Mae was shaken but not stirred by this Martini.
great commit didn't hit me at first
😂😂👍🏾👍🏾
That martini pun was dirty. You don’t have to leave, but you’re welcome to get your hat and coat.
@@CAP198462 Huh? I'm sure that's what James Bond says in movies when offered alcohol beverages, I'm not aware if his replies have any sexual meaning.
@@CAP198462
I'm not really sure why you would think that. It is a double meaning. First and most obviously, a reference to James Bond. Second, that Mae handled the recoil (shaken) and wasn't intimidated (stirred).
POV: The scout from halfway across the map using nothing but iron sights
We have lost objective butter
@@MachinistJohnthe enemy control all objectives…
While running, he spins a 180 and boom…headshot.
@@dannyhoward3437 that would be call of duty, they were referencing battlefield.
@@sinisterthoughts2896 BF is equally ate-up with cheating scumbags.
Honestly, I was expecting British Muzzleloader would appear again with his signature “OI!” 😂
Like any Martini has some necessities: bullets, sling, ANGRY RED COAT SERGEANT, bayonet, etc.
Modern day me: "What! Only one single round?"
Nineteenth Century Soldier: "A single round was all we needed, sir!"
"It's quick to reload, innit?"
30 rounds lad? How often do you plan on missing?
@@silverjohn6037 hit rate of 1%
"Aye, beats a dam'd Pike all to hell."
I love the Martini-Henry, I'll never forget the first time I held one. It was an original one too, produced in 1873 (if my memory serves me right) and used by the British in Southern Africa. Absolutely gorgeous rifle.
"Men of Harlech, onto glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before thee
Welshmen will not yield"
And critics of bards in fantasy games insist there was never any music in warfare.
The Welsh thing was played up for the film, most of them weren't Welsh.
@@snowflakemelter1172 Bore off you tedious troll.
"Here they come, black as coal and thick as grass!"
getting my friend henry a martini
" It's a miracle! "
" If it's a miracle Colour Sargent, it's a short chamber Martini Henry 4.5 caliber miracle."
" And a bayonet sir, with some guts behind it."
Zulu
I recently bought a Martini henry chambered in 303. Its one of the most enjoyable guns I've ever shot, It blows my Remington Rolling Block, Snide-Enfield, and Springfield Trapdoor away.
The fact that they 'modernized' (for the time) some of these old guns for a fairly common cartridge is the best part(Mine is from Egypt, apparently some of the colonial forces were recommission in this pattern to save cost of a Enfield MkIII, mine is stamped 1903 on the receiver).
I shot over 100 rounds the first day, it kept a 6 inch circle at 100 yards with crap 1966 surplus ammo.
Waiting on Lt. Chard...
LOL...wearing the Tshirt and this Minute of Mae shows up!
great minute, and finally, after a long while, a Cheshire cats' grin!!, closest to her signature laugh that we've had in a long time 🙂
If it goes bang and throws lumps of metal Mae always seems to have a smile regardless of crap ergonomics or the severity of the recoil. I sometimes think she's a glutton for punishment.
Where is the redcoat muzzleloading officer? Is he safe? Is he alright?
Oh boy, more Martinis
Always good to start the day with a Minute of Mae.
thats a good rhyme
You should put a red dot on it. Great informative video.
I got a Mk III from 1882 made for the Canadian army of the time, very happy with it 😁
More to come!
Great Job Mae 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's a BIG round!
This rifle reminds me of the movie:"The Man Who Would Be King".
Also Zulu.
"Hats on!!"
@@claywest9528 Michael Caine was a great actor.🫡
The British sure do tinker with their service weapons to no end.
You have all the cool gear.
Good video
I cannot begin to tell you how many times I've been killed in Battlefield 1 by this gun.
Everytime I hear the term "Martini-Henry", it always reminds of the song from the old Martini and Rossi alcohol commercials ("Martini and Rossi, on the rocks!...")
Mae is CUTE!!!
One martini issued for WW2 was the Martini Cadet. Issued in 42 to home guard (VDF) in Australia. Plenty sold into the US as surplus nice cheap little rifles.
The Martini was a ridiculously practical rifle so foolproof that even a raw illiterate recruit from the London slums could handle without fouling up. As far as the sights were concern, I don't think they worried too much about target acquisition since British troops usually fired in volleys. A rain of 450 grain bullets was bound to hit someone in a mass human wave attack. Ouch!
If you take in Brittish Muzzle Loaders content you will see that musketry practice was well in advance of simply putting out volleys. It's also a myth that a late Victorian era volunteer would be illiterate. There were huge social changes in the 19th century and even the children of the working poor would be literate and numerate. A soldier who was not "lettered" was of little use.
The original 577/450 bullet weight was 480 grains... Musketry was, and is, important - so aiming, accuracy and even range estimation was important in the British Army from 1850 onwards. The book 'The Destroying Angel' by Brett Gibbins, a serving US Army Reserve officer, is a very good read about the introduction and use of the rifled musket by the British, and why training was so useful and successful.
@@OldSmokey1953Bullet drop might not matter too much as the range they might suddenly be needed.
On of these bullets hitting between head and ankle would be really nasty.
@@zoiders Indeed. Critics saying they were "uneducated" just meant they didn't have the public school (boarding/prep school for Americans) education in Latin and Greek.
@@silverjohn6037 A huge number of them aquired greater literacy through the efforts of Methodist Sunday schools. People confuse the poverty and deprivation of the Georgian era with the reconstructive attitudes of the Victorian one.
🙂Good shootin', thank you!💯👍!
Best fun rifle I ever had
Whoot whoot
Good morning, Mae, I would be in the front rank of your section if they were handing out Martini's. I have been trying to get an example for my collection for years. I have the brass, reloading gear and even cast projectiles for them. I will own one soon, Cheers
"Views, thousands of 'em"
that 450 martini is one CHONKY round.
After Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift there were many seriously wounded Zulus who survived being hit by this beast of a bullet and recovered. Read "The Washing of the Spears", the Zulu War chapters still make my heart race and I've read it at least 10 times
Sir’s prepare to defend KING’s colour’s🎶
My briefest exposure to one revealed it to be a surprisingly comfy rifle. I was expecting something very agricultural.
I always want a rifle like this, but every time I look for It on the internet.It's good goddamn expensive as all hell and nothing I have or ever will have will ever be as expensive as one of these
Mae is ejecting the cases briskly. If they are not, or if the rifle is not tilted when the empty is ejected, the cases will fly back and dent the comb of the butt of your 150 year old treasure.
I wonder if that ammo is commercially avaliable or custom handloads .
Красотка❤ с мартини!😂
Generator, Recoil, Mk. I.
What Grain Bullet did it shoot in War Time?
What's the ramrod for ?
Jaimerai tellement en version francaise
Nothing makes a gang of thugs think twice about charging your church like that bad boy.
I'm curious. Where do you find ammo for that thing?
You need to keep this rifle well oiled, otherwise you'll have a dry Martini.
That rifle is sexy as hell.
I prefer Gin & Tonic Henry
