The M1841 Mississippi rifle: tactics, drill, ballistics and accoutrements
Arriving to the final part of the Mississippi series. As next week I won't be able to post a video (I am participating the Muzzle Loading World Championshiops in Valeggio, Iraly), this one is double in time. So fasten seat belts, open a can of beer. 50 minutes of black powder. This film covers quite a few topics: the riflemen drill and tactics in 1840-50s in the US Army, the ballistics of the Mississippi rifle, the recreation of the original muzzle velocity of the .525 roundball, answers the question what happens to the patch tied to the roundball, and follows the history of the rifleman accoutrements until the introduction of the M1855 rifle musket.
