@@DavidEllis94 A 800 m, Même avec un fusil moderne sans lunette de précision, l'exercice est difficile !!! A l'armée on tirait à 250 mètres et c'était déjà compliqué (sans lunette).
It is his accent, he says ‘A’ ‘undred yards, he leans heavily on the ‘a’ instead of a soft ‘ah’ making it sound like 8 and UA-cam captions misinterpreted it.
@@GS-dc4dtI'm watching the actual episode as I type this having seen this discussion a few days ago, and realized Dan does say a hundred yards, only with his accent, and when you remember Bess was saying at the dinner the previous evening that Ellie was a crac shot at 100 yards, why would the contest be at a range of 8 times that range? 100 yards it is...
I was really confused by the comments. He clearly said 100 yards to me. I even rewatched to make sure. Also, if i remember correctly, Sharpe's company was one of riflemen, not musketmen.
Doing better than we did using M4s for the first time. Barely anybody could hit the targets in front of our faces. Even the first sergeant was having a bad day and I had to be next to him.
Having read all of the books, some several times. I seem to remember Sharpe was a good shot, but not that good. He was, after all, human. Which was one of the reasons why he was so beloved.
Yea, there were men in his regiment who were better shots. Sharpe could hold his own with the best when it came to rapid reload on either the musket (nearly 5 a minute) or the rifle (just under one a minute)
Some historical trivia: at this time, a guinea was worth one pound one shilling, or twenty one shillings. Harper's pay as a Sergeant would have been one shilling six-and-a-quarter pence per day, or just under 1 guinea per fortnight. So the one hundred guinea bet he took represented just over three years, nine and a half months' pay for him. And Sharpe was going to throw the match. Not sure I'd call that soldiering, sir!
800 yds with a smoothbore musket? Nobody could reliably hit a school buss at such a distance with such a gun. She could beat him with that RIFLE at a mere 80 yds, grouping 2-3" for her shots, while he wont be able to stay in 12".
I'm afraid you're wrong. In monetary value, one guinea from 1807 is more or less 78 £. According to the Bank of England's inflation calculator. In material value, considering that a guinea was a quarter of an ounce of gold and that today's (4-12-2024) gold value is £2085,62, one guinea is worth 521 crisp british pounds.
@@julianaylor4351 indeed, a hundred guineas was a monstrous amount of money in the early 1800s. Later in the series, Jane steals 18,964 pounds 14 shillings and eight pence from Sharpe. A LUDICROUS amount of money, equivalent to something in the ballpark of one and a half million pounds today.
A couple of things, we all know that those rifles are not accurate enough to do this regardless of who's shooting it. The next thing is I was at the shooting range and there was some powder guys there, and just as they were getting started a man took a shot and for some reason his pack rod was in the barrel of the gun. That man's life changed that day.
i love to see this in movies'. Muskets and early rifles being actually accurate out to decent ranges. A brown bess musket could shoot Minute of man (a man sized grouping) at 500 yards every time in the hands of a good shooter. Edit for the argumentative fools man sized is height based not width based. meaning man sized groupings are huge, like 6 feet. at 500 yards a Brown Bess is capable of grouping less than 6 feet)
At 500 yards? No, even if the musket is held perfectly on target, just its inherent dispersion will lead to a grouping considerably larger than a man-sized target. Yes, smoothbores were way more precise than popular imagination gives them credit for, but at 500 yards? Absolutely not.
@DavidEllis94 I advise looking up some accuracy tests of a brown Bess musket with historically accurate loads. They could hit a human sized grouping (that's like a 6 foot by 3 foot box) at 500 every time with the proper load and a competent shooter. Tactics were used that favored being closer, because the weapon certainly was not ideal at 500 yards by any stretch. But it was possible and it was good enough to fire into a formation of guys walking towards you as it was done more than once. You can find plenty of examples of formations being harassed by musket fire from "extreme" ranges during this era of combat.
