As times were, my guess would be that their opponents would have probably argued with the old testament. Where slavery was actually only condemned if you took slaves of your own tribe if i remember correct. Anybody else was basically free realestate with rules how to treat them.
Can you imagine the reaction of a 19 century shooter, that spent years or decades using this type of rifle, when he finally got his hands on a rifle with self contained ammunition? No more caps, just insert, shoot, eject. If the change was for something even more modern, like a lever/bolt action repeater, what a dream. Hard to think you will not see his crocked teeth...
@@kirkstinson7316 True, but, a new firearms technology is not universally adopted the next year. For example, smokeless powder emerged in 1886, but 20 years later people were still shooting black powder rifles in WW1, because of big old stocks of them. So, at last to me, is perfectly possible some poor soul were still stuck with those caps well into the era of the metallic cartridge.
@@torg2126 There was plenty of black powder used in WWI, but usually not on the front, not by (most) major powers anyway. Germany was even still using the Reichsrevolver in small numbers. I'm sure many Russians would have loved to have been issued some muskets instead of shovels.
I'd love to do it, but my range is too fudd to allow things like: Steel targets Shot timers Dynamic movement of any kind the fact that I can shoot an AR or AK at all is kind of surprising, to be honest.
@@keimolantio The rules vary widely. Some ranges are like that (mostly indoor ones in my experience) and others have literally no posted rules whatsoever (especially when you're just driving out to Federal Woodland / Grassland areas which only really have actual state and federal law for firearms generally regulating them, but no "range rules")
Karl, beautiful job on those paper cartridges. I've never seen anyone make them so precisely fitted, usually they're sporting a long tail to be cut off. You sure saved a mess of loose powder around the breach block. Nice.
Here in Arizona that would be legal for any big game, but you would have to draw a rifle tag instead of a muzzle loader tag because it loads from the breech instead of the muzzle. In Arizona our largest big game is Elk, similar to a Red Deer/Stag but larger on average. That being said if you have to draw a rifle tag you may as well use a centerfire rifle.
Be honest Karl, the only reason you chose the sharps was to give yourself a nice long rest period between throws of the KB. :) Nice video and a great way to include everyone. Technically, you could do the same with air rifles if your country doesn't allow you to use the real thing.
Thank you so much for remote brutality!!! I completely underestimated 20kg. After nearly dying because I am so unfit. I have profound respect for everyone throwing this weight around.
I don’t know if it’s just my watch history or all the views the algorithm has available, but the top result of a search for “remote” is remote brutality. Congrats to everyone who has participated!
Absolutely brilliant marksmanship, if I may say so. I love the fact that you did it with such an obsolete gun. Getting to see how such guns perform on such a well-designed drill as this one is an absolute blessing so thank you for showing some live history in action like this. Ultimately this stuff isn't about being the best out there. It is about being the best you possible. This is why I think this is one of the best stage designs out there. The fact that the gun you use is mitigated so much is such a great thing for this drill. Sure, Karl could have likely gotten 3 bonuses relatively easily with a modern rifle but my point is that the biggest limiting factor by far in this drill is you. This drill does a great job putting as much emphasis on you the shooter over the rifle as possible when there are many stages that don't do that.
Pretty awesome you have a drill named after you.. and the WWSD. No one can ever say you didnt have a lasting impact in the firearms world. Always enjoy the content. Thanks Karl, Ian, Russell and even Deviant.
sadly in the uk I only have access to an airgun currently. nut up or shut up though I guess! seems like this challenge is still workable with the equipment i have access to.

Well done, Sir. Having the moral stance to say you wont fly without having had the vaccine. If everyone had those standards the world would be a safer place.
Great drill . As far as imagining fighting with a Sharps, today , Probably not. In the 1860's better then a muzzle loading musket LOL GREAT VIDEOS John

@@InrangeTv hey Carl forgot to ask if you guys are still doing mud tests cause I would like to offer my ps90 as tribute plus it would just be interesting to see what happens
Good lad Karl grounded himself because he didn't want to spread the virus during pandemics. Thank you. Too bad my back pain won't forgive me throwing 20 kg like that and I do not have a gun :)
I never realized you had to pull the used percussion cap off... not sure why but it never occurred to me. I learned something new and I thank you for that, Karl!!!
I think a good alternative to a 45-pound kettle bell for this drill would be a 45-pound rucksack or pack, which was a pretty standard, minimum weight for a pack when I was in the military. Maybe toss the pack and wherever it lands is your next shooting position, but you're allowed to rest the rifle on the pack if you choose to.
6:38 i LOVE the sub-sonic sound.... . BOOM pissssssssssssss TING! . i think super sonic cartridges also do it.... but i normally just hear the TWACK of it hitting a deer...... and its gotta be at longer ranges...... or its all so closely spaced its hard to tell . another thing i find very cool...... watching a 0.177 cal pellet fly threw the scope no recoil on an air rifle..... and VERY slow FPS..... . when the sun is right.... you can see that sucker fly
I think the Kasarda drill has potential outside of the firearms community as an outdoor field exercise. You have your kettlebell, medicine ball or rock and set distance but you replace the shooting with a set of exercise such as burpees or pushups or even throwing a tennis ball at a target.
A Chassepot or a Dreyse would be even better. You still get to use a BP paper cartridge gun without the need to worry about placing a percussion cap before every shot. Perfect SHTF weapon, short of just using a flintlock for lack of percussion caps or a bow and arrow for lack of gunpowder.
7:26 i think that was a bad call, considering they told you later not to hit your rifle. You should just always throw it from over your equipment for safety.
Excellent Carl! What a success Remote Brutality has been, however, there is a downside. The US ammo' shortage has been surpassed by the world kettle bell shortage (wink).
As has been mentioned in previous videos, I think a short safety brief on proper kettle bell throwing is needed. While including everyone in this is an awesome event, I’d hate for someone to get injured while trying to have fun.
That stage is probably close to what infantry warfare was like in 1861-65..a lot of grunting, fumbling and praying. I wonder if my local range would accomodate this excercise if I was the only shooter on the line? One can hope. PS Mighty nice cartriges!
I had a Pedersoli Sharps 1859. While a beautiful rifle my rear sight was made wrong and was mounted upside down too. I sent it back and got another Sharps but then it would never shoot. No matter how or how much I cleaned it, no matter what round, load, etc it just would not shoot. I sent it back to DGW and exchanged it for a pedersoli P53 Enfield. Thinking of getting another one though. Just so beautiful.
Nice video thanks for sharing. One question: I open the breach after firing and the spend musket cap falls off by itself. Ist there a reason to pull IT prior to opening the breach? Thanks for an answer and greetings from Germany
that determined walk while pulling a paper cartridge is peak Karl badassery
I love Karl's solution to the ammo shortage: use a rifle where he can make his own ammo.
You also shoot way less shots in 180 seconds
Ive thought about it
I bought a few hundred musket caps, Pritchet bullets and Minie balls for my Parker Hale Enfield. I still need to get it out, but I think I can have some fun with it.
