- Please read before commenting: A very basic overview of some of the main U.S. military rifles since the 18th century. We mainly look at the evolution of the technology in primary issue rifles or rifles similar to them that I happen to own.
Since I chat unscripted without a leash for 35 minutes, you can imagine that I have a little clean-up to do. :-) I'll add needed correction here in the description below. I won't add much elaboration, as this is not meant to be a video about the entire history or everything about these specific firearms; it's more of a basics video, as I state at the beginning, to give folks something of a picture of the major stepping stones in military musket / rifle development through the last 200 + years.
Some clarification or further BASIC information:
1. The Brown Bess is a smooth bore musket, like most shotgun barrels. I mistakenly call it a rifle in the video. I don't think I mention it, but the 1858 Enfield used in the Civil War has a rifled barrel, as do all the firearms on the table after the Brown Bess.
2. The tubular magazines of lever guns are not safe with pointed bullets. Think about it. :-) The 1895 Winchester lever gun solved this by not using the tubular magazine, but with most lever guns, we were limited to flatter-nosed bullets. The bolt gun, with rounds stacked on top of one another, allowed as sharp a point on the bullet as we wanted.
3, For some reason (Brain fade), I failed to show you how the Garand loads. Guess most of you have seen it in the movies, at least, and hopefully, in our Garand videos. :-)
4. I believe Eugene Stoner was developing the AR-10 even before the '60s, but the AR15/M16 did not get into soldiers hands until the '60s, I believe.
We have videos on all these firearms. Please search from the home page for any of these firearms, and you'll find at least one video, I believe.

In case some of y'all are wondering why those guns look so small in his hands, just remember that Hickok is a 6'8 tall alpha chad of a human
2 things Hickok45 has never done:
“Yeah, see the flint on the lock? I bet that’s why it’s called a flintlock.”
I remember in 9th grade (2002), we had a couple Korean War veterans bring some old rifles from the Civil War and they told stories of their service and of their ancestors who fought in the Civil War (one veteran had a Union ancestor, the other had a Confederate ancestor) and it was one of the best experiences I had in school.
TIME CODES:
Hickok doesn't take time to aim, he whispers to the bullet where to go.
One of the only channels where you can watch a video from a decade ago, and it's nearly impossible to tell it's a decade old. I mean this as a compliment :)
I recently found this channel and absolutely love it. Thanks Hickok45 for all these great informative videos.
One day archeologists will conclude a great battle took place there. Lol
“It has terrible sights”
Guns changed a lot through the ages, but something really struck me the other day as far as military application. The role of a man on horseback, armed with a spear or some other kind of hand weapon remained virtually unchanged from the time of the ancient Egyptians until just before WWI.
This man reminded me of my grandpa. He had a very good interest in old rifles he had a lot of them, and he made me swords to have fun with. I miss him.
Bob Ross of the gun world
Imagine this man is your grandpa and you hear his house was broken into and he killed them with a flintlock Brown Bess
In the 2nd Slesvig War of 1864, the Danish troops was equipped with Caplocks and even some Flintlocks while the Prussians and Austrians had Trapdoor rifles. The advantage was so overwhelming that every major power rushed to the Trapdoor design in such a hurry that they tried to convert all their frontloaders as fast as possible since even minor powers didnt want to buy them. They were basically seen as useless by that point.
It's incredible how much more awesome a rifle can get when you put it in context. That 45-70 rifle was so much fun to watch with the context of the other two. Especially the casing extraction.
"This gun has terrible sights"
I like how he laughs after hitting the target,sounds like a 80's Sega genesis final boss
I would love to see an updated video since it's been 10 years and the new modern guns comparison
