I know that I might be in a minority of super-nerds regarding this stuff, but I would be interested to see the "chain" of discoveries that led to the developments in metalurgy and chemistry necessary for these military technologies. For instance, I know that germany's dye and color industry was instrumental in their domination of chemical research in the 19th and 20th century and dye research pretty much directly led to developments in chemical warfare and explosives. Often in history talks or docs, developments in metalurgy seem to come out of the blue and revolutionize some aspect of industrialization, weaponry, transport, energy, etc and it would be nice to know the context behind some of these developments.

In reference to handguns, the Walker was most definitely not known as "The Gun That Won The West", that distinction goes to the 1873 Colt Single Action Army, also called the Colt Peacemaker. In general reference, the 1873 Winchester lever action repeating rifle is "The Gun That Won The West." In reality, single and double barreled shotguns probably did most of the daily work and truly, "Won The West", due to their cost, utility and ubiquity. Hell, they only made 1000 or a bit more 1847 Walker revolvers in total.

Also near the beginning of WW 1, the invention of stripper clip and steel magazine phased out old traditional rifle and pistols bringing a dawn of new lighter and simple descendant,Individual firepower that brought them to another conflict within 30 years.

black powders came in various grain sizes since the 18th century. Smokeless has came in flake, ball, and cylinder since it was invented

Between the XVI and XVIII centuries, each Spanish Tercio/Regiment had a dedicated gunsmith workshop. This was the cause for a Spanish idiom: "las reclamaciones, al maestro armero" ("all complains must go to the gunsmith master"), as there were many complaints from officers to the soldiers when their muskets (specially the early models) malfunctioned. Also, Spain kept the same basic musket/rifle design for about a century, though with refit updates. This was the model 1752, which had a Miquelet lock (unique kind of flintlock). After the Napoleonic wars, they made a rifle version (model 1828 rifle) and later a percussion cap version (model 1836 rifle). I think there was even a breechloading version, but wasn't produced due to budged constrains, and afterwards Spain adopted the Mausers.

Small note on the Needle gun. Ive shot them a few times now and the gas seal on the Dreyse, especially the newer ones with improved seal, were sufficient enough. The biggest problems were the larger caliber of the Dreyse which caused the shorter range and the extra step needed for reloading. The Dreyse has some advantages though, especially the cartridge is much easier and faster to make and even if the seal isnt perfect after fouling, any escaping gases would be directed forward due to the maching of the cylinder head and breech so its much safer than a broken Chassepot seal. Also the needle isnt that much of an issue if properly taken care of, itll last many hundred shots and can be replaced easily.

Also, repeaters existed a long time before the 19th century, some even as early as the 16th century. However, they were too expensive to make, and before industrialization they had to be made individually, parts were not interchangeable, so they couldn't be repaired in the field, and required expert craftsmen for maintenance. Therefore it was never widespread as a soldier's standard equipment, and remained a hunting weapon for rich noblemen. (look up the Kalthoff repeater, for example)

Another fun fact (splitting them to not mix discussions): Gatling gun concept basically lives up to modern day. Minigun is basically an electrically operated Gatling gun, which was btw tinkered with at the end of XIX century, but at that moment was considered useless, because there was no technology for feeding a gun with such high rate of fire reliably.

This is the content I love.

now this might already be in the works given the sharp cutoff at 1901, but i personally would love to see one detailing 20th century advances as well

Great video, please make another one for the 20th century

I love how machine guns went from BOOM BOOM BOOM to BRRRRRT

I think stripper/charger clips were later developed by Mauser and not Lee. Lee just invented the box magazine. Also, smokeless powder was invented in France in 1884, before cordite was developed in Britain.

I would love a vid on the Portuguese Colonial War. It is such a unique and vastly underappreciated conflict, and I bet it would make for a fantastic video.

My grandfather fpught in the Portuguese colonial war, he fought in Angola and served between 1969 and 1971. He is a great grandfather and a good person despite remembering the war.

i think if the big three of armchair, simple history and over simplified did a podcast together id totally listen to it

Dr Mark Felton is excellent too

I love this kind of video topic, more please!

Fantastic video as always. I wasn't aware of the dangers of Breech-Loaders, one of the few times I don't recommend aiming down a sight!

Brilliant video, I've been searching for this exact topic for a while now. Would love to see another about the big guns ;) Artillery made some very interesting strides during this period too!

Agreed! I haven't searched for it myself but I can only imagine the difference it made to naval combat going from muzzle loaded cannons to breach loaded.

Will you be making more evolution videos I would really like to see more of these evolution videos. Not just on weapons but also on tanks, and planes. These videos are so good to watch

Yes, and on army uniforms as well….

yeah guns are definitely beautiful. the different models, styles, strange alternative mechanics. I love the history of guns as well

I _loved_ the animation of the maxim gun. So satisfying!
