Today we're showcasing the "Brown Bess" musket. One of many small arms in Ahoy's virtual armoury.
The British-made musket, colloquially known as "Brown Bess", stands as an iconic flintlock musket with a rich historical legacy. Widely used by the British military during the 18th and 19th centuries, this muzzle-loading firearm played a crucial role in various conflicts, including the American Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars.
The "Brown Bess" was produced in a number of configurations, the most common of which being the Land Pattern. The 1757 'Sea Service Pattern' musket was favoured for its reliability and ease of use on all Royal Navy ships. It embodied the standard-issue firearm for British naval forces, showcasing a blend of functionality and durability.
The origin of the term "Brown Bess" is much debated. Firearms Curator at the Royal Armouries Museum, Jonathan Ferguson suggests the name was derived from slang referring to a mistress, prostitute, or a lowly woman, with "Bess" being a generic and sometimes derogatory term.
Early uses of the term, such as in the Connecticut Courant in 1771, indicate widespread adoption by the 18th century. The word "Brown" may not necessarily relate to the colour of stocks but rather signify plainness or drabness.
The term "Bess" could either be a reference to arquebus or a nod to Elizabeth I. While the exact origin remains debated, the term "Brown Bess" likely had a colloquial and potentially vulgar connotation during the 17th to early 19th centuries.

😎😎😎👌👌👌
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Naval Action goodbye!
Veloce was amazing...I teared up...Great Job Gentlemen.
I can't wait to see this game grow a massive fan base
I'm crying because of two things now: I can't wait to play,and my PC is going to grill 😭
Just epic - I see you worked from authentic maps to give your audience the most accurate representation of the port, my respects
I already contributed to this game financially speaking.
Thank you so much for your support!
@@AhoyGame I will monthly for sure, I only expect you guys put all the effort in built a solid game where the path for full enjoy is clear for the team and for the players, not like naval action that even many player around the world felt passionated about it the enjoy was met many times with bitterness, the concept was erratic along its history forcing the team to modify rules and terms, also cope with the game with the developers was also a night mare. This concept is ambitious but believe me there is a lot of people out there eager for a full and realistic naval affaire including dealing with storms, bad visibility and challenge. I have faith in this project and without doubt I know this game will be epic in the community. God bless you guys!🙏🏻 keep good work up!! AHOY!!
please allow people with low end PC to be able to play this
this game looks like its years away of a playable version... i really liked atlas, however the devs have abandoned the game, it had so much potential, i wish there was a more realistic version of atlas with less fantasy..
Wonderful
I can't wait for Ahoy to come out and dominate the market - Naval Action, RIP. There's a new boy in the industry.
Astounding work, I even used your video to guide me through the vessel I'm writing about in my novel, thank you for your great work.
Absolute fullbody goosebumbs. This was a masterpiece in Cinematographics, Composing, 3D design and history. Hats off to everyone involved! Even if a full game never comes. This work is allready truly awesome to me.
I really hope yall can find the right cash flow. I dont think anyone would mind cosmetics that could be purchased as long as its reasonable and the cosmetics earned in game have enough variety. If you can swing an amazing game without it then that would be ideal. I have no idea why a realistic looking pirate game in a pirate world hasnt been realized since Black Flag. Make it right I am rooting for you.
The song please!!
It's a new composition! You can find all of Ahoy's music as it's released on Spotify and other platforms: open.spotify.com/track/1vAW2DFImUr9PpVhl4HOEs
Shames there's no single player. I'll probably pass on this games because of the the lack of single player. unfortunately i don't have the time to play online anymore. Hope its successful either way.
An other piece of art ❤
Une vrai pépite 😮
This is so much detailed. How can you optimise so much texture in an online game? It is unreal.
That's correct, it's Unreal Engine 5 😄
I have a new question, Once this gets a full release on PC, do you plan on console ports like Xbox and PlayStation? and even cross-play enabled?
Good question! We have no current plans to release on console. Depending on the success of the PC release we may consider it at a later date. At the moment it would not be within our abilities to prepare the game for multiple platforms.
In the Battle of Plattsburgh, 1814, Captain Matthey introduce his self-priming system to the Brown Bess. An American recounted that the British batteries "kept up a constant fire until the dusk of evening." When I search his book for the system's design, the free online version only shows the section of the pan, missing the other parts of self-priming system. The full paper version of the design is available in the British Library. I hope someone can reproduce Matthey's self-priming system, and test whether or not his claim about reliable firing is true... Capt Matthey, Material Improvements on Fire Arms, Particularly the Common Musket. (Lymington, 1812).
This looks so beautiful
I own this musket in real life and i can attest your recreation is spot on! Amazing how you completely modeled the lock Im looking forward for more!
Need to see it moving firing and the interaction of water on it
Ambitious as this game looks, but only getting art work on a single musket makes me believe I'll be dead before release.
The team is working across the project. It just so happens that the visual stuff is what makes for good videos and images.
I truly hope this can happen. But, I hope these extreme details don’t get in the way of an actual game emerging.
This is amazing! 🎉
If the actual game is made with a fraction as much passion and talent as these trailers, it will be a broadside to the world of sailing sims.
thats the thing with these shiny hype trailers, a 2012 mobile game has them... means abs fk all about what the actual game will be like or the state of the development . dont buy into cgi reels...
please don't let this game be like skull and bones🙏
It is physically impossible to replicate that level of incompetence
Goosebumps , great
sick weapon
Noice! show some nice swords like rapiers and espada ropera ^_^
Beautiful, an absolutely stunning recreation.
I love your gamedesign and wish you great success! :) The only worry I have is, will it take numerous years to finish such an ambitious project?
We'll get there! Games take many years to make, and we're passionate enough to see it to the end :)
A video about a musket has no business going this hard. Well done, Ahoy, we believe in you and all your endeavors!
Go hard or go home! ;)
Incredible attention to detail and great cinematics. Basically what I've come to expect from Ahoy videos!
Thank you! We do love creating these :)
