Full credit to the BML audio team for their quality of work, the over-dubbed segment would have been barely noticeable if we hadn't been forewarned!
I had a feeling he was going to "pew!" and it was as glorious as I thought it would be.
Thank you. I passed it along.
I did not expect a Who's on First reference on one of you videos.
But it is much appreciated.
Cheers!
This channel is a gem, well made skits and deep diving into history
What?? Using subtraction to calculate you score at 600 yards. Is that allowed. After all, these were only infantrymen.
Thank you!
That is truly a majestic report sounding off that lake.
Wan't it!
Especially on the 700 yard practice
Makes me want to get off my butt and get a lic and martini for myself!
@@britishmuzzleloaders My range has 800 yard boards but I'd trade it for that audio!
It was like rolling thunder
The sound effects are exactly what I was hoping for when you mentioned the technical difficulties. They did not disappoint and if anything made a great day even better!
Cheers!
When you said you’d have to Dub over the lost audio, I was half expecting to hear a familiar “bang” from C&Rsenal, but I greatly enjoyed a locally produced Canadian “pew”
So nice to see someone employed locally and the job not farmed out to discount foreign labor.
Glad to hear!
Pew!
Pew! Pew!
Pew!
(Not my work. All credits belong to the BML sound department.)
Haha!
It seems like numerous obstacles were surmounted, as per usual, in the creation of this masterpiece-- my deepest thanks.
I hope I live to see someone give as thoughtful presentation on the care, cleaning, and employment of the predator drone in the early 21st century.
Haha! Maybe in a hundred years... 😀
Top quality, in content and presentation. Also very entertaining and informative. Really, what more could one want?
Excellent work!
Thank you!
The multimillion sound editing for the shell ejection and action are worth it.
Cheers!
Your videos consistently provide an excellent balance of information and entertainment. Thank you.
Cheers!
I'm Re-reading "Bayonet to Barrage". I remembered the monster recoil of the Martini-Henry and thus respecting the physical pain you endure for our entertainment.
It is stout but not excessive.
Those shots over the lake at the 600YD target sound like Martini Henry ASMR!
Haha!
I would love to see your martini-henry shot in slow motion. The barrel seem to wobble after your shots. I know this is normal but looks crazy. Also great video as always. And your sound department did a great job. I could not even tell. Very realistic
Thank you!
Rob truly your content and costume is only matched by the panorama of your rifle range. :)
I hope you enjoyed it!
I Love how BritishMuzzleLoaders Comments on Every Video
I try...
Congratulations on scoring Marksman. Fun video.
Thank you!
When you said "hundreds of staff working in the sound department", I was steadying myself for some second class effects, but I certainly wasn't expecting the 'quality' of those! 😂😂😂 You should have overdubbed the majestic, natural sounds at the lake with your efforts.....or maybe not.....
Definitely "not"....
Love (jealous of) your shooting ranges
Lucky that way.
Hi
Just watched your video on rifle shooting, I must admit it reminds me of my days in the army , and shooting at Bisley,most of the competition’s where fire and movement,much like what you have shown. Also rifle training with the S.LR were very much the same has with your rifle, standing ,kneeling and prone,all at 100,200,300, 400, yards
Thank for sharing!
Rob: *puts on good music, pours a cold one* And now let's do the most relaxing thing possible *Proceeds to clean all his rifles*
Nice!
Thank you. Lets see 60 rounds / 14 shots to the pound 4.3lbs of lead down range. Thanks again I think I'll feel better about hitting the standard pig at 600 yards about 1 in 5.
Yup. Its a bit of an investment...
Always excellent, but those sound effects! I couldn't tell the difference.
Glad to hear!
I wish I gained a certain level of maturity.
Thanks for the fantastic videos!
Haha!
Another great video Rob.
Thank you!
Give those hundreds of workers at the sound department a raise immediately!
Then they'll want holidays...
27:00 Thank goodness for those talented Foley artists, the unmatched realism, I felt I was right there in the field with you. Doing the Lord's work right there, they are.
Haha!
PEW!!
I LOVE THIS GUY!
Cheers!
Top-notch sound effects! I had a feeling the lead-up meant pew-pews but that was absolutely perfect
Cheers!
Excelllent video. Exacting research and execution
Thank you!
So many Pews, I thought I was in church! Good Work!
LOL
I see what you did there...
That is some absolutely majestic scenery. A fantastic video as usual!
Thank you!
the second class is almost the same target they use at Camp Perry but the bull is 6 inches bigger and the target is at a 1,000 yds! it'd be interesting to see a comparison shoot between the foil and solid cased ammunition out of the Martini!
Foil cased ammo is a bit hard to come by...
@@britishmuzzleloaders i know it is (so is Berdan primed ammo outside of surplus!) but it would still be an interesting comparison to see shoot off!
In kissable I'm still playing catchup on videos!! 3 times ive had to rejoin 😎
Thank you for your perseverance!
I'm glad I listened to that 600 yard shooting with quality headphones because it sounded magnificent.
Didn't it?
I really like the skits at the start of these videos. Always funny and informative, keep up the excellent work!
Thank you kindly.
