This was a great documentary because when we did a family history found out I had a multiple great-grandfather that was one of Morgan's Riflemen it's so awesome to see a documentary about it
I am the 6 times great granddaughter of an elite rifleman of the Pennsylvania Militia 1st Rifle Regiment. He fought in every major battle of the American Revolution, from start to finish. Domari Nolo, greatest of granddaddies. Domari Nolo. ❤🐅
@fiiredark How is it possible for him to fight in every single battle? Did he teleport or clone himself? Some events took place at the exact same time.
Yea don't think so huh? Hmm. Colt pythons are my fav revolver. The 1911 was ahead if it's time. The browning Auto Rifle (Bar ) was as valuable in WWII as the SAW is today.
John Moses Browning is just in a class of his own. That doesn't mean Colt or any other firearm designer is not great, but no one will ever surpass Browning. And anyone that does not understand that has very obviously not done any research on the subject of firearm design.
Hey Bubba did you know that more Americans have been killed BY Americans in AMERICA than ALL the Americans killed in ALL the foreign wars combined that Americans have fought in,mainly thanks to the second amendment, Hey Bubba did you know that 120,000 men women and children are shot every year in the U.S.A,mainly thanks to the second amendment ..😅
Not even a passing mention of the Hall or Hall-North? The first military breechloader adopted en masse, and the first instance of modern manufacturing with machine-made interchangeable parts. Absolutely space age for the time.
Actually no, the American long rifle of the French and Indian, and the Revolutionary War periods were called "Pennsylvania rifles," not Kentucky rifles. It would be many years, nearly a century, before the first long rifle was made in Kentucky. The Pennsylvania rifle, originally produced in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1719, and then their clones and varients produced up and down the colonies, were most certainly Pennsylvania rifles by their design and origin. The first Kentucky-produced long rifles were most likely not produced until the early 1800s, nearly 100 years after the first Pennsylvania-produced flintlock rifle. Daniel Boone, a Pennsylvanian, carried a Pennsylvania rifle and not a Kentucky rifle as often misstated. The Kentucky rifle, merely a Pennsylvania rifle varient in stock design only, was not a Kentucky frontier staple until well into the 1800s. The primary source of Pennsylvania rifles purchased by the early Kentucky frontiersman were acquired most likely from Virginia and possibly Tennessee. It's important to do thorough research before making an historical documentary. So much of our American history and heritage are being rewritten and obliterated, as this documentary is culpable. It appears to be an American obsession to obliterate American history. Obviously from record of this video, corruption of US history is by no means contemporary. Facts matter.😮
You need to study more. They were called Kentucky rifles even though they were made in Pennsylvania because the majority of people buying them were traveling to Kentucky. Your attempt to sound smart revealed your ignorance.
Thank you from Pennsylvania. Just because they were carried to Kentucky. Doesn't mean they were made there. THEY ARE PENNSYLVANIA LONG RIFLES. God bless.😊
Is varient a variant of the word, umm.. variant? Learn to spell before lecturing others..I have no horse in the race, but I do love when wurdz be spelt gud..Just sayin'..
I heard this story of an old soldier in the Revolutionary Army who during target practice, never missed this stump in a lake everyone shot at, as he was asked what was his secret and he said he never loaded his rifle with a lead round... LOL
This video is incorrect on one point. The narrator stayed Timothy Murphy took one shot to hit Simon Frazer. That's wrong. There are many accounts of him requiring 3 shots before he hit Frazer.
You cloud make a smooth bore accurate @100 yards if you patched it but that wasn’t the point. It was volume of fire so they deliberately loaded a ball that was .010 smaller or so so then the gun started to fowl it could still be loaded. Kinda the attage of “no one complains about the inaccuracy of a machine gun” because that’s not the point
My family members was the ones how built the Buckman tavern in Lexington Massachusetts in 1703 To 1709 where you're mint man and Mulishia army Was at when the words of a man on a horse was yearling soud the bell sound the bell the raglers are coming that day on April 19th 1775 I lost 5 of my family members
Your title on this story is incorrect. Those are not rifles. They are guns, rifle came in when they start putting rifling into the barrel. I recall my army days. You did not call it a gun.
Poor history of guns. Presented as a drama film. Little or no technical specifications or demonstrations of black powder weapons. Click Bait. Go watch Hickcock45 on military arms.

Leave the girl alone she already has it bad enough being a Yankee 😂
Sounds like you've been lied to
Sam Colt had nothing on John Moses Browing, the greatest firearms designer in history!
Yea don't think so huh? Hmm. Colt pythons are my fav revolver. The 1911 was ahead if it's time. The browning Auto Rifle (Bar ) was as valuable in WWII as the SAW is today.
Both made everyone equal

The rifle, the shotgun, the revolver, AR-15 american weapons innobation has changed the world alot for such a newer country

!
Seems like every male in the north east of the country has been neutered for some time now..
no they are scared of the people having guns
I love history
I love history documentaries!
I too love hearing the differences in history as told by different people, with different agenda and different time periods.
Great documentary!
There is America before Samuel Colt and America after Samuel Colt.

It is well documented that it took Murphy 3 shots to hit Fraser, with his custom Double rifle.

They were called KY rifles because they were the preferred weapon of the long hunters. Not because they were primarily manufactured there.
Amazingly ignorant comment OP.

What a big mistake British Administration made?..? Back in the day.......look how the world is nowadays
Together we could have made a better world 😊
Yeah, America would be overrun by even more illegal aliens.
What a bunch of bullshit at that range those muskets were totally accurate.
Gentlemen Officers need an Army for Glory
Abraham Lincoln received bonuses for bringing a horse and gun when he joined a Sangamon County militia for the Blackhawk war.
3 rounds per minute under any weather conditions...that's soldiering!

It was the Continental army that forgot the effective guerilla warfare and went back to the line method!
Bb were used against us in the Mexican war and in the Philippines- no end, yet.
Maybe a half a teaspoon goes into the pan.

The British may have considered sniping to be dishonorable but there was not a damn thing they could do about it except stand there and die. Lol😅

Line fighting was the dumbest damn thing ever!
Ain't that the truth. A fact that we apparently forgot between the revolution and the civil war.
After the Thirty Years War had devastated large swathes of Europe, the practice of line fighting was adopted, as a more "humane" style of fighting.
It was to maximize the accuracy of smoothbore muskets.
Can not hear the dialogue because of the background music

The lancaster rifles were in fact rifles
As was the Ferguson rifle.

Russian AI warfare.
No, this is a history of arms used, not a demonstration of them.
Was the second amendment the biggest mistake in american history, ???....
Not even close!
