I am the 6 times great granddaughter of an elite rifleman of the Pennsylvania Militia 1st Rifle Regiment. He fought in every major battle of the American Revolution, from start to finish. Domari Nolo, greatest of granddaddies. Domari Nolo. ❤🐅

@fiiredark How is it possible for him to fight in every single battle? Did he teleport or clone himself? Some events took place at the exact same time.

Seems like every male in the north east of the country has been neutered for some time now..
The rifle, the shotgun, the revolver, AR-15 american weapons innobation has changed the world alot for such a newer country
Not even a passing mention of the Hall or Hall-North? The first military breechloader adopted en masse, and the first instance of modern manufacturing with machine-made interchangeable parts. Absolutely space age for the time.
Sam Colt had nothing on John Moses Browing, the greatest firearms designer in history!

Yea don't think so huh? Hmm. Colt pythons are my fav revolver. The 1911 was ahead if it's time. The browning Auto Rifle (Bar ) was as valuable in WWII as the SAW is today.
I love history

I too love hearing the differences in history as told by different people, with different agenda and different time periods.
You cloud make a smooth bore accurate @100 yards if you patched it but that wasn’t the point. It was volume of fire so they deliberately loaded a ball that was .010 smaller or so so then the gun started to fowl it could still be loaded. Kinda the attage of “no one complains about the inaccuracy of a machine gun” because that’s not the point
Three Cheers from a descendant of The Rathbone Radicals
Actually no, the American long rifle of the French and Indian, and the Revolutionary War periods were called "Pennsylvania rifles," not Kentucky rifles. It would be many years, nearly a century, before the first long rifle was made in Kentucky. The Pennsylvania rifle, originally produced in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1719, and then their clones and varients produced up and down the colonies, were most certainly Pennsylvania rifles by their design and origin. The first Kentucky-produced long rifles were most likely not produced until the early 1800s, nearly 100 years after the first Pennsylvania-produced flintlock rifle. Daniel Boone, a Pennsylvanian, carried a Pennsylvania rifle and not a Kentucky rifle as often misstated. The Kentucky rifle, merely a Pennsylvania rifle varient in stock design only, was not a Kentucky frontier staple until well into the 1800s. The primary source of Pennsylvania rifles purchased by the early Kentucky frontiersman were acquired most likely from Virginia and possibly Tennessee. It's important to do thorough research before making an historical documentary. So much of our American history and heritage are being rewritten and obliterated, as this documentary is culpable. It appears to be an American obsession to obliterate American history. Obviously from record of this video, corruption of US history is by no means contemporary. Facts matter.😮

You need to study more. They were called Kentucky rifles even though they were made in Pennsylvania because the majority of people buying them were traveling to Kentucky. Your attempt to sound smart revealed your ignorance.
Great documentary! There is America before Samuel Colt and America after Samuel Colt.
God, guts and guns made this Country! Don't let a handfull of Criminals in D.C. destroy our great Nation!!!!!

Hey Bubba did you know that more Americans have been killed BY Americans in AMERICA than ALL the Americans killed in ALL the foreign wars combined that Americans have fought in,mainly thanks to the second amendment, Hey Bubba did you know that 120,000 men women and children are shot every year in the U.S.A,mainly thanks to the second amendment ..😅
Gentlemen Officers need an Army for Glory
Maybe a half a teaspoon goes into the pan.
It was the Continental army that forgot the effective guerilla warfare and went back to the line method!
Bb were used against us in the Mexican war and in the Philippines- no end, yet.
This video is incorrect on one point. The narrator stayed Timothy Murphy took one shot to hit Simon Frazer. That's wrong. There are many accounts of him requiring 3 shots before he hit Frazer.
What a big mistake British Administration made?..? Back in the day.......look how the world is nowadays Together we could have made a better world 😊

After the Thirty Years War had devastated large swathes of Europe, the practice of line fighting was adopted, as a more "humane" style of fighting.

It was to maximize the accuracy of smoothbore muskets.
What a bunch of bullshit at that range those muskets were totally accurate.
The British may have considered sniping to be dishonorable but there was not a damn thing they could do about it except stand there and die. Lol😅

Your title on this story is incorrect. Those are not rifles. They are guns, rifle came in when they start putting rifling into the barrel. I recall my army days. You did not call it a gun.
Was the second amendment the biggest mistake in american history, ???....