@@lostwizardcat9910 At 500 yards hitting every time? Again, absolutely not. I have looked up accuracy figures and never found even the slightest bit of evidence for that kind of precision at that distance with a smoothbore. The notion of musket fire being useless past 50 yards is nonsense, but you're taking that to the opposite extreme, claiming accuracy against a point target that vastly exceeds the reality. And yes, musket fire is well attested being used past 200 and even 300 yards in formations. That is VERY different from being accurate against individual men from that distance. Those were uses of massed fire against formation targets.
@@DavidEllis94 If you think minute of man at 500 is out of the question your a fool plain and simple. You don't even seem to know that minute of man actually is, and that there's a rough calculation for it. MOA is 1 inch per 100 yards. Minute of man is about 18 inches per hundred yards. Meaning at 500 yards Minute of man would be roughly 90 inches, or 7.5 feet. (that's only slightly larger than the average male today) So in you genuinely don't think this gun could shoot a 7 and a half foot grouping at 500 yards I'm truly sorry for you but I have some bad news.
Pride. He was already embarrassed about turning down the wager because he couldn't afford it. When his marksmanship was challenged he felt he had to accept or lose face in front of the other officers.
I know it is just fiction and all (and so much of Sharp is really fictional) but even the riffled gunes of the chosen men at that time would never be that accurate. Nobody could shoot like that with those guns because they just aren't that accurate. it was said that only 1 in 20 shots from those riffles found their mark, compared to 1 in 200 from normal muscets, impressive compared for the time, but accurate enough for this kind of shooting, no. I am not from an english speaking country there are likely gramatical errors, sorry.
At 100 yards on a firing range, this is within the capabilities of the rifles of the day. 1 out of 20 hits for even early rifle at 100 yards is abysmal. You can find plenty of examples just on UA-cam of shooters using replica smoothbores at 100 yards and, in the two examples I can think of--Britishmuzzleloaders being one of them--scoring 2 hits of 3 shots on a man sized target at 100 yards. That's with a smoothbore, nevermind a rifle.
@@DavidEllis94 Exactly. There are confirmed reports of kills at 800+ yards (some at 2000+ yards) during the Civil War. Improbable, maybe, but definitely possible. Also, don't forget that the scene from Sgt. York where they shoot for turkeys happened in real life and was documented. Skilled shooters with Kentucky Rifles could put bullets in the same hole.
Bullseyes at 800y w those rifles? I think not. You need a powerful modern rifle, training, and a good scope to make that shot. Almost a half mile.

Actually is doable to hit 🎯 a target 🎯 at 800 yards. They are called sharpshooters for a reason. Special squad. Not average soldier. Believe it or not flintlock systems have massive advantages over modern weapons. In terms of reliability and consistency and accuracy. Modern weapons have only one advantage - speed and rate of fire. Modern weapons has primers, cases, cone bullets... Ball bullets have massive advantages especially in smoothbore weapons. Since the projectiles are large caliber and are very heavy they get affected by the wind negligible. Yes rifles got twist to rotate the bullet but that comes with a huge price. Friction. While through smoothbore simply fly away. And you can cast the bullets by yourself extremely easy. All you need is mold, lead or copper. Even you can fire golden bullet. Get to the target 🎯 and cast it again. Precise measurement of the amount of powder. Down to a fraction of a grain. 1/1000 of a grain . And bullet weight down to a fraction of a grain. You can polish the chamber and barrel. Bullets come out so smooth that if you not put wadding simply will fall out through the barrel. Flintlock gives you the freedom. Cartridges limits you to factory 🏭 preset. Only thing you have to consider is to not overpressure the barrel. And you can shoot with anything that fits inside. Stones, nails... Large caliber smoothbore is the ultimate 🥏.
