17:32 it's one of the best explanation on why the firearms became the dominant weapon of the battlefields. "At the end of the day gunpowder weapons democratize warfare. I don't need knights to do all their life in training, I do not need archers to spend all their life in training. I can take that matchlock and give me a day of training I can teach all of you how to fire it without hurting your selves. Give me a couple of weeks, I can teach you how to hurt others."
Great show and tell but he does repeat some myths like the M1 carbine not stopping anything. It’s not a .30 06 but it’s still deadly. And the ping noise actually occurred as the clip exits the garand rifle. If we could hear the interaction with the audience it would be great.
I remember hearing that the M1 Carbine had the same stopping power at 100 yards as a .357 Magnum at the muzzle or something like that, so yes, it is a formidable round. The M1 Carbine was never intended to be a main battle rifle anyway, even though it almost turned out that way. It was something more along the lines of a PDW, light and handy but more useful than a pistol, for drivers, artillerymen etc. The M1 Garand ping is an old myth. Yes, it does make a ping when the clip ejects, but on a noisy battlefield it would be almost impossible for an enemy soldier to hear it. Also, even if they did hear it, a rifleman with an Garand can reload it in seconds so the guy would have it reloaded before they could react. Still a good presentation that I really enjoyed. I love Dr. Faulkner's WWI presentations.
Good lecture, but a few points that might be improved on: At almost the same time the American Civil war was being fought, simultaneous wars in Europe broke out that demonstrated the supremacy of the breech-loading system: The Second Schleswig War in 1864 and the Austro-Prussian war in 1866. In both of these conflicts, the Prussian army used their breech-loading Dreyse needle rifles to gain fire superiority over their Danish and Austrian opponents, still equipped with muzzle-loading rifles. This prompted development and adoption of similar weapons by neighboring, rival powers, most notably France. However, though the Chassepot needle rifle was significantly superior to the Dreyse, flaws in the French command structure and inferiority in artillery lost them the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. Following this war, both powers would move to adopt metallic-cartridge breech loaders, the 1876 Gras for the French and the 1871 Mauser for the newly-declared German Empire. Many other nations would follow suit, developing their own designs or licensing production of foreign rifles. Another turning point in European development of small arms came at the Siege of Plevna in 1877. During this engagement, Ottoman defenders of the town of Plevna (now Pleven, Bulgaria) held off vastly superior numbers of Russian attackers for several months using volley-fire from breech-loaders at distance, and rapid fire from American-purchased repeating rifles to break up assaults. Although the Ottomans were forced to surrender, the effectiveness of these weapons in their role prompted observing European powers to begin developing repeating rifles of their own, which set the stage for the development of tubular-magazine fed rifles such as the Mauser 1871/84 and the Austro-Hungarian Kropatschek. The later of these two provided the basis for the magazine system used in the 1886 Lebel rifle developed by France. Also, regarding the Krag-Jørgensen, it was Norwegian in origin, not Danish, although the Danes did adopt it. Very good lecture.
This is a good show and tell, basic top level information. If you've been watching forgotten weapons the last 6 years you'll be a little bored. The M1 ping thing is a myth.
The lack of "stopping power" of the M-1 carbine is another chew toy that will never go away. There are even idiots who said that North Korean quilted jackets stopped these rounds. The reality is that at 100 meters, the .30 carbine has the same energy as a .357 magnum at the muzzle. It's not going to blow a limb off like a .50 BMG, but one of these anywhere in the torso or head is going to ruin your day.
I mean, without medical care, tetanus vaccines, and antibiotics, anything that make a hole in you is going to ruin your day, possibly the next few weeks and months, potentially the rest of your life.
This was a decent show and tell. It would have been nice to have more information of economic times making decisions on how these wepons came about. Like switching the civil war rifles into breech loaders.
Germans were not the only ones who built their squads around the automatic weapon in WWII, the British built their infantry Sections around the Bren. Discussions about the actual weapons aside, like the Germans the Bren went to one of the more experienced soldier in the section. Unlike the Germans the British went a little further. If you see photo's of British or Commonwealth troops of WWII note the two Kidney pouches, one of those was for things like grenades. The other? Well the other was exactly the right size to hold two magazines for the Bren. Literally every single member of the Section carried at least two magazines for the Section Automatic weapon. In addition every man not on the gun team also carried a cloth bandolier with 100 loose rounds again for the gun. To put that into perspective, the basic load for a British Infantryman for his personal weapon was 120 rounds. He carried 154 rounds for the Bren. The odd number was because a Bren Magazine was usually loaded with 27 rather than 30 rounds to decrease wear on the magazine spring.... So every soldier is carrying more rounds for the gun than for his own rifle.....
Regarding the Model 1893 Mauser bolt action rifle chambered in 7mm "Spanish" Mauser. Lets bring this smokeless military caliber into the 21st century, especially for sporting use (hunting big game for instance). Too bad Ruger's American bolt action sporting rifle isn't chambered in 7mm Mauser (7x57). Better known as .275 Rigby in the Commonwealth nations. Read on. The 7mm Mauser (7x57) was developed originally in 1892 as a military caliber, primarily for Spain, Mexico, Central America, and half of South American governments. Their Armies (soldiers) utilized it extensively. In addition to being chambered in Mauser bolt action rifles, the 7mm Mauser was even chambered in machine guns. In fact, in 1913 during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) a version of the Japanese Arisaka bolt action rifle was produced for the Government of Mexico. This caliber also saw extensive use during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) by both Fascist and Republican factions. No doubt the 7mm Mauser even saw some, but limited use, during both World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945). Not to mention the Spanish American War (1898), and South Africa's Boer War (1899-1902). So much for the military history on the 7mm Mauser.
Sporting use: The 7mm Mauser (7x57),along with the .30-06 Springfield and .375 Holland and Holland Magnum historically, is a world caliber. Africa, India, Europe, North America, and elsewhere it's seen over a century of use hunting big game of the world. Even today (2019) the 7mm Mauser would be an ideal classic dual purpose "deer/elk" caliber for the average North American hunter who wishes to fill the family freezer with fresh venison and elk meat. A quality bolt action sporting rifle, such as this Ruger American if chambered in 7mm Mauser (which unfortunately it isn't), topped with a good 4x scope, and carry sling would give an entire lifetime of service to it's owner. This is one caliber that deserves to be far more popular than it is. It's also highly useful to both sexes, including youth who desire a rifle with lethal killing power on big game, yet has noticeably less recoil than a .30-06 and .270. All rifle calibers are considerably improved over what they were generations back. With modern powders, primers, and bullets they are more effective than ever. Thus does the average North American or Canadian hunter need a magnum? A 7mm Mauser (7x57) with a properly placed shot would be just as effective on a deer, elk, caribou, or moose, especially if kept within 300 yards. Better yet, under 200 yards. ---James A.

