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.
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.
Well, sir, on first sighting the new Sharpe upload, I naturally clicked it immediately. That's my style, sir.
That's soldiering!
Very droll sir, makes me chuckle every time I think of Simerson saying that, "that's my style sir" haha!
Major Lennox answered with his like, as you should have done it, if you had any sense of honour!
OK that's perfect @Supersolider01

Damn good Sharpeshooting. A fine display of Sharpesmanship.
Sharpe Sharp Shooting?
Now thats soldiering!
@@Puppyslayer420 that's his style, sir
Sharpeshooting? Now that’s soldiering.
Cheekily calling your superior officer by his first name, now that's soldiering.
I shall now refer to my wife as "scruffy creature"!
No dinner for you sir.
Now that’s soldiering

GOD SPEED SHARPE!!! GOD SPEEED!!!!
And he wins major battle against Napoleon with only a handful of men
Love the double set trigger
That's why they call them "Sharpeshooters" after all, right?
Like you could really hit that target with a baker rifle at 800 yards!
I thought he said 100?
He said 100.
I heard 800 too, but listening again he says "a hundred yards".
@@skaus2184It’s that Cheshire accent of his.
800 is possible as the bullet could probably travel that far depending on how good the powder is. But accurately and 10 times on the run? Not a chance
Sharpe's Robin Hood moment. New bookies, Harper's. 😁
A guinea technically worth £1.10 in modern money, I think, correct me if I'm wrong.
A guinea is 1 pound 1 shilling , so £1.05
@simonburroughs5199 Thank you for the info.
Sharpesmanship
British Infantry!
800 YARDS? With THOSE RIFLES? No. Just NO.
100 yard
It does sound like 800, but he actually said 100
open notch sights at 800 yards . . . . I have a peep-sight springfield M1A. . .and I barely do this at 600 . . .

Don’t worry about your English and I agree with your point
I don't get why Sharpe ended up shooting instead of old Dan just because he didn't have 50 guineas to bet. Anyone know?
Sharpe love interest , same old soldiering
The word sharp no longer has any meaning
