- The modern metallic centrefire cartridge is an incredibly efficient piece of design, but it didn’t come into existence because of one large technological advancement, instead it is a product of a multitude of small iterative improvements.

Owe that great feeling when you find a Gem of a small of a small channel.
Cheers!
Amazing 🤩
Seriously good! I’m an American and this Brit has a better knowledge of firearms than the gun owners (including myself)! It’s a true gem in the haystack!
This needs more views. I am glad I was searching for “invention of modern bullet”, so I found this. Great video!
Thank you!
I agree and found the video in the same way.
We really are curious eh. I came from history of firearms to cartridges and bullets
Lucky to found this channel early.
That's much appreciated.
As some of you eagle eyed viewers may have noticed some of the ammunition on screen isn’t quite what it seems.
As you should be able to tell from my voice, I’m English, and whilst firearms are far from banned, they are stringently controlled, and I don’t have a firearms licence.
This means that I can’t legally possess ammunition, so I’ve had to do a little fakery. The Centrefire cartridges that you see on screen are real in a sense, except, they’ve been fired.
They are just a brass case, and a bullet, they have no propellant, and the primer has been fired.
The musket ammunition is entirely faked. The musket ball is a lead slingshot ball, the cloth patch is just a piece of cloth that I’ve cut up, and the “black powder” is actually the waste products from a wood burning stove.
In non-covid times I probably would have been able to film more of the real deal, but I don’t feel it detracts from the video.
Your recreation is pretty good. It get's the idea across. Just about every close up shot of food in commercials is fake but they get the idea across. So you're in good company.
I'm glad you think so.
There was also the needle fire design as in the French Chassepot rifle.
This is exactly the video I was looking for! Very well done, great video!
Thank you!
You forgot to mention about brass cartridges , at one time copper was used, making the shell too soft to extract, leading to jams
I hadn't heard of that, thank you.
Awesome video and explanation. Thanks!
the explanation with the animation is is easy to understand and fun to watch, great video!
Thank you!
This maybe the best video i have seen. There was info on things I never new...
Fun fact, the first cartridge fed gun was made at the same time as the flintlock became popular.
Invented by Samuel Paulie?
Why did they not catch on?
@@douglasbubbletrousers4763 expense and discomfort with new tech
@douglasbubbletrousers4763 probably cost or reliability
Fun fact : no
Paper cartridge have been around since the late 16th century so they predate flintlocks.
If you’re referring to modern cartidges, the first integrated cartridge dates from 1808 and by that time flintlock had been the standard for almost a century.
the exact video to my question!
Glad to be of assistance!
GOOD STUFF!
Well researched, Well organised, Well explained👍👍
Everything I wanted to know. Thanks.
Amazing video for a small channel!
That is much appreciated.
Underrated video. I’m here after playing War of Rights.
Your video is very good. I am surprised it doesn't have that many views.
Thanks!
Amazing video verry informative
Thank you!
Make a video on How are modern cartilage made
I shall add it to my list.
You skipped over the Pauley self contained cartridges which came before the Pin fire
You really did your research 🧐 I’m rather impressed I own several firearms modern and historical and I am in college classes for the science and technology of firearms but this is very accurate and correct I couldn’t have done a better job myself great examples and animations! If you ever visit America you should visit me I’d love for you to meet the rest of my class and show your video to them!
I'm glad you liked it, I certainly enjoy the mechanics of firearms, and the incremental design improvements that have happened over the years.
I will be citing you for my essay and you got my subscription I hope to see more videos!
Awesome, thank you!
I wonder the future ammunition will be, maybe we will do away with ballistics all together?
I dissagree blackpowder needs a longer barrel for its slower burn and gas pressure rate.
You simply use less and it fixes the issue or pistols and my 28 inch barrel jaeger would not work.
Factor rifling in as this greatly helps pressure to rise.
I had a second thought on watching this in public 💀
Please don't load the pan first. Many people have lost their fingers that way
