I doubt it's a myth. Instead of looking into the past, just reflect on modern soldiers who use crossbows for some missions(google it). The evidence is alive, not in a book. Longbows were probably considered by wellington the same way. For some missions, stealth is preferred. It's just people cannot fathom why crossbows would be used in modern day so they call myth. Im not so sure. But in general, I agree, people often build on false premises. Step 1 is false but because the 2nd and 3rd step are compatible with step 1, the conclusion(step 100 or whatever) must be logical and true without double checking step one.

As a concept, muskets and modern rifles are just bows. A man shoots a projectile at an enemy to kill a man instead if a battalion or a tank. Muskets are upgraded bows using fire explosion to propel vs using string tension. Ways of propelling are different, the concept of the weapon is the same. Cars are just upgraded coaches and humvees are comparable to chariots in their military function. Ways of turning the wheels is different(engine vs horse) the vehicle is the same. Anyone who cannot see such similarities will never be able to understand how modern US military still has cavalry regiments. Dilettantes probably think they can't be cavalry if they don't use horses. God forbid they find out modern soldiers still use crossbows, they're going to eat bricks.

This is similar to a scene in Red Dawn (The original, NOT the remake.) where the Wolverines ambushed a couple of Soviet Red Army soldiers, but with a few key differences. The Soviets just happened to be passing by where the Wolverines were camping out, and it included several young men and women fighting a smaller squad of soldiers who were out on recreation, so it made more sense why they wouldn't be at their best in that case, and the Soviets at least try to act and fire a few shots, so they at least feel more like a threat than an entire division of British soldiers in The Patriot.

Please Please please 🙏 make a video on the book „in Stahlgewittern“ (storms of steal) by Ernst Jünger. I think it’s one of the best WW1 books and Jünger has an incredibly interesting perspective on his time on the Western front.

Ive seen some reenactments where it isnt visible to the public but rather a historical game with blanks and no set winner at the beginning, that being said in these types of reenactments the publics learning is comoletely out the window. And i understand technology may not that advanced for what i am proposing. Idea in first comment \/

I think If technology reaches this Point and price isnt to expensive i think WE could attach tiny lazers the size of your thumb to a gun that will sync Up to the Trigger Being pulled and using different variations of the bell curve on different types of guns to randomly shoot lasers in a reasonable pattern in Relation to the gun. And each laser Now for recieving a Shot. I think using tiny lazser detecters on different Body parts as to Simulate Not every Shot will kill. Now when you die you could probably have an ear piece that IS hard to See that could Play a slight ringing Sound, Not nearly enough to damage ears but enough to let you know your dead. Now this could Just Happen when Shot in your head or Torso. But also there IS a Chance If IT Hits your arm or Leg. And every time your Shot depending in your Body parts IT will select a random number( for example a shot in the head would likely select a number of 20 where as a hand would select a 2), and your numbers add Up and after certain Times numbers will decrease, maybe at different Rates depending on different factors, and If your sum of numbers exceeds a certain particular number; lets say 30, you will die. And Vibration from Hidden vibraters could BE used to let you know would placement and severity. Like a Shot Just skimming you would cause a slight Vibration, whereas a Shot in the Center of the arm would vobrate a lot. And depending on how hard the Vibration IS determines how Immobilie your limb IS. These vibrations could BE temperary or until turned Off to let you know what inhuries you have. In all i think the definitly technology IS this advanced and this cheap, but in the Future IT could very Well BE possible. And i think all this would hardly effect the Feeling of the reenactments.

Did they work for the Crown? Or the East India Company or The Hudson bay Company??? The reason Cornwallis surrended at Yorktown was the other share holders, thought he spent too much money and was cut off.

I think You don't have to just use only black powder you can use cream of wheat on top of your black powder charge usually almost as much of a measurement of cream of wheat as the measurement of black powder you put in the musket Cream of wheat packs very nicely, because of it’s makeup being a moist powdery substance almost like wading but unlike wading which is a solid and useful don’t burn up completely while and after leaving the barrel which means a higher risk of hitting and injuring someone when firing a musket pack with cream of wheat on top of a black powder charge again being a moist powdery substance won’t come out solid but will exit the barrel like someone throwing sand and cream of wheat makes for a more realistic boom instead of just using only black powder

Usually the marines talking all that trash were REMFs. I've personally witnessed former marines failing Ranger school. But according to one Marine I know that was a supply clerk they're all specops and green berets are p****. The loudest can is the most empty one with nothing but a worthless pebble in it 🤷🏽‍♂️