"The people responsible for firing those who have just been fired, wish it to be known that they have just been fired.
the visual effects have been completed at great expense at the last minute"
Indeed!
Excellent video. Thanks! (And damn good shooting by the way).
Thank you kindly.
You explain it very nicely in your video. Thanks for new video
Thank you.
Excellent work as always. Seeing a new BML video is always a highlight of my day. Carry on then!
Thank you kindly.
I've been in love with the Martini Henry since I saw Zulu as a child.
Today is my 38th birthday and I would love to know of someone in the UK Knew where I could get a chance to get my Paws on one and experience this wonderful beast how it was meant to be.
You'd have to enquire at various clubs or ranges in the UK, I assume... Make some acquaintances and become active in the community.
Beautiful video, shot in a majestic location. Well done! Loved the sound effects!
Thank you!
Subbing... I've liked your channel for a while, only seen a few videos though but that who's on first but sealed the deal... Lou???
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
A ''Phew'' is a recognized British rifle round (substitute-round-blank firing, one times for the use of}, usually used on exercise accompanied by its sibling ''bang f&*(king bang''
Haha! I think that is the case elsewhere too!
LOL good opening. I like the new uniform, watch the dress though. :) Did the range work destroy the uniform, particularly the white? How did the US do in the same era in regards to marksmanship? You live in a beautiful part of our province. LOL Pew, that sounds like Reservist in the early 80s. Great episode. :)
I was in the Reserves in the early eighties. I remember assaulting through a position once, we were told to yell bang in lieu of blanks, as usual. Someone began yelling Militia cut backs instead, soon we all were. That didn't go over well with the higher ups.
No, the uniform is just fine. Cheers.
Scaring the shit out of BC hikers since 2015
Not so much... 😀
@@britishmuzzleloaders 😘
How well does the sight adjustment work according to the different ranges?
I'm really impressed you even got hits with iron sights, did you test att 700 before the practice?
With love! 😁
I typically have to "over set" the sights as my load doesn't quite match the historic velocity... at 700 I was just under 800yds on the sights.
Most interesting to you shooting the long ranges and doing so well.
Thank you.
Shooting a Martini-Henry at 500 plus yards and even HITTING the target is impressive - never mind putting rounds in the black!!
Well done Rob, I'd have had a hard time matching 4 in the black at 700 yards with a more modern rifle! (such as my No4Mk1*)
A big target helps!..😀
They received more weapons training in 1879 than I did in 2011, I must have fired 50 rounds in 6 months total.
It got a great deal more as time went on, too.
In the early 80s it was only once a year, I believe. :)
@@dennis2376 Once I left basic it was yearly MATTS, 15 rounds to pass on varied targets, 5 to sight in or something like that my memory is terrible. It wasn't enough to become what I'd class as proficient in my opinion. Also one year it was done on the indoor range, that was pish.
Congratulations on the award !!!
Prize money - please send the invoice to the Queen of England.
Haha!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
@@britishmuzzleloaders a credit to your efforts and very well enjoyed.
To break down the dirge of text in the 19th century manuals and to make it understandable to the rank & file is fantastic.
(No potatoes were harmed in the making of this video!...😁)
Pew, Pew, PewPew. I honestly laughed out loud. Very entertaining Rob, well done. 👍
Cheers!
Be cool if there could be a bloopers video. pew pew 😆
No, I shoot it all in one take....
I love these intros, they just get better and better! Thank you for the great and informative content!
Cheers!
Abbott!!!!!!
Haha!
Jolly good job on the sound effects! I couldn't have done better myself
Thank you.
That lake a very nice spot for a picnic and bit of shooting.
It was!
Love that foley work, truely seamless. :))
Thank you!
I feel misled that for all these years of watching the channel I have only now heard true sound of the Martini Henry being fired... pew pew! 😂
But seriously another great video Rob. Black powder, beautiful scenery, historic insight and pew pews, what more could we ask for!
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it!
So, I can tell you're Canadian (I myself am a flatlander), and I know those are the Rockies behind you. Are you from the east or west side? Or are you the exceptionally rare Yukon UA-camr?
No those are the Coastal Mountains of BC. :)
I am in Western Canada.
That was more of a smokeless pew, more black powder bang please .
Ah, got it.
, Barney mcGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub………… We’ll done. For a moment I feared an ursine interruption not a storm.
Oh ..**! My iPad won’t edit. Missed out Pugh, Pugh as I put them in bold.
Hahaha!
I very much appreciated the sound team's efforts. Might I suggest that the clink of cartridges off rock or pavement be omitted when shooting on a blanket over grass? ;-)
There is always someone who isn't satisfied........... 😀
The history, music, weaponry, concise verbiage, and scenery made this Tennessee Boy subscribe. 10 out of 10
Thanks for coming along! Cheers!
18:25 funny thing is that he had to go back for the camera and climb again
Yes.
Always a pleasure.
Thank you.
1 Zulu warrior downvoted this video....
Correction 2 now...obviously hit at maximum range.
Perhaps...
Lovely work as usual Rob. You lucky bugger!
Cheers!
Were scopes ever attached to the Martini? It would be interesting to see the accuracy of a scoped Martini Henry. Great video and pew pew!
