Very informative, thanks! I was especially interested in what gunners do to disable the piece if their position is about to be overrun by the enemy. Beside "spiking", I've heard that breaking off the "pointing rings" was another way of disabling a gun. But to me this wouldn't prevent the gun from being turned and used immediately to fire (almost point blank) canister on fleeing troops. A good UA-cam informative (which hasn't been done yet to my knowledge) on the "hows and whys" of such disabling might be something to consider.

US Artillery was crucial to Union victory. The U.S. maintained a clear advantage in artillery throughout the War and this advantage became more one-sided as the War continued. Great video The artillery crews were specialized and well trained. Thanx for the very detailed infornation. 13B
There's many logistics involved with cannon gunnery. Imagine whay it was like being on the receiving end of these guns! They'd rip right through people like they were human bowling pins! They'd also make a mess out of any standing structures. This presentation was very interesting to watch! Idk why it appeared in my recommendations? But I'm happy to have caught this one! I live in a town that recreates the Battle @ New Market. I also live inside a historic building that was used as a Civil War hospital during that time. I wish they used more authenic cannons with their annual event. They seem to use modernized reproductions that can't fire projectiles. They can only make the noise of one. That takes away from the realism. If it takes a team of 4 men, they should have it down like you guys do! It all requires training & dedication to your position for the team! I'm certain they would have to make due whenever members of the team were hit with approaching fire. Then it can be reduced to a 1 to 3-man concept. The Civil War was one of the worst brutal campaigns we've ever been involved in as a country. We suffered more death & losses than the later two world wars combined! It also exposed how badly our medical profession suffered. Antibiotics & other medical advances would've saved tens of thousands that perished from their wounds. Nice video! 👍
IntoTheAbyss OfTheUnknown well they had some medicine and why didn’t they use alcohol or burning on wounds like they did in history before. They seemed to do too many amputations.

very interesting listening to you, now all my questions among a long time about black powder canons are responded. So we in Germany like the history about the old west despite we don't know the real reasons why the civil war happened. Greetings from Germany......
Whew! Quite a lot of specializations for the crewmembers. I wonder how enemy infantry would operate captured guns after turning them and firing them (if already loaded). Did they teach basic artillery skills to a few first line infantrymen per unit or would they have 'spare artillerymen' traveling with them in the back of the line?
They would guess... it isnt too much different from firing a musket... but in a pinch it would do. Captured guns would eventually be turned over to fully trained artillery crews...
It was mentioned firing canister through the gun. I know that for the mid/late war confederate ordnance department specifications for the light 12 pounder was a loadout of 16 spherical case, 8 solid shot, 4 shell, and 4 canister. But that was for a smoothbore gun. How common was it for federal crews to use canister in a rifled gun such as your Parrott? (I'm an infantryman but find artillery fascinating so please forgive any ignorance on my part)
It wasn’t as good as the larger caliber smoothbore cannons… but they did pick a few canister rounds in rifled cannon limbers.. by mid late war… strategy adjusted more as officers understood the effectiveness of rifled cannon and accuracy at greater distance… but rifled cannon would still end up needing canister as there was no guarantee that you wouldn’t face infantry….

I've had a full scale ord rifle since the 80s. I got a full scale parrott rifle bbl. a while back & can't find a rear Sight anyware. Ware does everybody get them? I'm considering using a hause sight as apparently they were used on some parrotts also. Now I've got 2 bbls & one carriage. Does anybody out there make projo molds?
Primers are pretty safe as long as they are not crushed. But we do secure them in padding, and a non-crushing area of the lumber. If you want more information or videos find us on Facebook facebook.com/BatteryI Our website www.batteryi.org More videos at: ua-cam.com/users/Batteryi

I reckon ACW cannon are the most beautiful. Thank you for a superb video.

Brian Fuller think maybe shells and bullets more than artillery. Some artillery was taken when captured.
Well, they certainly worked. I've seen the photos of the dead of Antietam.
Safety is key. Wouldn’t want anyone to get injured by the cannon.
Excellent!! Thank you for posting.
Great job, good pace!

Big hit and a miss looking at those targets and gives soldiers more chance to avoid shell hopefully.

The gun drill done by the Navy and Marines was the same and different at the same time.
Would like to know more about that sight. Thanks
What questions do you have?
Which part of the sight?
@@Batteryi all of it. Measurements would be great.
I Want a Cannon , Please . For rabbit hunting, of course. 😇

"Thumbstall"? Is that what the leather thumb covering called?
Correct
how sensitive are those primers to schocks and knocks while being transported? Thanks
