Guns of Revolution: The History of French Muskets: Featuring

The Charleville musket was a .69 caliber standard French infantry musket used in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was made in 1717 and was last produced during the 1840s. However, it still saw limited use in conflicts through the mid-19th century

    For anybody who is interested in Rever0311's channel here it is youtube.com/@revere0311?feature=share Also, please bear with the sound of the birds in the background. I had to turn the air conditioner off in the studio so that you could hear me And whenever I did this I opened the door not realizing there was a nest on the porch right next to the microphone lol

    It does not get any better than this. I doubt that a college professor of history could have delivered a better lecture on the subject as you did today. Bravo, Ethan Woods. . . . I tip my Tricorne to you, Sir.

    Happy belated Independence Day everybody! I hope everyone got to enjoy fireworks and family during the 4th! I know that it is not really on subject, but I don't see enough channels discussing the musketoon; You could fire a big fat ball out of it or a wad of shot. Very handy! How prevalent were they?

    @ 24:11 That stock shape calls to mind the M1754 Kommisseflinte and its M1768 replacement-both Austrian. They had a similar stock shape, and I've never gotten a satisfactory explanation of its function. I've never had the chance to try either to find out for myself by taking these out for shooting. This raises a question: Does anyone know how influential Austrian design was on the French muskets? We already know the Liechtenstein ordnance was an important influence on Gribeauval's artillery system (he was actually attached to the Austrian Army and was decorated by Maria Theresa for his services in the Seven Years' War).

    I understand, but I can’t point to the source, that 600,000 French muskets were shipped to America It’s unlikely there were forty thousand American soldiers So not counting Dutch, Spanish, captured besses, civilian muskets fit for service that’s fifteen muskets per soldier Some dropped at a fight, some busted, some stolen, but that’s a lot of guns That’s one for every forth person in the colonies Unless my numbers are in error I noted you said a hundred and some thousand. That’s still one for every twenty citizens

    I understand and can’t prove that after French loss in North America that many French muskets went in to American armories in the colonies So could we see 75 and 76 in to 77 Americans using pre 1760 models of the French guns? Even the old calfsfoot muskets, as Brits captured a lot of guns in the earlier wars between 1690 and 1743