They were not, ever.
19:30 6’ square target looks tiny at 500 yards, but the scenery is stunning!
22:30 particularly majestic acoustics… sounds like thunder!
Its amazing how such a large target gets swallowed up...
So you are both Abbot and Costello? Great Video!
Only when required.
I'd love to see Practical Accuracy YT channel try this?
Why nnot reach out to them? Forgotten weapons did that with their french sniper rifle
You mean 9hole Reviews? They already did a Martini Henry video.
ua-cam.com/video/jqYXvVxETVQ/v-deo.html
Too late... already done.
Excellent, thank you!
Cheers V.
Channel should be renamed "britishmuzzleandbreechloaders" !!
Yep.
Outstanding! Thank you for the wonderful video. I'd wish you'd be at one of the brutality matches or perhaps a black powder clay pigeon shooting event with Karl from InRangeTV and Othais & Mae from C&Rsenal.
One day, I might be able to get there....
@@britishmuzzleloaders
I hope something like that comes together. I'd watch you visiting some muzzleloader camp too. Paul Harrel often takes part in those. Just a conversation by the fire or just a video conference with the ones in the first post would be wonderful.
Excellent sound effects!
Thank you!
Birtishmuzzleloaders, When shooting at ranges like 600 yards. do you hold the rifle with the 600 yards on the sights or do you use a higher setting ?
As long as your ammunition is loaded to the same specifications as the ammunition the sights were zeroed with, you should have no problem reliably using the irons at the same ranges denoted on the rear sight.
I typically have to "over set" the sights due to the slightly lower velocity of my ammunition.
@@britishmuzzleloaders I wonder if , assuming all else is the same with your loads, powder back then was a bit hotter than what we have today.
always good content from you. thank you.
Thank you!
That view has to be a green screen. Hehehe...
What a great backdrop for any musketry practices.
Clearly the BML sound department went above and beyond in recreating the accurate shooting sounds for the lost audio. Kudos to them. ;)
I'll pass that along!
Haha I loved the pew pew effects
Cheers!
Love the intro, very Laurel and Hardy.
Abbot and Costello might say otherwise... 😀
Oh oh can you do a video on mounted infantry and their history!!!
Mmmmmm,.... maybe,... I'd need a horse....
@@britishmuzzleloaders SOMEBODY GET HIM A HORSEEEEE!!!!
I love the martini henry. i would love to own one. has anyone ever shot the shotgun martinis? that would be a really cool way to go in my opinion. practical and useful and ammo is easy to get
I have not... Not really an interest, to be honest.
Britishmuzzleloaders, Subject question Do you know Did the British army consider the 1871 Swiss Vetterli rifle a problem given it is a repeater and has muzzle velocity in the low 1,400 FPS ?
I am sure they looked at it, as they did many different rifles... but that's all.
Majestic acoustics, Majestic rifle, Majestic marksmanship, Majestic presentation.
Thanks Neil!
Bwwhahahaha! Excellent video!
Cheers!
Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and jokes and everyone else
Thank you!
Congratulations Private! Fine shooting, but it will be interesting to see if you can keep it up in the white hot heat of battle! (and at 800 yards!!!)
Sure thing!
Do you know any good films beside the usual?
I particularly liked Star Wars, and the first Indiana Jones movie...
@@britishmuzzleloaders Oh no I mean colonial war films besides Zulu and Zulu dawn
That British hat looks like a skunk on steroids attacking your head! LOL I like to look at all the funny British hats and wigs. I can’t fathom why they were ever thought to be anything but silly, let alone attractive or intimidating. The kilt is cool but the crazy headgear is a head scratcher.
Not everyone is familiar with the intricacies of British military headdress.... 😀
I particularly enjoyed watching the application of Newton's law. Big bullet kicks like a mule!
The Martini has a stout but not excessive recoil.
You live in some beautiful country, my friend! But why does the areas you shoot from look like a bomb went off? The background doesn’t match the fore.
Ummmm,..... logging?
Pew! pew, pew, pew! 😂😂😂 my beer went everywhere!
mine too...
Hopefully things cleaned up nicely!
Well done shooting.Enjoyed the acoustics section especially.Thanks
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for your hard work. Did they use hearing protection back then?
Funny!
@@sanseijedi serious question
Huh? What did you say? Speak up!
Apologies; I thought you meant the original sojers. My gunny said to grin & ‘yer lugs won’t feel aught.’ Wasn’t true though.
Sometimes they, I belief, stuffed cotton in their ears. That was the exception though.
Reminds me of the RAF marksman qualification in the 1980s, 3 x 1 inch groups with an SLR at 25yds. 1 standing,1 kneeling, 1 prone.
Nice!
OKAYYYYYY..Who's in second, what's in First..soooo I don't know stayed in third ? LOL. Love it.
Cheers!
*whO?*
Hu’s on first, Watt’s on second
@@509Gman what about Hwom?
No, what....
Dear sir.
I just received a notice that IMA, has a P-1800 flintlock for 14.995°°.
Tower marked and dated 1805.
Thought you might be interested since they're so rare.
Cheers!
