer? I did hear this referenced in a comment online about why there was some forms of media of American Confederate soldiers having a cap with that, you know, "Sheet," design flowing and laying down. It was some outdated military head gear, no body wanted anymore, that was laying around that he decided to wear, since it helped wipe the sweat off his face in the heat. I think the comment mentioned that was the purpose of the sheet. (It had some flaw with it though, that people quickly stopped using them. Whatever issue it had apparently it was not enough to keep coming across people wearing their own unique version of their take on the hat. I think you can find sometimes evidence of world war two Japanese units or one guy having one.)

Once again.......WELL DONE THAT MAN!

This may be a silly question, what was the thinking behind the white headgear?

What wars were a lot of breech loaders first used in?

Dreyse vs Chassepot vs Snider vs Winchester 1866 or Queen Vic vs the competition would be very interesting. But where would you get the Dreyse and the Chassepot?

Were there ever an instance where the cap pouch was converted to hold pistol cartridges?

Will we be seeing you on Full30 or just KZfaq?

Medal Tally for the shooting at the games results.gc2018.com/en/shooting/medal-standings.htm if you're interested

My dad and I have collected Sniders shotguns and rifles for close to 50 years here in the US. Where can I get some more info on them. I think we have 6 or 7 of them. They are very difficult to find state side.

How does the effective range between the two compare? For the Snider, do escaped gases at the breach affect muzzle velocity and does less barrel length because of the 'shoe' affect accuracy? If you don't know, it might make for an interesting video.

Where did you get your snider and Enfield from?

I have a STHLE MKIII* marked 1917 do you know the difference between SMLE and STHLE?

27 degrees Celsius is 80.6 degrees Fahrenheit (aka Freedom Units). Quite balmy in Canada?

2 years later, and I'm now wondering why the choice of the smooth sided projectile in the P53 and the X-ring round in the Snider? Are they not surely almost the same rifle at heart?

notification squad reporting

Have you thought about creating a “Discord” server? It’s a free PC and mobile text and voice chat application. A lot of other people in the genre have done it, including people like Brandon F.

sorry if this seems too personal or out of place but what got you into military history in the first place.

I used to be a living historian and they stuck me as a Confederate soldier(most couldn't do the accent so I was stuck with it lol), got to know the P 53, she was a good shooter😊

Can someone tell me what uniform he is wearing? More specifically where I can find that shirt.

I'm curious. Do you know of any attempts to convert the Snider action to either the .577/450 Martini-Henry or .303 British? Hypothetically, could the Snider action be adapted for the .45-70 Government?

I would have thought capping the enfield would be very fiddly under battle conditions, is this so?

I'm looking at a Snider in a local shop. Decent bore, well defined rifling. Block wobbles a bit and the firing pin sticks way, way out of the block. Tumbler is sluggish but that's a basic lock fix. Any ideas what's up with the block? You have an email?

Mein Gott! A new video! stop the world, a gentleman is speaking.

Cl Cameron may have had his day with Magdala. He met his match in New Zealand. He got His arse handed to him on a plate. Twas Britain's Vietnam.

20 hits from standing at 100 yards. Excellent shooting. Standing isn’t easy, especially with those rifles.

What uniform is that?

britishmuzzleloaders I wonder if You could advise me; i found a Snider in near immaculate condition yesterday. He wants £700 for it. Is that a bargain or too much?
