    The flash of text on screen at 3min and 45sec “The Royal Armouries does not endorse any claims relating to the alleged burning of war materials by Australian persons following the Second World War.”

    I served in the Marine Corps back when the A2 was still standard issue. I honestly hated the rifle and thought it was absolute trash. Yes, it is extremely accurate and has low recoil. Very easy to handle. But I swear, those goddamn rifles jam if you simply look at them wrong. Garbage rifles.

    1/2 MoA? So (considering it's a .50) they're saying it will reliably put it's group pretty much through the same hole at 100yds? ...that's pretty impressive

    great to see this two real experts, historians and nice guy's together. In my opinion also great ambassadors for the technical and cultural importance of weapons. thank you so much from a sportshooter and hobby-historian and handcrafter and excuse my poor english (course i'm an uncultivated "east"german barbar...) 😉

    The handle reminds me of the curved handle of the Bisley-style Single Action Army revolvers that were designed for competition shooting.

    I don't know if anyone from Armouries ever reads these comments but if they do can I say that I'd be very interested in an episode that detailed how muzzle loaders (and later weapons I guess) are rifled - by what means, such as expanding reamers, multiple strokes (and how one gets the same previous cut?), any tech advances in such....maybe if others would also like to know they could add a like..??

    No, we loved out SLRs. Long, heavy with a kick like a mule, but they were excellent weapons. Surely the final decision should be from those izf us that used them in anger.

    I am 73 now, we called semi auto's automatic's back when I was a kid in the 50's and 60's, the M1911A1 was an automatic, as was the semi-auto .22 LR rifles that were around. My uncle gave me one after I quit working for him on his farm, so long as I would come back to work his farm as a farm hand working from sunrise to sunset for 5 bucks a day. I took the automatic and traded it for a cut off single shot .22 that was made into a very illegal pistol that I carried with me on the tractor when haying for my uncle.

    Ships have steep stairs. If you enter an enemy Ship you would likely shoot at the crew inside the bow. Opening the Hatches and shoot down. This gun clearly has its field of use, otherwise it would not be here today.

    My 2 cents. Not sure of the function, but looks like it would be more ergonomic to hold upside down with the pointer finger on the spur.

    I haden't realized that the museum had modern guns also. I wonder how much the rifle and scope cost. Sure is a beautiful rifle. Also, I hope ISIS didn't get a new .50 in Iraq.

    I think shooting blindly could work with defending a ship. Imagine multiple shooters. It could provide some kind of covering fire. It's unlikely they hit anyone, but you wouldn't risk getting too near to the area they point at. The main weakness of this defense is reloading, those pistols wasn't very quick to reload.

    I have an idea, could they be hidden/secret weapons, The stocks are made to look like the piece of furniture that they are hidden in, IE the handles are all that is seen and they look as tho they are part of a banister or back of a chair for example. If the owner has a problem he or she grabs the stock to suddenly produce a fire arm seemingly from out of nowhere.