Ok lecture for an overview of long-arms, but the audience isnt heard. And he is very interactive with them. Sort of like listening to somebody talking on their phone. You only hear half the conversation. Too bad, as they seem quite knowledgeable. Pistol development is barely mentioned. Also, no Q and A.
Pistols were only really a primary weapon for a very short time, in the 1600s or so they would serve as a shock componant for the cavalry, a single volley of pistol fire before closing in for the charge. Throughout the rest of history they have been little more than a self defence sidearm, not a primary weapons system, thus, are arguably of far lesser importance than the long arms of each period. About the only time pistols became arguably more important was during WWI, where trench clearing teams consisted of Grenadiers protected by pistols (handier in the close confines of trenches), with flanking overwatch conducted by the riflemen. A role I may add that was quickly superseded by SMG's once they were developed..... Considering the time constraints it is hardly surprising that pistols were not covered.... probably why the Q & A was not covered as well, which is a shame as Faulkner is a pretty interesting lecturer.

Love his presentations. Watched his Pershing WW1 videos. Great presenter.
Shout out to the private that got 23 rounds stuck down the muzzle. Glad to hear us failures had representation even back then.
I love this presentation, not only informative but also humorous.

My hubby is a hand loader and showed the M1Carbine is easily equal to the 0.357 magnum.

Great talk, but should have recorded the questions segment.
Absolutely amazing!
0:23 he talks about the "earlier classes". Can we have those too please?

Where did this event take place? What was the event? (asking for a citation)