@МихаилПартизанов Firstly we not talk about me. We talk about extreme level of sharpshooters. With extreme amount of precision. Yes there are scales, methods and molds that can be that precise. Especially on the ball 🏐 molds. Also ball 🏀 projectile can have backspin and lift up the trajectory by the magnus effect. The heavier the projectile the better flight stability. And the less affect from the wind. Yes I can do that. And pretty much anyone else with same equipment.
a round ball slug that is not balanced and a barrel with no rifling. This is total BS 800 yrds to hit the barrel would be lucky ! You can barely see a target 6 inches in diameter at 8oo yrds with no scope, to be accurate in shooting this musket at that range is a farce! Add the fact that the girl was not using a sling and trying to hold the weight of the long barrel steady! Forget this having ever happened!
so many comments from ppl on the accurate shooting makes me laugh and its apparent that they've never held a blackpowder rifle let alone fired 1 because if you had you would know they kick like a mule and are 4 times louder that these fake smoke blowing prop guns..neither of them flinch when they fire, is proof they are fake because a real black powder rifle would kick the shoulder back.. I've shot a H&R black powder rifle that breaks like a single shot 12 gauge and a double triger style like the ones in this video which was fire by a percussion cap a d they both kick worse than an old double barrel 12 guage and are twice as loud...hollywood😂
800 yards? The Brown Bess musket was accurate to around 75 yards generally and the Baker rifle about 200 yards. Rifleman Plunkett of the 95th Rifles killed French General Colbert at an estimated 600 yards and followed up by shooting an Aide de Camp who went to the Generals aid just to prove it wasn't a lucky shot. There are reports of exceptional shots of this nature by individual rifleman but the accepted range of the Baker is generally considered to be 200 yards.

. And bullet weight down to a fraction of a grain. You can polish the chamber and barrel. Bullets come out so smooth that if you not put wadding simply will fall out through the barrel. Flintlock gives you the freedom. Cartridges limits you to factory 🏭 preset. Only thing you have to consider is to not overpressure the barrel. And you can shoot with anything that fits inside. Stones, nails... Large caliber smoothbore is the ultimate 🥏.
Якби ви спробували щось зважити з точністю 1/1000 гран, то зрозуміли що пишете нісенітницю.
@МихаилПартизанов Firstly we not talk about me. We talk about extreme level of sharpshooters. With extreme amount of precision. Yes there are scales, methods and molds that can be that precise. Especially on the ball 🏐 molds. Also ball 🏀 projectile can have backspin and lift up the trajectory by the magnus effect. The heavier the projectile the better flight stability. And the less affect from the wind. Yes I can do that. And pretty much anyone else with same equipment.
🤣🤣🤣
a round ball slug that is not balanced and a barrel with no rifling. This is total BS 800 yrds to hit the barrel would be lucky ! You can barely see a target 6 inches in diameter at 8oo yrds with no scope, to be accurate in shooting this musket at that range is a farce! Add the fact that the girl was not using a sling and trying to hold the weight of the long barrel steady! Forget this having ever happened!
They are using rifles and it was his accent, they shoot at 100 yards
so many comments from ppl on the accurate shooting makes me laugh and its apparent that they've never held a blackpowder rifle let alone fired 1 because if you had you would know they kick like a mule and are 4 times louder that these fake smoke blowing prop guns..neither of them flinch when they fire, is proof they are fake because a real black powder rifle would kick the shoulder back.. I've shot a H&R black powder rifle that breaks like a single shot 12 gauge and a double triger style like the ones in this video which was fire by a percussion cap a d they both kick worse than an old double barrel 12 guage and are twice as loud...hollywood😂
800 yards?
The Brown Bess musket was accurate to around 75 yards generally and the Baker rifle about 200 yards.
Rifleman Plunkett of the 95th Rifles killed French General Colbert at an estimated 600 yards and followed up by shooting an Aide de Camp who went to the Generals aid just to prove it wasn't a lucky shot.
There are reports of exceptional shots of this nature by individual rifleman but the accepted range of the Baker is generally considered to be 200 yards.
800 yards with a flint lock?
Not happening!
👀 🫶 👍
The word sharp no longer has any meaning
There is no way they did this at 800 yards with open sight
Pretty much me in ANY PvP match. I can take a head off from a mile away 🥱
