Looking at the french uniforms and weapons, Did the french general staf hate their own Soldiers ?
In every aspect of this war, the disconnect between the military brass and reality is absolutely mind boggling!
The exception that perhaps proves the rule that French generals never really fired the rifles their soldiers used was Charles Mangin. Born in Lorraine annexed by the Germans in the Franco-Prussian war, he held a deep and bitter grudge against them for that. He would frequently go to the front line just to take shots at the Germans, and being wounded several times in the process did not discourage him.
It's glad to see the show has a mature audience. I came down here expecting at least half the top comments to be about the girl who was demonstrating the rifles
I love a woman that smiles when she shoots.
She got a huge smile on her face every time she was about to fire. You can tell she enjoys firing these old school rifles. I may be a pacifist now but there really is nothing like firing a military grade rifle of any era.
I wonder how many guys lost their lives because they got their rifles stuck in the mud or in some debris, or lost a shootout because the only had a 3 round clip.
whenever they show the troops of Britain ,Germany ,France , marching or just walking past the camera it's noticeable how shorter the French were. Sometimes they just look the size of schoolboys. All brave men but it is noticeable.
As a gun/history nerd I really like seeing this!
The lebel was so long (especially with the bayonet attached) it was nicknamed "the fishing rod" by the soldiers.
I really like how Othais explains the evolutiion of the guns. Subscribed to his channel.
This crossover episode was brilliant. I look forward to more to come!
This channel should be on TV every day! At least on History or Discovery!
Woah. I'm following the episodes in chronological order, and is amazing how this guys just keep improving!
In keeping with the military thoughts of the time, the three shot capacity was to keep troops from "wasting ammunition". Only late in the war did the French adopt the thought "Firepower Kills".
Brilliant idea! Keep these coming, I can't wait to see the lovely British Lee Enfield!
At the start of the war, many French military thinkers, convinced that constant, relentless attacking would carry the day, considered a rifle to be just something onto which a bayonet was mounted. Little wonder not a lot of thought was given to making it a modern "shooter."
Forgotten Weapons crossover-- the People demand it!
Superb,this level of detail is rare in any popular series.Looking forward to future episodes in this gun series.
