The Delvigne chamber rifle of the 1830-40s and the Austrian Kammerbüchse

Ғылым және технология

The chamber breech rifles were the first giant steps towards the general adoptation of the rifle and the conical bullets. Henri Gustav Delvigne from France and Vincenz Augustin from Austria played an important part in perfecting the system in the 1830s-40s. This video is showing its history, impact and effect on tactics, all displayed through the performance of the Model 1842 (or 1844) Austrian Kammerbüchse.

    I admire your work Mr. Nemeth. Your historical and technical knowledge is outstanding. I do no black powder shooting but I have an historical interest especially in US Civil War weaponry. I wish my father was still alive for he would have loved your channel and used it for technical reference. He shot and hunted with black powder. He fabricated his own ammunition and would create his own powder horns like you. Thank you.

    It's fascinating to see the different directions various designers went in their search for the ideal muzzleloading rifle. The Kammerbüchse was one that was more successful than others. The pillar-breech guns had the unfortunate tendency to bend the post in the chamber on which the bullet was deformed, according to Peterson. And the less said about the Brunswick with it's two-groove rifling and belted round ball bullet the better. Beautiful rifle, superb marksmanship, great presentation. Once again, thank you! Great dog, too...😄

    I understand that there were no conical projectiles in use at this time. I would however like to see what the performance would have been like if and when the rifles ever would have used a long conical projectile with a concave bottom that would have expanded to engage the rifling. I think it would probably have been a very accurate bullet and would have produced greater ballistic co-efficiency. Love your channel over here in Louisiana.

    Thanks for keeping this history alive, just imagine the amount of testing the inventors went through and you honour them with this video. However I believe your original powder charge was closer to being correct,... in fact it should have been:- 1. a faster burning powder, 2. higher potency, 3.10mm to 12mm air gap between the ball and powder, hence less powder and no filler. What was required was a degree of detonation from the powder charge at the rear of the ball to expand the ball into the rifling groves, rather than from the front with the ram rod. My guess is that the ram rod was weighted and mark to drop from a registered marker just to snug the ball rather than ram the ball into the rifling, thus only one ramming action.

Only thing I’m aware of is Wikipedia claiming data from the Hall Rifle trial (citing a 2009 issue of American Rifleman, but I can’t find this data anywhere else and don’t have the magazine in question) saying 2.223 a minute for smoothbore and 1.3 a minute for rifled. Any other data out there?

    These data are pretty close to the practical rate of fire during combat. Nearly all contemporary manuals of the 19th century give data for rate of fire, so there are plenty of info available. Some in detail info: Johann Andreas Demian: Anleitung zum Selb-Studium der Militärischen Dienstwissenschaft I. theil: Waffenlehre (Wien, 1807); William Duane: A hand book for riflemen (Philadelphia, 1813); Das deutsche Wehr- und Schützenwesen nach den technischen Anforderungen der Gegenwart (Darmstadt, 1861); Gerhard von Scharnhorst: Über die Wirkung des Feuergewehrs.
