unnamed boi Smooth muskets actually are not as inaccurate as some people think it’s very possible to hit something at 100 meters but beyond that unless you’re an incredible marksman you’re fucked
will this work for a cap and ball 6 shooter also, or not? cuz I dont wanna have to get a conversion kit. I like the paper cartridges but so far people r saying I have to get the metal cartridge conversion cylinder kit.
Usually you don't use paper cartridges in your cap and ball revolvers. You load the predetermined measurement of poweder into the chambers of th cylinder, followed by a led ball (or paper wad if you want to shoot blanks) in each chamber followed by a little bit of grease. Then you put the Perkussion caps on the Perkussion Nippes.
I was watching history of Russian Cossacks when I wondered what is the thing on both sides of their uniform. Searched for answers, found one in quora, mentioned something about paper cartridge and it lead me here lol
Paper cartridges were made by British industry and issued to the troops. Same with any Army of the time. The Infantry personal loaded and shot them. They never made them... unless they had a rifle and were assigned as such. Then is was patched round ball.
Certainly units that remained in contact with a supply depot would be issued ammunition--but staying in contact with a supply depot is not always possible. If you were in the Australian bush, miles away from the nearest box of pre-rolled cartridges ("inna woods" in modern shooting slang), you'd not only need to roll your own cartridges but also cast your own balls. This is why every man with a musket or rifle was also issued a bullet mold and ladle in addition to the other tools of his trade. This very channel even has a video mentioning it: ua-cam.com/video/iz3NZ6dL-e0/v-deo.html
No, before the adaptation of Linear Tactics soldiers had to manually fill firearms with loose lead and blackpowder. Even then, it still took a minute for troops to fully adapt paper cartridges.
@@afinoxi With loose ammo, shooting 2 shots a minute would be a miracle, it's not that the soldiers were slow as much as loading and firing the weaponry was slow. Even with paper cartridges and steel ramrods, 3 shots a minute (Which was standard in the majority of European armies) was actually pretty fast, but not the fastest. Prussian soldiers could be pushed to 6 shots per minute but this is impractical in the battlefield as a soldier could easily wear them self out maintaining this speed. I've even heard stories of some people pushing 8 shots a minute but just that, stories.

I do wish these videos would use the correct terminology! This is a POWDER FLASK, not a powder horn. How can we hope to educate people when you use actors that don't know what they are talking about? Keith.
"Powder horn" is just the term for a powder flask made partly or wholly from horn, as they often were in those days, and the term evolved to refer to powder flasks of all kinds. Certainly the term was in use by the time of the colonization of Australia to refer to British infantrymen's all-metal powder flasks despite having not a speck of horn in them.
So you're not showing them how to make a paper cartridge, at all. You're showing them how to roll some paper and pour some powder up it. So a firework. How unsurprising from an Australian, who so willingly surrendered their rights and firearms to please Karen's in city buildings.
We didn't surrender all our rights after the dreadful port Arthur masicure we learned a big lesson the then conservative federal government of John Howard the state and territory governments tightened up the gun laws in big way here in Australia for a person to own a gun they have to have a licence and a reason for owning a gun also certain types of firearms were banned from possession from the public such as semi automatic and automatic assault rifles etc there was also a big buy back scheme.When the port Arthur masicure happened in 1996 over thirty people lost their lives because of nut case Martin Bryant.Since the laws here in Australia were tightened up by the federal and state governments in 1996 after the port Arthur masicure the number of gun deaths has plummeted we still have the odd shooting death here and there but nothing of the equivalent of the 1996 Port Arthur masicure or any of the regular shooting incidents that happen in the United States in fact the yanks maybe should consider pulling their heads out of clouds and look at what we got right here in Australia and maybe stop and think about the number of gun related deaths and masicures the US seems to suffer from certainly both Canada and New Zealand have adopted stricter gun laws after both countries suffered horrific gun related masicures.My knowledge of firearms is limited to when I lived on a farm as a teenager where I used both a 22 calibre bolt action anshultz rifle and a Winchester double barrel under and over shotgun which were used on local wildlife in Gippsland Victoria this is of course of thirty five years ago so I have some firearms knowledge and I believe the liberal national government of PM John Howard did what was needed in 1996 after the Port Arthur masicure even though I don't vote for the conservative liberal party. People need to realise gun ownership is privilege not a right this is something the yanks need to also realise.Will the Americans change maybe but I doubt it and the result will be continued gun related masicures while they insist on their second amendment garbage thank goodness I don't live in America.
Do you seriously think that on Campaign the British Infantry did not see any wear to their uniforms? In fact it is thoroughly in keeping with Historical fact to see buttons missing, holes in jackets and trousers and patched jackets from trouser material as was the case with the Rifle Regiments of the Pensinsular War. Nothing to do with disrespect, perhaps more to do with Historical Reality ... and I say this with a Great Grandfather who served 15 years in the 60th Rifles KRRC.
So you're saying British soldiers at the time were that disciplined and tidy? Mate, these are the guys who throw away kitchen equipment if they're tired of carrying it, these guys were usually criminals, run-away farmers and jilted lovers. What makes you think they'll give a shit about being represented like untidy cunts?
Rather ingenious for it's time
I made a live round and shot a deer with it
??? what the hell?!
Oh God u are safe....
It's surprising you hit a deer. Was it rifled?

Can i use goat horn to store powder
Do the paper cartridge work on the flintlock pistols?
yeah, its basically for all flintlock weapons
@@insertusername221 yeah make sense for all of them
where is the primer
The primer is a portion of powder from the cartridge or separate container in the flash pan.
Paper cartridges were made by British industry and issued to the troops. Same with any Army of the time. The Infantry personal loaded and shot them. They never made them... unless they had a rifle and were assigned as such. Then is was patched round ball.
@ Pavia- However, if they ran out of factory made, they rolled their own !

so gun salutes never use live rounds?
Correct. Firing off live rounds in what is supposed to be a simple display is just asking for disaster.
The poor wanker who was just passing by gets hit by one of the bullets
Would this method be accurate for XV-XVI century firearms?
No, before the adaptation of Linear Tactics soldiers had to manually fill firearms with loose lead and blackpowder. Even then, it still took a minute for troops to fully adapt paper cartridges.

Powder flasks used to be made from horns. This is why they can be called "horns."
