Well call me what you want, but all things considered, I rather be in the back ranks.

It is very interesting that already in 1862 US Army had got uniform-jackets, hats and leather belts ( i thought that soldiers could only be provided with jackets) and that every soldier had got a rifle.

“What makes a good soldier is the ability to fire three rounds a minute in any weather.” -Richard Sharpe

Don't know why they have to say "aimed"..unnecessary

Probably have a video of the difference between a Musket from the Revolutionary War and a Musket from the Civil War firing side by side showing the design or details that im trying to find i guess the only thing different is the Musket uses a primer instead of pouring some powder

alluring!!!

Civil war era guns wheren't for the most part muskets. They where rifles, not smoothbores. This is a Springfield Model 1861 which is a rifle. Maybe the museum should get something as fundamental as that right

It's just beautiful 😍

War of Rights graphics got real this time

This is amazing. Greetings from Mexico.

bloody hell

Dam hear the ring of that gun going off

I just dug out a family history book today and a far back relative was in the civil war and wrote a poem . Anyhow I just thought this was very interesting. Thank you for posting your video.😊

I love God and Jesus.

Very impresive

this is not American soldiers because they know Napoleon lll of france

While I realise that these guys are re-enactors and not real soldiers, they are never going to keep up a rate of 3 shots a minute. Why do they take so long to recover and reload ? The artillery are no better, why do they not have a shot and charge ready to reload instead of that guy running back and forth.

Camera man is creative mode

No it isn’t the same wife abuser

Well done video, very clear in many aspects.

Is this the same David Larsen that tried to kill his ex wife?

wack

How democrats what us to defend our homes

There's always one who fires high

8years and KZfaq recommend me to watch !?

Fascinating, thank you. :D

This was shot off the Gettysburg Battlefield Park in the late 1980's for the Park by the Park Service. The Sergeant is Cliff Sophia, of the Second US Infantry, Company C, brigaded with The First Minnesota Infantry.

Salute to camera men for going back in time for record this

How does camera doesn't die after the canon shot it

Funny how they didn't work the cannon barrel

Today as opposed to earlier (as in this video) the Civil War cannon demos include using a complete ball and sabot load. As such the cannon will (as opposed to what is seen here) realistically recoil 6' to 8'. This means that part of an actual reload procedure was running the cannon back up to its original firing position.

6;08 rip the camera man

Their artillery drill might be historically authentic but from a modern safety aspect it makes me want to cringe!

This is something I appreciate. Forever, I've wondered if the cannon balls exploded or they were solid iron. Heard they were solid but you wouldn't know it from the movies. I realize some had shot in them, but you see people flying in the air and explosions going off in even the best Civil War films. Bowling balls may be lethal. Definitely not glamorous.

Hey! Just curious where you found this video? I would love to use it for a project but NPS cant confirm where it was made.

Is it took 5 minutes just to reload the gun

And now you see why the British lost the war !) LMAO LOL

Isso é sumi na fumaça kkkkkkk

God

333 333 wiews
